YOU'RE TRASH O'SULLIVAN I like how his initials are POS..... sounds about right. Seriously he's just a little whiner and a terrible person to go out of his way to trash Burrows for something that happened a really long time ago.

terrible.dee Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I don't know a lot about Dahlen (I assume he's Ulf Dahlen's son?) But this looks like a great trade for Benning, I'm not a Benning fan at all, but I'll give credit where it's due This looks good, nice work Benning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, it's not really a 'weakness' per se either. He's not a slug. He's an 'ok' skater who could work on that facet to better thrive in the NHL. Right now he lacks the break away speed that would allow him to thrive, even dominate. But he's also only 20 and if he had that, we wouldn't have got him for Burr.

J.I.A.H.N Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 As a Canuck fan...............I'm #1 Impressed #2 Sad #3 Happy #4 Sad - Great trade for Benning - Will really miss Burr - Wish Burr a fantastic next 2 1/2 years ...... really great he got the extension! - want to thank Burr for one of my very favorite hockey memories.........pulling the puck out the air near the blueline , going in and scoring.......all Canucks have that memory! - Wonder how long it is before we have someone that can really take his place.......tenacity, speed, IQ, toughness, team player, defensive, and genuine! What a bargain! I will be rooting for Ottawa in these playoffs, and probably as long as Burrows is there! and Great job Benning! * Note to Canuck fan's.......don't dump on the youngster if he takes a year or 2 to adjust.......just give him some time!

Well yeah, I'd give away anyone not named Horvat currently on the team for a Landeskog. I don't think he'll net us anywhere close to that. His value is at the lowest it can be right now. He's better then what we could get for him imo so that's why I don't want to trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I don't see it that way. All picks and prospects are various rolls of the dice with different odds and payoffs. What we traded Burrows for was for a shot at something. It doesn't matter if Dahlen works out or not, we traded somebody whom if even if he did resign was not necessarily what this team needed moving forward. Dahlen is found money, all he really cost was the opportunity cost of somebody else we may have gotten. It's like when people harp on Benning for the Vey for a 2nd deal. That trade only fails in hindsight, but even then... not really. Hindsight is 20/20. Vey was traded for a late second round pick and at the time with the information known that was a good deal. Now in hindsight... well, it's still not bad. A 50th overall pick average out to be a decent minor leaguer (with the odd star thrown in to spice it up). We got a fringe NHLer for it. The trade is really a wash, we got late-second-round value out of Vey. Just because it didn't pan out doesn't mean it wasn't a worthwhile gamble at the time. A 30% chance at $100 is worth $30, no matter how you slice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Dahlen looks like a real goal scorer, not afraid to shoot or drive the net. Could be an exciting player to watch. But he'll need to learn how to pass in the NHL lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
