Horvats_Big_Head Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Gudbranson is a bad, bad man. It would be a mistake to trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SedinMadness Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I will never understand that if other teams are showing interest in our player then why on earth would we trade him. why can't we harness his value....i just don't get it....

Canuck Surfer Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 10 hours ago, VIC_CITY said: 6 is still pretty significant. Gudbranson has only averaged 2 fights a season over the last 4 years. He's tough, no one is arguing that. But I feel like there's a group of posters on here that think he's the incredible hulk or something. Kevin Bieksa was a much better fighter IMO and that didn't exactly stop anyone from pushing around the Sedins. The league is changing. There's less and less focus on physical play. The Sedins (our most pushed around players are playing less) and our team is getting physically stronger with age, not to mention smarter. This to me has more of an affect than Gudbranson. You could be proud of Kev as a fighter. He always gave it an honest go. Won a few fights. Lost a few. But no one serious was afraid of him. Guddy scares people. Not just cuz he fights. He hurts people in the corners. He clears the net. There are a lot less scrums in front of our net... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastVanCanuck Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Why would we trade Guddy to the hated Leafs? In my eyes, Gudbranson is a player that will show his true worth during the playoffs. You need his leadership, his toughness and his defensive skill. His game is built for the playoffs. Do you believe that the media hype that is being orchestrated by Toronto media lap dogs will really force Jim's hand to trade with them? Laughable.

WHL rocks Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Who cares which team fans hate.. if he gets traded you trade him to the team that offers best return. I have a feeling he's going to Penguins. 1st and a throw in prospect. I'd rather re sign him but if he's not re signed by TDL he has to get traded.

Just don't hold your breath that it will happen. Just because you can trade a player, doesn't mean you should trade a player. On the other hand there's a couple of left handed D-men that I would have no problem moving, I just doubt they'd bring back much value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches5 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 10 hours ago, LegionOfDoom said: Can't even sign him yet and your already calling him a write off on getting him signed and him becoming a UFA on us. Nothing points towards the fact he's not happy here, And your asking what I'm talking about ? You need to stop worrying about issues that are not issues yet cheers mate No. I &^@#ing didn't say that. He is a pending UFA right now when we traded for him he was an RFA. There is a big difference between the two and him being a pending UFA diminishes his trade value exponentially. If you're implying we should risk trying to sign him instead of trading him for Liljegren or similar prospect that is just pure stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the puck more often than you don't then you are doing something right. We don't need Gudbranson at all, we need dmen who can skate up and down the ice fast and move the puck even faster and Guddy can do neither. Its a speed game now not a game of physicality. Yeah.....and Jim Rutherford signed Ryan Reaves for what reason exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliPeterson40 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Although highly unlikely, and I love what gudbranson brings to the team. How about Guddy for Marner straight across? A guy can dream right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmy Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 17 hours ago, VIC_CITY said: Size isn't everything. We saw what Rypien could do. Look at Guddy when he fought someone his own size last year in Matt Martin. Nothing about that fight screamed "deterrent". Lucic would tune Gudbranson up. Um it sure did prove as a detterent. I was at that game and Martin was dropped early and was lucky to survive. Martin is a tough guy but Guddy earned his respect and you won't see him go after a Stecher or a Boeser again. Tough guys like them have a code. I can say without hesitation there are few players that want to tangle with Guddy. Maybe a young Lucic would have beat him but not the Lucic of today. It's a toss up in my opinion. And to add Rypien was a god amongst men out there. By far the toughest most skilled fighter I've seen.

It' I believe Martin commended Guddy after the fight, so clearly the fight left an impression. And if Lucic was going to fight Guddy he would have after that hit Gudbranson laid on him that threw him to the ice. Milan isn't one to usually let other players get the best of him.

You are correct and I'm sure Guddy respects him now as well. He usually fights for a reason and when he does the message is sent loud and clear. Of course there will be a few meatheads like Tom Wilson who just attack him for no other reason but that usually doesn't end well for them as we saw earlier in the season. As far as tough guys go he's 100% top 5 in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as tough guys go he's 100% top 5 in the league. Without a doubt. He's been somewhat underwhelming lately, which is concerning, but as far as being an imposing figure, he is one of the few that most players won't readily tangle with.

People getting run is slowly leaving the game. If you think Reaves (Or Guddy for that matter) is preventing or "scaring" anyone from taking runs at other players then you are clearly stuck in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
