Alflives Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 2 minutes ago, Comet Fan 0727 said: Yeah. What's your point? You're asking for help in Utica. Trading for pick/prospects generates depth, which certainly filters down to the Comets, right? Like this new guy we got for Burr. Likely he's in Utica next season. Trading Hansen will probably add bodies to the Comets too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 6 hours ago, TheGuardian_ said: Jonathan Dahlen is not signed, they traded for his rights, if he doesn't sign he goes back into the draft. Not likely to but this could end up being a bust if he doesn't sign. He has four months to get a signature so it will likely get done but wwwill that then assure the kid of a top six spot? No you're wrong about that. Dahlen was drafted last summer, in the 2016 entry draft. The is no four month deadline, you're just serving up the usual drama.

DownUndaCanuck Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Absolutely robbed the Sens and this is the big TD and draft for Benning IMO. 3 years in, his career with the Canucks depends on this TD and draft IMO. He's put some nice pieces together to make a decent core and now he's added a skilled playmaking center too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I call trading away a half dozen draft picks to get two 3rd line players nothing. Especially when the possible star dman may have already been traded away. No matter what you think Forsling cracked the Chicago line up, you know those guys that have recently won 3 Stanley cups. Besides Tryamkin is here now, give him another full year, he is already a top 4 guy. Hilarious that you shot your mouth off just before Benning robbed Ottawa. Keep up the good work champ!

It's just a step in the right direction. Vancouver has been trading picks and prospects in order to make the playoffs, but have turned into a bottom feeder instead. This comes at the cost of a "proper" rebuild. I'm not a critic of Benning's abilities in drafting or trading, but the direction/vision of the team has been a complete joke. Everyone saw it coming, and either Benning or ownership didn't. So please don't act like this is all part of some grand plan. Finally they're selling, so I'm open to seeing how Benning will do at actually rebuilding by trading for prospects & picks. If this is the only move, then not much has changed. If more picks/prospects are coming then for me, there'll be a reason to have optimism in a long time. Soooo. you're calling the Baertschi, Gudbranson, and Granlund trades crap. The team's direction is obvious, your remarks are a joke. The massive turnover in this roster since Benning took over completely escapes you? Hundreds of grueling negative posts. Cheer up. There's a brighter future. Feel free to disagree. After all you're the expert. Please enlighten us. Your qualifications are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, to blatantly deny the fact that JB whiffed on Virtanen and missed out on Tkachuk is just as annoying as critiquing a draft a year later. Juolevi will be a good defender without a doubt but for him to catch up to Tkachuk is almost impossible. He is probably 2 years away with our depth and doesn't have the shot to be a true 1A. Tkachuk has just as many points as the beloved Bo Horvat. Let that really sink in. Tkachuk = Bo Horvat's point production in his ROOKIE season. Now take off your rose coloured sun glasses and take a deep breath of reality, let it sober you. Tkachuk's size and skill are going to be generational for his style of player. That's a huge miss. And yet you think every one is wrong? I wanted Ehlers, but could understand why they chose Virtanen. Tough luck, unfortunately picks don't always go the way they hope for... Who did you want? Juolevi I could understand even more... We haven't taken a chance on a star D since Bourdon, and I think its/was the right time to do so if you want the team to mature together. I don't want Oilers, where we chose forwards all the time, and are average at best at the back. And forget about McD... They got lucky in the draw. Without him they were still going nowhere... Finally the original reason for my post is there is 4 or 5 threads that is just going in circles. The same people post the same argument, pro as well as cons, on and on and on....

Burrows signed an extension before the deal was finalized. I suspect that's why we knew a deal was in place with Ottawa well before finding out the return. We found out the return after it was announced Burr had signed a two year extension with Ottawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
