so he hates left handed dudes? why the hell did he draft Pettersson and Podkolzin for.  what a bust of a gm. 

Jim's funny that way.

 

Actually watching Cooper run 7 d this playoff made me think that would have been one way to keep Gudbranson here, if he was playing 10 minutes per night like Luke Schenn. Not for 4 mil tho.

The Gudbranson ship has sailed. His style of play doesn't match the team's style of play. He is a much better fit for a team that plays the structure neutral zone trap. Gudbranson also doesn't seem like a guy who can handle the big Canadian market where there are a lot pressure and media attention. There is no secret why he is much better player when he was in Florida and now Anaheim.

oh for sure. I just thought it was interesting how Cooper uses a guy thats been seen as a liability defensively, but is an asset physically, in a 7 d system.

Wild that he once had 60 pts in a season

 

Don't see him as a current fit with the Canucks

Even more wild is that Stan Bowman didn't cash in on him after that one great season, especially knowing the guy has serious defensive liabilities and the Hawks weren't going to be able to keep him.  Not one of Stan's better plays.

don't blame the guy? more I like don't blame the Ducks.  even a bad team doesn't want him it speaks for itself how bad Gudbranson has become over the past 3 years.

what the &^@# does Myers have to do with Gudbranson for crying out loud. 

the ironing is delicious.

 

What the #@$! does Gudbranson have to do with Gustafsson and the Flames for crying out loud?

 

 

and btw your smarmyesque one-liner take on Gudbranson aint all that, either.
