DeNiro Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Remember when the Flames traded Leopold and a 3rd round pick for Bouwmeester's negotiating rights a week before he was a free agent? Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneypuckOverlord Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 the Canucks could have made this offer 5 months ago and it will be turned down. Dale Tallon had no business in trading him away. Mike Gilis attempted to trade for him 3 years ago. Jim Benning attempted to trade for him again. Talon said no Quote no one is saying that JB turned a whiny Kesler into a Brandon Sutter and a top 4 BIG D in Gudbranson, because he is the worst gm in the league right? but but but we lose, because we also forked up a 2nd rounder. 2nd rounders are the savior of franchises.

And we gave up NOTHING. McCann won't become an NHL player. Florida sucks, and will not make the playoffs this season. They are stupid. We laugh at them. Oh, and the Coilers suck too.

Gudbranson is more of a top 4 then McCann being a NHL regular. We were the worst team in the league, with injuries yet he still had problems cracking our top 12.

Phil_314 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 In both short and long-term perspectives, I feel like the Canucks can say that they won the trade (or at least they likely won't lose). The team has found a big-minute role for Erik, and even from one game he's doing pretty well. Being decently mobile, physical and solid, he's been reliable and even able to join attacks when given the opportunity. Short of Tryamkin or other right-side D-men sweeping management off their feet, I think the team has acquired a very reliable foundational asset who would be tough to remove from a prominent role in the roster for the foreseeable future and one who could take on a leadership role as the current core passes the torch. Meanwhile, I'm not sure Florida is giving Jared an environment where he'll have many opportunities to show that he can be a major contributor that he could be. The reason I say this is that, as a team on the ascent, the young core that's emerging up front on the Panthers is not much older than Jared, and thus will stick around and continue to play major roles unless Jared supplants any of them (Huberdeau, Marchessault at LW; Barkov, Bjugstad, Trocheck at center; Smith at RW). Of course Jussi and Jagr will move on in a couple of seasons' time, but with all the years of high draft position I would be surprised if there wasn't more competition for roster spots from intriguing but lesser-known prospects (e.g. who's this Denis Malgin guy who's a 4th round pick but playing more minutes per night than Jared? Who's to say that there aren't more guys on the cusp of making the NHL?). Even with Hubie and Bjugstad out, he's still only been playing around 10 minutes per night, and ice time will be even harder to come by once those two stars are back. Long story short, he'll be in a dogfight to earn and keep a major spot up front, and if he doesn't work on his strength he might not be suitable to play on the wing in a more grinding bottom-6 role, while he might not have the flexibility to play center or wing if his face-offs don't improve.
