UFCanuck Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Gillis hater go back under your bridge. Gillis just filled our biggest need and we also are getting Selke..I mean Kesler back within a week. If Roy clicks in Van, MG will find a way to keep him long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 This deal happened with the emergence of Frank Corrado, Peter Andersson and Henrik Tommernes. Connauton became a redundant player. Great deal by MG...filling a need we desperately had to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkoshack Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Terrible trade! An undersized UFA, at the end of his contract, for our best D prospect and a 2nd in a deep draft? Total fail. We're not exactly deep on prospects, and we just gave up two more for a 2 month rental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiers Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Yay another small forward/center with injury prone problems , groin this year shoulder surgery last.... Hope I am wrong by some miracle but jeesh thought there would be SOMETHING better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salo'sBomb Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 My hope is that AV keeps him a 2nd C when Kes comes back and move Kes to the RW. Roy is a playmaker and can dish out passes to Kes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Going to say this. The Roy deal smells like one which the Canucks could utilize to put Kes at RW. Roy is small as crap but he is one hell of a set up man and for the sake of preserving longevity for Kes it makes sense to move him to RW as he would be less likely to be injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfruits Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Not a fan of this trade. Roy is a rental and MG just gave up our best D prospect and 2nd round pick. This years team is not going to win the Stanley Cup. This trade is not worth the price that was paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assistant GM Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Good job Gillis, nice bargain. Even with him being a rental this is still a good move. Realistically, Connaughton wouldnt have cracked the lineup with the back end so strong anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagleeyedak Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 46.7% FO doesn't really inspire confidence in taking the necessary responsibilities as 3rd C on this team, assuming Keslord comes back guns blazing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 My only concern is what the future holds now for Jordan Schroeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxgoalie Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Roy is a second liner, not a third liner.... We have Schroeder on the 3rd line, and he's doing fine playing there. Kesler will be playing RW with Roy down the middle. Look what LA gave up for Regher.... This is a solid trade.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks fan in chicago Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Awesome trade! We fill a need, we get a leader who's also a centerman, and all we give up is a draft pick and a defenceman! I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danthecanucksfan Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 After this year, we should buy out booth and have this as our top 6. Sedin-Sedin-Burrows Higgins-Kesler-Roy Re-sign Roy to second line money on a 2-3 year contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALTtimegreat Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 alright Gillis, dont stop here; Go get Jagr, Clowe and another D for depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
