sampy Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 He'll need it for that real estate market. Are you kidding? He's coming from Vancouver, the most expensive real estate in North America. Top 5 in the world. Anaheim isn't even close to Vancouver. Bieksa will be able to sell his Van home and put a million in his pocket. Not even close! Sucks to lose Bieksa. One of only a few and heart and soul players on the current Canucks team. My men's beer league team could push the current Canucks team around.

oldnews Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Awesome terms for Juice, including the NMC. Anaheim showed him the money - and paid a 2nd for him. Obviously they value him highly - and he'll have a shot to contend with them. Perhaps the best of all circumstances unfolded here. I also think Anaheim's up-tempo, physical style will suit him and may be the ideal place for him to get his game back, with some great depth to play with.

Warhippy Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Good. We couldn't give Juice that contract and a genuine shot at a cup. Anaheim can and in a decent 5/6 role so he can be optimized on the ice to his abilities. I hate the fact we traded him in the division for only a 2nd. Like REALLY hate it. Benning makes me more and more nervous with his asset management, but there was little else he could do I guess. Still sad Bieksa is gone even if it is for the best. But with the way our team is trending and where we all know the Ducks are. I hope Bieksa and Kesler kick a hole in the west and win their cup. They deserve it.

Neversummer Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 He did good, real good. Set for life and a chance to hoist the Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 He is better insulated in ANH's D. He'll fit in really well there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Wonder what Don Cherry will be more mad at? Canucks for trading him? Or Toronto for not trading for him? Or if he has a bounce back year and gets 30 points and CDC will go nuts..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I agree that some people around here will learn a few things. You don't know what you've got until it's gone. And SMH at the amateur Capologists. What makes people think that they are the arbiter of a player's worth, just because they watch the Canucks on a regular basis? Don't you think the Ducks have done their due diligence on Juice? They have access to film and the same advanced stats that everyone else has... Good. We couldn't give Juice that contract and a genuine shot at a cup.

The people who call veterans old and slow who by way of that assume all young players will be speedy studs. I can do nothing but cheer for him as he moves forward. And I will.

drdeath Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Heh as I expected yesterday juice gets to watch his buddy Ryan Kesler walk twice in three seasons when the Ducks don't win the cup this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Arg... 3 seasons of watching him in a ducks uni... =( All the best to him. This one really hurts. Equalling luongo trade pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 sure would have loved to see the pick be conitional, with an extension it gets bumped to a 1st or we get another pick. Thats only smart dont ya think, 3 years of juice for a late 2nd... goes with the kassian for an older less productive ufa in a year prust....

Coconuts Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Hurts to watch it happen but I'm happy for him. He'll be better insulated in Anaheim and have a legit chance to win. He'll make good coin too. It was time to move on but I'll always root for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go get a cup, Juice...you certainly deserve one No, we just understand that at some point there needs to be a changing of the guard, for the sake of the team and for the player. NHL is full on a young man's league now. Have to bite the bullet. And typically yes, young players will be faster and have more energy than older players. Anaheim is ready to compete for the cup, so a vet like KB is huge for them. Canucks are ready to let young guys step in, so that roster space and that pick is huge for us. Bieksa's intangibles can be replaced. People are acting like he is some superhero who we will never see the likes of again. Great guy, but we just brought in another hugely great team guy in Prust. It's transition time. Much love for Bieksa, Canucks did right by him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lidstrom Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Good price for a vet. He has it all if ya really think about it. Playoff experience (including a cup run), multiple 30 point seasons, fights and hits consistently throughout his career, known mean streak around the NHL (say what you want, but intimidation is still a factor). Even if he doesn't skate particularly well, he does stay relatively well positioned (so long as it's not on the rush) and is a big net presence on defence. He'll slot in nicely on that Ducks team. And our time isn't now anymore and likely won't be while Bieksa is in the NHL. This trade is fair for both sides. He may make questionable trade calls, but we hired Mr. Jim Benning for his drafting, and this is going to be a long term project to make the Canucks successful for years. We've enjoyed a few years of success, which most teams don't even get aside from a select elite (see Chicago). We now need to build a foundation that will continue to be fruitful for hopefully decades (see Detroit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
