Yeah I'd go along with that ..... in a couple of years time McCann maybe the best C on the roster. But next season he should still be in Utica unless of course a miracle takes place and he is helped with divine intervention :lol:

I know a pharmacist that will sell him some 'divine intervention' in his car after work.       I wonder if Jared knows him yet?   Hahah

Vancouver, B.C. – Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has acquired defenceman Erik Gudbranson and Florida’s 2016 fifth round pick (NYI) in exchange for Jared McCann and the Canucks 2016 second and fourth round picks.

Gudbranson, 24, spent the 2015.16 season with the Florida Panthers, collecting nine points (2-7-9) and 49 penalty minutes in 64 games. He also appeared in six playoff games. The Ottawa, Ontario native ranked third on the Panthers in hits (150), fourth in blocked shots (73) and fourth in average ice time per game (20:06). The 2010 3rd overall NHL draft pick ranked second on the Panthers and led Florida defencemen in average ice time in the 2016 playoffs (26:54) in addition to ranking second on the team in blocked shots (8).

The 6’5”, 216-pound defenceman has collected 43 points (11-32-43) in 309 NHL regular season games over the span of five seasons with the Panthers.

On the international stage, Gudbranson earned a silver medal as a member of Canada at the 2011 World Junior Championships. He also won gold at the Ivan Hlinka Tournament in 2009.

I like Gudbranson and our defense is gonna be freaking beastly with all that size but I really thought highly of McCann. If he can make the transition to wing, oh boy watch out.

 

JB may regret this one if McCann pans out. That 2nd rd pick hurts a lot too. JB seems to part with picks very easily. Gives em out like halloween candy.
