Jiggs50 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I wasn't sad as much as I was shocked when I saw the Hodgson trade. Luongo trade kinda made me sad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamJamIam Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hodgson trade Luongo trade Schneider trade Kesler trade Pretty much every trade in the last couple years Mike Gillis made was complete utter failure These made me sad too. Not because of the trades themselves, which I actually thought were fair, but because every time a piece got moved, the fans turned into whining children. Fans of players =/= fans of teams.

falcon45ca Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Too many to count...I'm a '94 boy, so obviously seeing that team slowly disappear kinda stung...recently? Lou. I knew he was leaving, but it's kinda like losing a dying relative...you know they're on their way out, but it still sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Really only the Roberto Luongo trade. And I wouldn't even really say I was sad. The Lack trade is close, but I am more frustrated we kept Miller to be homest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baka Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 These make me sad simply by looking back at the values.... - Patrick Sharp and Eric Meloche for Matt Ellison - JVR for Luke Schenn - Sergei Bobrovsky for a 2nd, 4th, and 4th - 1st round pick (traded during the draft while on the clock) for Steve Eminger. Eminger was a RFA who was a healthy scratch many times during the season that the Capitals were unlikely to bring back. The drafted player was John Carlson. - Justin Williams for Danny Markov - Josh Gratton, 2nd round pick, and another 2nd round pick for Denis Gauthier - Dennis Seidenberg and a 4th for Petr Nedved (at the end of his career) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC20.0 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 The Schneider trade made me very sad. I loved Cory, and he was going to be our elite goalie one day. I love Horvat, but that trade still really stings. Trading Mikeal Samuelsson too. He was one of my favourite Canucks when he was here. This one isn't a trade, but letting Willie Mitchell walk. Still one of my favourite defenseman, it was him who really made me realize how hard defensive players worked. He worked harder then anybody. He was the first player I wanted and got customized on my jersey. It made me really upset when LA got him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 There are a few but, looking back in hindsight, they had to happen (at least most of them). What being a Lions'/Wally Buono fan has taught me is that loyalty should be toward the team first...players understand that when they sign on. When they traded Geroy to the Riders, a piece of my heart broke off. When Trevor was traded, I was crushed. That one will never make sense to me...but his return was sweet. Some that come to mind (not all "trades" but disposing of players in not re-signing them also counts for me): Sami, Ohly, Jovo, Gelinas, Bert (but that had to happen for all parties involved...I get that), Bieksa. Never easy when my favourites, tried and true, get moved. But if they do well through that and the shuffling infuses some energy in through the change, then so be it. I tend to follow them as they do move on and stay supportive....unless they match up against us. But trades are the tough part for me...I always find myself holding my breath as deadlines loom. I've learned to accept that change is part of it and my loyalties are different than that of the business organization. It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Cam Neely Because of the crap return AND we gave up a 1st round pick. You thought the Kassian trade was bad? Bah! Trevor Linden Great return, but it ripped out the heart and soul of the team. Not being able to hold onto Larionov and Mitchell hurt too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney Crosby. Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Bobby Luo was a tough one for me to swallow. Not the fact we lost two solid starting goalies within a year for, at the time, a 3rd liner, an AHL goalie, and a prospect, but rather what Luongo did for us over the years. Took an average team and took them to become an elite team, and eventually a Stanley Cup game 7 final. Seemed like a great person off the ice too, learning how to be a star player in a market that easily placed blame on him. Still seems weird not hearing Jim Hughson's "Grrrrreat save Luongo!"

Mathew Barzal Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Luongo. That entire season was a nightmare for me, the Winter Classic to top it off was sacrilege. The best goaltender in franchise history treated like dirt. By the fans. By the management. By the coach. His jersey is the only one I own to date and will remain the only one I own for the forseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Building Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Losing Schneider for just a #9 pick stung a little at the time, but Horvat has won me over so far. That kid will be an assistant captain one day, at least. Plus, we never really seem to be short of good goalie prospects. I'm okay with having a free Ryan Miller while Markstrom et all come up in the ranks with a Horvat in front of them. Luongo. That entire season was a nightmare for me, the Winter Classic to top it off was sacrilege. The best goaltender in franchise history treated like dirt. By the fans. By the management. By the coach. His jersey is the only one I own to date and will remain the only one I own for the forseeable future. You mean the "Close the Roof it's Raining in March Cotton Ball Classic? I couldn't believe he sat that game. He got a lot of praise, and was dished a lot of dirt while he was here, but overall he meant a lot to this organization. His being here helped set us in the direction we're going now, one which I see as a rebuilding upswing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
