HowYaDrouin Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Yeah Bartkowski is essentially Boston's Stanton, I would hope Kass has more value than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gross-Misconduct Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 *ahem* I'll wait to see what unfolds before I make any comments regarding the Kassian one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimp C Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Yeah Bartkowski is essentially Boston's Stanton, I would hope Kass has more value than that. Benning is an idiot, he doesn't know how to make trades. He's literally lost every trade he's made so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowYaDrouin Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Benning is an idiot, he doesn't know how to make trades. He's literally lost every trade he's made so far. I'll reserve my judgement on Jim until I see a larger body of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me_ Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I don't think Kassian has much value on the trade market, but it has to more than this. Jordan Caron: drafted 1/25 (2009) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcakes Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Pimp C.....you sound like you think that you know something. And you are basing this declaration on what? Because nobody on this thread besides you claim to know anything about this possible trade other than as advertised, it doesn't look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuckster1970 Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hot Topic, WOW! Yesterday somewhere on CDC, (I think it was the video of a day with TL, or it might have been in the Province), it was stated that both Benning and TL are on the road, but not with the team, each going different ways in the East to scout teams. They are really looking at something here and given that Benning knows every player in the Bruins system, they make for a good dance partner.

rotiman187 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Kassian over his career with the canucks has shown flashes of brilliance, but soon disappears for long periods of time. The guy is 6'3 over 200lbs and you rarely see him get a big hit or get involved in any physical activities. I would be willing to move him if the right pieces were coming our way.

oldnews Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Bartkowski is a fringe NHLer, tops. Not much upside there. Caron is a future grinder with limited offensive potential. Kassian is an all-star compared to either of these players. And that's the Kassian of today. I certainly hope this isn't the return we're looking at getting. Gross mismanagement. Gross naivete. I'd think that someone who postures as much authority as you do, and have been here as long as you have would have an idea who these pretender 'sources' are, how comical these rumour mills can get, and how much over-reaction they incite among the gullible feeders (which you appear to be one of).

bohonos76 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Kassian for Forsberg.... make it happen.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 God no. God no. I'd do this Kassian, Higgins, gaunce for looch. That's it. No lucic back then no deal. Size for size. We play in the pacific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiffyPB Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Benning is an idiot, he doesn't know how to make trades. He's literally lost every trade he's made so far. Vey for McKeown (dud). Dorsett for a 3rd. Would you rather have McKeown and a crapshoot pick or those guys? Pretty sure the guy can make trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bohonos76 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Or Kassian for Seguin !!! Seeing as he's already traded one already... might as well swap him back in the fold... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakyWalton Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Jordan Caron: drafted 1/25 (2009) Jordan Schroeder drafted 1/22 (2009),,just sayin...Caron has no offensive upside..but he was a Benning pick so this rumour is probably true.

HerrDrFunk Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm having a very hard time believing Benning is stupid enough to make that trade. We could have picked up better players off waivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyM Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 If you were GM of a team, would you give up a top prospect, a top D-man, or a top six forward for Kassian? We are going to be sorely disappointed with what's coming back. His value would not be high right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimp C Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Pimp C.....you sound like you think that you know something. And you are basing this declaration on what? Because nobody on this thread besides you claim to know anything about this possible trade other than as advertised, it doesn't look good. I'm basing it off the fact that Benning has lost every trade he's made so far, and the fact that if Benning trades Kassian right now, he would be doing it while Kassian is at his lowest value. Vey for McKeown (dud). Dorsett for a 3rd. Would you rather have McKeown and a crapshoot pick or those guys? Pretty sure the guy can make trades. Kesler for a below average 2nd line center, a cap dump and McCann. Garrison for a 2nd. 3rd rounder for an ECHL/AHL defensemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks Curse Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm now use to us losing trades: Lost: Kesler trade Schneider trade Luongo trade Garrison trade? Erhoff trade to NYI And at the time, we lost the Hodgson trade So while I hope to hell the Kassian for Bartowski and Caron rumour is false, my gut says it's true and this shows how dumb Benning is if he does this and that he can't evaluate talent at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
