Now that is a QUALITY future young core coming in. Now lets just get some D...

I agree, could be moving players for D prospects. Dougherty from nashville is on interest and they may like vrbata?

Good they got something for Jensen since he was never going to get a fair chance in Vancouver. That said etem is yet another third/fourth liner to go with the Dozen this club already has. Except now we have another NHL contract and still no depth at d or any position other than 4th liners. Awsome. 

Or you could take this to be a hint that some of the older guys are going to be moving out and we need bodies to replace them that may have some upside.

He did, problem is he was never going to get that chance again in Vancouver.

Etem is a bottom 6 guy at best, thats all I expect out of him if he busts oh well we tried, if he excels great

Not sure if you're serious or from the future, but Etem scored 61 goals in 65 games in his final year in the Dub (45 the year before), and has been a ppg player in the AHL at age 21 and 22.  There is plenty of potential upside there.

Three half seasons in the NHL before the age of 23, wadr, are not going to seal this young man's fate as a "bottom 6 at best."

has etem already gone through waivers or will he be playing on the canucks right away?

Etem is no longer waiver-exempt and apparently has not clear waivers yet this year. See http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/931451

That is why the Rangers traded him even though he appears to be a better prospect than Jensen.

I guess the Canucks thought they had room for him on the roster and will give him a chance to see what he can do. This has to increase the chances that Jake goes back to Junior. Once Hansen and Sutter are healthy there will be kind of a log jam on the roster. Vey will go back to Utica when Sutter comes back, but someone else will need to go as well.

Meh, do one of those for Arizona and that is exciting. Pujaarvi, Laine, Chychrun or Matthews will help.
