Tallon stepped down and the new GM stripped his division leading team. Then after it was burnt to the ground they brought Tallon back to build it back up. Fits the narrative but I think its more just trying to sell papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it included guddy (and i think it was more of a case of vancouver taking demers contact and getting paid for it) the trade probably would have went something like guddy for demers, a blue chip prospect and a 2nd.

Junkyard Dog Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 As the season goes on people will see the value Gudbranson brings to the team. What Tallon sees in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedinyoureyesontheprize Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 At least a 2nd rnd, 4th and a prospect for Guddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Trade Gudbranson and the next day you are in the market for a big d-man who can handle the size now in the West. Wake up call Tryamkin is gone! Edler is not by nature a consistant physical force. IMO Edler feeds off Guddy. Fans are excited by a victory over the Oilers but any suggestion that the existing Canuck roster could compete physically with the Oilers over a playoff series is simply not realistic. I do not see EG being traded any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickels Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Don't know how Benning could do a deal like this....Are either of those players better than McCann ? The Panthers(who know all players involved), don't think so.... Doubt Tallon would do McCann and a 2nd ? (BTW that 2nd would be worse than ours was) Gudbranson will be a tuff one...thought the contract was a real head scratcher by Benning. I understand the "show me" part....but you probably lose the asset for nothing at the end of the year. Or more likely, move as a rental Gudbranson at 5 x 4-4.5m has a lot more value than he has now.

gerry35 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 More fake news. I don't doubt that Tallon wants him back but I can't see that happening from this end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Throw in a first, not lottery protected, and then maybe JB considers it if we can't re-sign Quads at a fair price/term. Hockey has started and there's plenty of real story lines to discuss yet these guys keep spewing out click-bait garbage. Guess they couldn't fabricate any bs Boeser rumors after Green shut that down on after hours so they began this made-up garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I don't like either of the players mentioned. If we're taking a hit on the blueline, or even talking about it this early in the season, I should hope an NHL ready defenseman is part of the package coming back. I'm not opposed to moving him, as it seems he could test free agency at the end of the season. McCann is turning into a forward for them, we can't lose the same trade twice by acquiring the aforementioned undersized AHLers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckGAME Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Yeah, I'll pass. Thanks Dale. I think the fact Dale wants him back so badly is reason enough to keep Gud. Tallon is an amazing judge of talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM_ Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Is this actually new info? Seems to me like they were still talking about the Demers potential deal no? I hope we can work something out with Guddy to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HC20.0 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 If we still had Tryamkin, I might entertain it, but no thank you. I love Gudbranson. I'd rather keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kidding. Did people not see the effectiveness he had on last nights game? You know Lucic and kassian were itching to rile things up but seemed deterred by Guddy and Dorsett. Don't know how some don't see the benefit of having a balanced team. Guddy is a piece of the puzzle who cannot be taken out, otherwise we get back into the 2011 Boston problems we had and I definitely do not want to go back to that.
