Florida comes to mind Weakes Duco Krajicek Booth Ballard Oreskovich On the flip side tbough, we did get Lu, Jovocop and Higgins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracksuit Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 This looking like Bennings best trade so far. an effective nhl top 6 for a guy that looks like a career Ahler and no throw in draft picks or prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Hansen for goldi + 4th round pick I suspect I'll be in the minority. I really believe Gudbrandson brings something near impossible to get to our team. We needed someone to clear the crease. It makes up for him not being a wizard with the puck. He is, however, fast enough to keep up with the pace we will want to push, even if he wont push the puck himself. Keep up with fast players defensively in match ups. A couple things Erik brings are important. Including character & leadership. I like when he played with his shoulder injury. Even though he was a pending free agent. De Haan on the Island packed up shop to protect himself with a similar injury. Then left town. Where Guddy was rewarded for playing hurt by a contract offer. Which he accepted. It was not as big a ''steal,'' as McCann is an NHL player that we gave up versus Shinkaruk. And Leivo will be a steal as well. But Guddy, then Sutter offer the most to the team in value. What we need from them that we get, here on our roster? Sutter might be first if he was not so struck by injury. From players acquired by trade. Guddy is a more important player to us than Leivo. So I like that trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I like that trade. While I agree that Guddy brings value to our team. I don’t think that constitutes the deal as a good or the best trade. For example Adam Larsson filled a much needed role to the oilers and they value him a ton, but no one in their right mind today would call that trade a good value trade. I think what would constitute as a GM’s best trade (at least in my opinion) is being able to move an asset and make significant gains on the original investment. Which is why anytime anyone ever asks what’s the best trade in Vancouver history, the first thing that comes to fans minds is Naslund for stojanov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind his best trade. But I do get your point. its valid. Yes Granlund was the most clear sided win. Leivo will be close. I even like Granlund, a very serviceable player. But if I could only do one, not the others? Even with the benefit of hindsight... I place Gudrandson on our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRocket18 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Liking this addition and his effort to get off the ice after his shift, safe smart plays hope it keeps up. Another shot never hurts... and it can come from outta nowhere and be facing a 3rd pairing D with our shooting depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They asked Sparks who has the hardest shot to stop at practice. He said Leivo. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I like that trade. I love that gudbranson is on this team. Even last game against the avs, when the avs started pushing and started creating havoc in the crease to try throwing off Markstrom, guddy is the only real deterrent we had. He would probably be one of the best 5th d-men in the league and can fill in on the top 4 without the team missing a beat. Add to that his size and ability to fight, along with his leadership, is take him over mcaan any day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tower102 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 The Burrows for Dahlen trade could be a candidate as well. Can't put it as a clear win until Dahlen makes the NHL but if he becomes a serviceable top 6 winger and finds magic with Petey then it would be up there for sure.

His numbers vs his TOI in Toronto always showed he was possibly more than they were seeing from him.
