DeNiro Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Ferraro we didn't really need. If we were gonna make a spot available, I'd rather have Gaunce or Grenier take it. He would have been an upgrade over Cracknell though. I wouldn't have minded us picking up Granberg. We could really use D depth right now. Maybe Benning is planning to call up Pedan.

BettyWhites44 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I think the only reason we didn't pick up Granberg is because we're at the 50 contract limit already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 And where does Nashville play Granberg? Right side > Weber, Jones, Ellis. He's going to sit like Corrado! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Benning is just playing the media game. They want a top 4 D-man in return. That means they probably asked for Tanev or Edler. I doubt Benning has interest in moving either at this point.

Source? General Fanager says 45 currently. I'm not surprised we didn't put in a claim but I wouldn't have minded. That said, I don't know a tonne about Granberg and I'd assume the brass didn't see enough to warrant putting in a claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackcanuck Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Ferraro Claimed by Boston Boston Bruins @NHLBruins 42m42 minutes ago Julien on Ferraro: "He’s fast, he’s gritty, I know he kills penalties; he’s a second-round pick & Detroit usually drafts pretty well."

Baer. Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Granberg to Nashville is a head scratcher. They really don't need him. Ferraro to Boston. Guess that makes sense. Not like they are short on centres though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior contracts slide....besides that even if we were at 50 to start the year we lost Frankie to the leafs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 We had priority over Nashville, so evidently JB didn't want him. Pretty sure we have available contract space, and I highly doubt the bottom/pressbox D on Nashville are worse than ours. Not to mention he has a history with Edler. Bit of a head-scratcher, hopefully someone asks him about it sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Granberg to Nashvolle huh...insane depth. Possibly one of the best historical depth of defense in the modern league. Possible trade for forward help?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackcanuck Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Well he has played more than Corrado already! Boston Bruins @NHLBruins 23s23 seconds ago Landon Ferraro making his #NHLBruins debut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z Hockey Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Dad Ray who does a lot of TSN games in Vancouver, and lives here, would love Landon here. I'd be interested in both, still decent prospects with nice intangibles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a head-scratcher, hopefully someone asks him about it sometime. Thing with Granberg is, he is a positional defenseman. There isn't much upside there. He will never be more than a bottom pairing guy. He has had a better go in the AHL because he can make for his lack of mobility with smart situational play. I don't want to write him off but he is a severely limited player at the NHL level and I don't think the Canucks have enough mobility on the blue line to compensate for his deficiencies. I think Ferraro was the much better claim and I cannot believe that some of the teams close to the bottom didn't consider picking him up. I think he is playing under the right coach who should be able to get the most out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
