Another wave of trades is expected to go down in the NHL before the start of the season.
On Friday, a massive move happened when the Montreal Canadiens traded Carey Price's contract, a move that could set the scene for further deals.
Heavy.com recently suggested a deal between the Detroit Red Wings and the Vancouver Canucks involving three players, including Tyler Myers, plus a draft pick.
Check it out:
Detroit Red Wings acquire: Tyler Myers
Vancouver Canucks acquire: Justin Holl, Eemil Viro, and a conditional 2028 second-round pick that becomes a first-round pick if Detroit advances to the Eastern Conference Finals before the 2028 NHL Draft.

Trade Proposal Sends Tyler Myers To The Detroit Red Wings
At 6-foot-8, Myers would instantly make Detroit's already physical blue line one of the toughest to face in the NHL.
He's a proven veteran with 1,066 NHL games played with Buffalo, Winnipeg, and Vancouver, totaling 395 points.
For Detroit, moving a prospect and a pick might seem steep for a 35-year-old veteran. But parting ways with Holl and replacing him with Myers could be enticing for Steve Yzerman.
Despite missing the playoffs, Vancouver's summer was quiet. Many expected significant moves, especially with Quinn Hughes entering the final year of his contract.
However, the team can rely on a lot of depth on the blue line. Shipping away a defenseman to address other lineup needs could be an interesting option for the Canucks and General Manager Patrik Allvin.
Myers has two seasons left on his $3M AAV contract, while Holl's $3.4M AAV deal is set to expire at the end of next season.
