Prust has been mostly a disappointment so far. I think getting a 3rd or a 4th for him at the deadline is the best case scenario. Gives an opportunity for guys like Etem, Virtanen, and Grenier to earn their place. Prust has 7 points in 29 games. That projects to 20 points over a 82 game season. He only had one better season than that in his whole career. Cracknell projects at 19. Dorsett projects at 14. That's decent production from a 4th line. Virt at 17 Higgins at 10 Kenins at 0 Is more of a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also a +10 in turnover differential, with 13 takeaways and only 3 giveaways. Love the guy's shot, has pretty decent mobility and his two way game is not bad at all for a young player. Very happy to pick this guy up. In alot of way, a lot like Jensen. I was going through a few of his stats in the Etem Talk thread as well. Draws far more penalties than he takes (better than Raymond even), is useful on limited draws it seems (50% on the year so far) and his offence not translating yet from juniors/minors to the NHL may be related partly to bad bounces. There's lots to like for the price we paid. And for the record, I wouldn't say Jensen's washed up yet but it would seem he'd need a prime situation to find success. Maybe he finds it, but Etem is more likely to be effective and could still find that offensive ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roland Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I remember people armchairing crazy proposals for Etem. Like both of McCann pick+ prospect and a regular. So i'm can't complain about this trade especially since Jensen wasn't showing much potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbdoubleu Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Great trade. Etam can be a solid replacement for guys like Burrows or Highins. Jensen just wasn't getting better. Or harder to play against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Doctor Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I am very happy with this trade. Jensen looked so promising in the world junior tournament a few years ago but has not met expectations since then. Change for both players is great.

Derp... Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 So in 2011-12 Shinkaruk scored: 49G 42A Etem scored: 61G 46A Beartschi scored: 33G 61A Those 3 combined for 143G 149A!!!!! 292 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradsterrr Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 With this trade, could there be another one coming once Sutter and Hansen are healthy? Hopefully we get rid of Higgins or Prust at the deadline for some picks or prospects. Higgins doesn't fit in with this team anymore. I'd like to see Shink come up and be on a line with Emerson Etem. They had good chemistry back in Junior. What do you guys think? I'm sure Higgins time with the Canucks is done soon. Sven is starting to improve and showing what he's capable of doing. And now with Etem here he's going to have a fresh start and has some good potential. He has proven to score in the Junior level, and in AHL with 10+ goals in two seasons and 20+ in one season, he also has 15 goals in the NHL. What I also like about him is that in his pro career he's appeared in 23 NHL playoff games and has 8 points, so he has some playoff experience.

smokes Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Benning wanted this guy one way or the other. I remember Benning trying get this guy since the Kesler trade. Good we finally got him. The Canucks are getting heavier and heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I'm looking forward to seeing what he can bring. With our current forward line up, we have 14 and 2 more on the IR. Of this, only Vey is waiver ineligible, and that will change after the 10th game he plays. This is just speculation, but it appears the Canucks roster page was updated today, as it has Etem as #26 and Hansen on the IR. Gaunce oddly enough, is listed among our active forwards, while Vey is not. Take a look here: http://canucks.nhl.com/club/roster.htm I mention this being updated today, as they're clearly on top of it. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Gaunce came up, just to avoid Vey being waiver eligible again. Further to this is the forward situation, from which it appears McCann and Virtanen are to be rotated in, with Higgins and possibly Etem to be the guys to come out. If we're carrying this many forwards it shouldn't be for long, as Sutter and Hansen will be returning in the next month. At that point, are we selling the likes of Prust/Vrbata, or is management planning to waive Higgins or even return Virtanen back to junior? This is just the start of the movement.

saucypass Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Wow! Great trade, let's put Shinkaruk with Etem and see if they become a duo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksJay Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Post trade deadline... Sedin Sedin Hansen Shinkaruk Sutter Etem Baerstchi Horvat Burrows Gaunce McCann Grenier Virtanen Edler Tanev Sbisa Hutton Pedan Biega Weber Miller Markstrom Trade Vrbata, Higgins, Prust, Dorsett, Hamhuis, Barthowski This should keep things fresh and exciting. Games will be competitive yet on the losing end to help with the tank to finish the year. Hopefully the pieces up for trade can somehow garner at least one extra 1st rounder and 1 extra 2nd and a bunch of 3-5th rounders. Going into the draft, Early first round (van) Late first round (Vrbata/Hamhuis) Early 2nd (van) Early 2nd (Hamhuis/Vrbata) 3rd round (van) 3rd round (Higgins) 3rd round (Barthowski) 4th round (van) 4th round (prust/Dorsett ) 5th round (van) 5th round (prust/Dorsett) I've left out the Columbus compensation (2nd rounder) because Columbus will most likely push it to 2018 with the terrible season they are having. I also did not check whether we had all our picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember during his early press conferences he had stated he wanted more BC products, and to grab some Westerners. He then went on to draft Virtanen, acquire Vey, and trade for Baertschi/Etem. I like it! He keeps his word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
