Kanuck_Krazy Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Keep in mind, if we can get anything of value for Gudbransson I am fully in support of it. Picks or prospects would be great. The rumours I am hearing is Gudbransson is not high on anyone's list and the return will be so low it might not be worth it. Here's what i propose if that is the case. Swap him for Jack Johnson. Torts loves that tough nosed defenceman and Johnson has already requested a trade. He is not the answer the Canucks are looking for but it would give us a different look on d. He is more offence minded and on a squad that ranks so low on points by defence he is needed. He has played that power play role before and although he isn't what he used to be he is still better then Guddy. He can play the style we are trying to change to better then Erik. Once again I am hoping we could trade Guddy for picks and or prospects but if not this may be the next best thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Goose Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Johnson is a UFA after this season as well- I dont really see the point of going after him. He most likely wants to go to free agency just like Gudbranson, and at 31 the Canucks definitely dont need another risky long contract on the books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 A bit too old for my liking. If he was the same age as Gudbranson, I'd be down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM_ Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Not sure this solves anything, or if JJ is really a guy we'd look to sign as a free agent.... I also don't believe the non-interest rumours coming out of Toronto mostly. Same "reporters" are writing stories about how Lou is happy to go into the playoffs with his teams D the way it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I would rather have Jack Johnson over Gudbranson but he is a soon to be UFA. If we trade Gudbranson I’d like it to be for picks or prospects and then just take a run at JJ in free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloubek Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 No point. We do need better defensemen, but we need young and up-and-coming defensemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Would sooner get picks for Guds. Sign JJ in off season. If I had to choose. If we can get Guds for 4 per or less I'd rather him than JJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Makes 0 sense: 1. JJ is 5 years old than Guddy 2. JJ is also a pending UFA 3. JJ is a LHD, were we have a ton of depth(not saying he isnt an upgrade on most of them) 4. We need a youngish RHD coming back or a prospect or pick type of deal if we end up moving Guddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 THis team is in middle of rebuild. We need picks and prospects or a player in early 20's. Not a pending UFA at 31 years old. There would be no points to this trade. Why not just keep Gudbranson. What purpose would this trade serve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about an Edler for Johnson swap? if we acquired lets say Johnson for Gudbranson we could then flip Edler. Who is the better D man for us ? Johnson or Edler? Would Johnson have more offensive flair then edler? would he work better with Tanev? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
