stawns Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 The humourous aspect of this trade is all the chicken littles are now drunk on the idea that JB is going to gut the roster and will get overpayment on every deal. This could, very well, be the only deal made, regardless of what JB says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot can change in 3 years though and I do like the kid. If he's behind Biega and Pedan in 2 years then he's not as good as people say he is.

Just saying, you can't say we shouldn't even consider trading him. Well... everyone except Horvat can be considered as tradable as far as I'm concerned.

And he's going to have a serious "burr" in his saddle this year because he's got something to prove in Ottawa. He will make the news somehow, I guarantee it They are going to love him over there.

"At this time" I would say he has a big hill to climb to be a #7D for us in 3 years with Edler Juolevi Tryamkin Hutton et alll lots of moves will have to be made and Brisebois will have to really buckle down to make it on the roster.

Nuxfanabroad Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 & another beautiful aspect: WHEN(with significant season left) have the Canucks had significant open cap space, in recent yrs? This leeway & leverage can open up so MANY more options. Sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfstonker Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Decent trade. I think we have to move on. We have moaned for a while about lack of high end skill and to all accounts this boy has that. He also has speed. However he lacks size and that is becoming quite critical for our offense. Burr was/is a physical player who also had skill and speed so I guess we have reduced our cap and got younger at best. I like it but it remains to be seen if JB has scored a home run.
