cuporbust Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Brutal. Thought this was ours. Benning not lookin here. Makes him look bad. Can't believe he didn't get this done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRypien37 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I've always wanted him here, would be a great fit. Inconsistent, but having Kassian and him in the top 6 would give us a chance against the California teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonMexico Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 One would think 'Nucks were trying to do this trade as well... I'm glad they weren't able to acquire a bum like Stewart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Who's left on the Sabre's roster? literally no one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 What the hell, we could have easily topped this with a second and a prospect Why would we want him though? I'd take any of Kass, Vrbata or Burr over Stewart (Hansen's been solid on the 4th line and doubt we'd get Vey without giving him the chance to develop) so it's not like we'd have room for him here, plus we should still be building, even if the cost was only a 2017 2nd rounder.

canucklehead44 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 What a steal. Scored at around a 25 goal / season his last two years in St. Louis. For what it is worth, he was also 3rd in goals and 4th in points for Buffalo. The type of player who can cause a lot of damage in the playoffs if he shows up.

Down by the River Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Anyone know how to reach Tim Murray? Time to put my CV together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanIsleCanucks Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 In a couple of years it will be nice to have that pick...Chris Stewart wasn't going to put us over any edges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreFan1 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Murray waited too long and said no to too many people. It just bit him in the butt. I do have to laugh at the 2017 date though. Too bad the 'Nucks didn't get in on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiggs50 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 So boston gave up two seconds for Connoloy, but wouldn't give up one for Stewart? Kinda oddConnolly is younger and under control for longer. Stewart has a 4 mill cap hit too I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabreFan1 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 He by no means would put Vancouver over the top this year, but it would have been interesting and fun to see him play. That being said, the Wild are in "win now" mode and the Canucks are in "re-tool for the future" mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeburn Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 If he shows up is the problem. I also find him very over rated by some on here too. Build from within>Trading for Stewart You got that straight. It's been painful watching Stewart being showcased. There's a reason he's the league leading +/- and give-away king of Buffalo. His streaky offense is only less notable compared to his not-so-streaky dismal defense. Just painful to watch this guy, agony to listen to ppl talk him up. It's as if ppl don't realize - Stewart has 6 ES goals for the season playing mainly in the top 6 and during this showcasing given every possible offensive opportunity. For context - Hodgson has 4 ES goals playing on the 5th line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeburn Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 still think Hodgson is as good as Kesler? Nope. Still think he's different. Still think he's more of Henrik's style/talent. Still think he's got room to grow into it. And after this dog house beating year, I'm also more confident that he's quite capable of further developing his physical and defensive game. And bonus - how he has endured this dismal year has showcased his solid character. What was the GM's assessment of him last week.... oh yeah "good solider".
