It wasn't at the time when you consider that Barry Petterson was a high scoring Center and Glen Wesley (3rd overall pick in '87) turned out to be a very good dman. On paper, it looked like a really good trade. BPs health was questionable, but he had put up good #s the season after his surgery. Trading Wesley for crap was really bad. In the end, it was really bad luck with BPs health and an uniformed decision not to keep Wesley. You seem to be saying that we received Wesley ? Just for the record, we didn't specifically trade Neely. The final result, was that Boston chose Neely. The deal was lined up to RFA signing penalties of the day. The rules were that Canucks would have to give BB a 1st round pick plus a player ( chosen by Boston ) off our roster. Certain rookies were exempt, plus the Canucks could protect 4 players. We had players like Gradin, Smyl, Sundstrom, Tanti, Skriko, Lidster, Lanz, Daigneault etc.. Don't know who we protected, but things didn't work out very well for us. ( no-one expected the draft pick to be that high either ! ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was an OK trade at the time too but Barry Peterson was never quite the same after his surgery and it didn't seem like we gave Glen Wesely a fair chance to adjust. I may be wrong on the Wesely part as that was ages ago and my memory is not as good as it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wesley was drafted by Boston, with a pick that went to them along with Neely. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm told that size doesn't matter, but, 139 lbs seems just a tad fragile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like him, Zhukenov (sp) and Lockwood for our small fiesty prospects. I feel like they all have a chance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stierlitz Posted August 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2018 Good news is that Artem has an NHL-calibre coach in Bob Hartley. In his recent interview on Aug 23, Bob was asked about the new center Denis Zernov and said: "I can say about Zernov the same as about Manukyan - he has right attitude, work very hard. This is pleasure to work with him." And Artem seems to like his new coach. After the latest Avangard win 4-0 against Jokerit (Finland) Manukyan said: "Different season preparation? Sure, each coach has his own specific requirements, different exercises. This season we have completely different training both on and off the ice. And results are different. We won three last games with zero goals against, I think this is because of our new tactic - five players in offence, five players in defence helping goalie, and our goalie plays pretty good, we are happy for him..." 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
