Smashian Kassian Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 It doesn't take a lot of time to mosey on over to hockeydb.com. Look at Gudbranson's stats in the OHL. Then go look at a guy like Pietrangelo's. He appears to be pretty strictly a defensive defenseman. IMO, a bad pick by the Panthers. Too high. I'll take Fowler ahead of him, thanks.

Smashian Kassian Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 "Interesting" is an interesting way to describe it. "Risky", "eye-opening", "crazy" might be another way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Quit dreaming about Gudbransnon guys. He's not going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I don't think it is that risky, maybe they won't produce but they won't be a liability defensively IMO. Like I said they all have interesting dimensions to their game that combined could be a great line, I'm excited to see how it goes, if it goes fine it would be a very dynamic line.

Canucks fan in chicago Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I honestly think Mike Gillis is an idiot. He NEVER makes a bold move in ANY way. He thinks all these "Cam Barker" type deals are going to make a stronger team. WHY DID HE TRADE AWAY HODGSON!? He tosses around words like "depth", yeah depth has never won us a cup before! Secondly, he has made the dumbest moves in the history of this team. First of all, trading for Ballard!? Trading for Booth?!? What did that get us? Now he wants a king's ransom for Luongo! Are you serious Gillis? And what's up with our second line? Schroeder or Ebbett? ARE YOU SERIOUS! Mike is too loyal to his players. And he only cares about "size and grittyness" and not about skill! MAKE A MOVE GILLIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sbriggs Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 No I prefer him gone today.. I'm just sayin it to get a response out of hard liners that say Lou is worth peanuts. I actually wanna know if they think his value would be increased or if his long contract is still worth bozak and a 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks fan in chicago Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Luongo obviously doesn't want to be in Vancouver and by waiting longer Luongo's price is gonna drop dramitically. I'm not sure what Gillis is thinking, but if I were ownership I'd fire him immediately and replace him with a guy who actually knows how to make deals.

Canucks fan in chicago Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 You're describing the polar opposite of Gillis in your posts. If it wasn't for him we wouldn't have locked up Luongo, the Sedins, Burrows and Kesler long term as well as sign/trade for Hamhuis, Ehrhoff, Booth, Ballard, Higgins, Samuelsson, Lapierre, Torres, Kassian etc. Think before you speak.

DeNiro Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Gudbranson could just as well be the next Bryan Allen at this point. Too many people on here equate potential to actual value. Gudbranson is a good prospect, but he gets way too hyped for what he has actually done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
