PhillipBlunt Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Wow, the short-sightedness on the board right now is funny. That is just the beginning. This is part of a larger picture, like the Minister said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubuya Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Gillis is a moron. We're dealing with the consequences of the zillion NTC's he gave out. No leverage on the Kesler deal. What a crappy return. This statement is so far from the status quo of the average CDC post a few years ago. MG was a god who was changing our team culture from the inside out and creating an environment where people wanted to play and had to take a discount to be... How things change...

TOMapleLaughs Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Honestly don't think this is a bad trade. I think a lot of people overrate Kesler. Two decent roster players and another first round pick to play with. Probably the best we could get for Kesler. This will have to be the sell by this franchise. But it doesn't matter. People here aren't dumb. Hopefully the real sell will be the tank job we're going to be doing this season for some franchise-level picks. If not, well, frack it.

ocnucksfan Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 We just traded Kesler for basically nothing FML. bonino alone produced more than kes last season. and way more in the assists column. not to mention his +/- is better. bonino is 3 years younger too. this is by no means a bad trade. kesler is a selfish player and bonino has displayed great ability to play with his team mates.

Trebreh Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Everyone calm the f down lol I think Bonino will surprise a lot of people and Sbisa is a big physical defenceman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stick-in-Rink Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Urghhhhhhh this is a frustrating trade.. especially with all the rumours we were hearing. We needed to get some high end talent for Kesler and we could've even manage to get the 10th or Etem..... God, hopefully Benning pulls some better moves to alleviate this trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senpai Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Bonino is a FANTASTIC player. Benning knows more about hockey than all of us combined, and I sure as hell trust his judgement.Sbisa also looks as if he had a rough year, but keep in mind, this kid was traded for Pronger.. There must be something there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Those who dont think this is a good deal are not quite understanding who they got, and only narrowmindly focusing on Etem and the 10th overall pick Bonino played as a third line player averaged almost 50 points this season playing beside Saku Koivu and Jakub Silfverberg. Marked as a good two way/playmaker center who is also sizable. Sbisa still very young is a solid stay at home dman with edge, which we do not have the 24th is still avery good pick which I feel is going to swapped for something. This is a good value deal. Both play a good game and I am happy with this deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 If Sbisa replaces Garrison, a tonne of cap space will have been freed up by this deal. Its not some sexy deal, but its the deal that was done. I'll trust a pro scout in Benning and his assessment of Bonino and Sbisa than the people in this thread. Would you give up Horvat, Hansen, and the 6th for ROR? That's basically what you are saying when you propose Etem, 10th, and roster player for Kesler.

RogerEpic5 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I was hoping for FREAKING 10TH and ETEM ATLEAST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Face Doom Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 People, Kesler is a good player, but he won't net a roster player, a TOP prospect, and a high 1st rounder. Let's be realistic please.... YES SIR. Realist. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everybody Hates Raymond Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Bonino had a better season this year than Kesler has had in the last 3 years. We got the better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00kies Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 A bet you Ottawa will get a better return for Spezza. I would rather have the tenth or Etem than this package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helps that Bonino had more points than Kesler last year though. Also younger and cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derp... Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 People are disappointed we didn't get more prospects.. Hello? This is a fantastic deal! Nick Bonino was the third leading scorer for the ducks... Sbisa is good and will get better 24th is a great pick this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
