McCann and Pedan in the locker room awkwaaaaard!!! Reminds me how cool it would have been if Florida didn't trade Tim Thomas to the Stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a very classy thing to do IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastal.view Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 i honestly do not understand the need after a trade to disparage one of the components of that deal mccann is a quality player with significant potential upside there was nothing evident this season to suggest that his personality interfered with his on ice production he is very young and was thrust into a situation perhaps a bit too early . . but.. . he earned his spot in training camp that he was not able to sustain his play during the season just speaks to his youth and likely his physical immaturity by all accounts he will have a decent nhl career what is really important is that the canucks needed a high potential r dman this offseason a trade works.. as would a draft pick have worked to get the 5th overall pick that we can use for a forward draft and obtain a high value, previous 3rd overall, r handed dman is an excellent outcome this off season that is actually better than i could have imagined i am very excited by this trade and how it fills a significant need on the team and i really like the fact that both luongo and mitchell were upset by this deal and we obtained that by trading a centre, a position where we now have depth, so the overall team strength has increased and we can still add another high value forward good job benning and the team brass now if hamhuis can be resigned as a mentor, perhaps sbisa be moved on, and one significant free agent winger signing and i like the canucks prospects to make the playoffs next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gudbrandson is a valued and respected teammate. Benning knew that acquiring Erik would ruffle some feathers, mainly stats loving feathers. He also knew that this team needed a player with significant pushback and size on the back end who has mobility. A player that would be engaged and vested with his team right away. A leader. Sadly McCann had to go the other way, but that's what the butthurt Benning haters don't get. It takes something to get something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got themselves a tweener, you also consider Craig Button, Nick Kypreo's, Bill Watters, Pierre McGuires response, they all thought it was a lop sided in favor of VAncouver. these Canucks hating hacks over at the troll land, (hfboards.com) think its lop sided in Favor of Florida when asked what is the Value of the 33rd pick and Jared McCann the offer is way less then Gudbranson. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a guess... Good post. I talked to JV last weekend and asked him about losing McCann and he implied that they were friends. We traded McCann cause he was worth something and Benning wanted The big Dman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
