King Heffy Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 1 minute ago, Benchsplinters said: All the negativity every time Benning make a trade is very perplexing. We get a 3rd overall draft pick with 6 years of development under his belt for a 22nd over all player who is still finding his way in the NHL Yes, we gave up a two picks to make he deal but I bet another deal will go down where we recover those picks. All this panic and mayhem from the masses is just a bit premature and really a bit immature. I can see a lot of GM talent coming to the forefront from those who know little, if anything about being a GM ya right. The problem is Benning continues to give away draft picks when we need to go into full rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was going to spend next year in Utica and if he didn't have a great year he'd be worth a bag of peanuts by the end of the year. Like everyone else has said, giving up the 2nd sucks but what can you do? I bet Miller and Markstrom like this trade. We have Gudbranson and Tryamkin, forwards are going to think twice about crashing the net. How the hell do you figure that he was expendable? This team is starved for offense and quality C prospects. He could of been expendable had we won Matthews, sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drafting him only makes this trade worse. 3, Vey and Granlund are marginal NHLers at best. 4. Are any of them sober? 5. This is a good thing, no argument. 6. Leaving us with no leadership on the back end. 7. Couldn't we have given something else, like Granlund or something? Adding a 2nd via trade is likely going to be a lot later than our own. Haters will be haters. Yep, you're one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Trading McCann is understandable but this year's 2nd which is basically is low 1st? Also looking at Gudbarnson's point production and he looks like another Luca Sbisa. The team should have just kept Corrado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AriGold Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Last 4 33rd overall picks.. Which of these did you guys want ? 2015; Mitchell Stevens 2014: Ivan Barbashev 2013: Adam Erne 2012: Sebastian Collberg That pick isn't that good.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western Red Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Tired of reading the negativity and I'm still 50 posts behind. I'm so incredibly excited, being a fan of Gudbranson and fawning over him these years. In my mind, we gave up nothing of immediate impact and showed the Sedins we are going to go all out to help them hoist that CUP. (That alone is worth McCann) (Giving up the 2nd was a calculated move and I trust Jim in these matters) (I'm excited for beer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he will be fine but it doesn't change the fact that we paid too much. Benning pays fair value. Gillis didn't. Benning works as a GM. Gillis doesn't.

kingjatt Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 7 minutes ago, Lost_Viking said: Loving this trade. We really needed someone solid to pair up with Hutton. It's great how Benning knows enough about scouting to know that 95% of draft picks end up busting, always amazes me how few in the league seem to understand this point. We have the 5th overall, you don't trade that pick, but any other pick is about as valuable as a bag of pucks. As much as it hurts intrinsically to give up one of the higher picks we've had in years (I think this is why people are mad; If it's 43 not 33 then no one bats an eye) this is very much true. The value of that pick is far from any guaranteed NHL roster player, let alone someone foundational. This helps bring stability to Hutton or Edler as well and will help the team in the short and long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Moody Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Simply enough if the Canucks trade Hamhuis at the deadline for a 2nd at least, this trade is fine. But it the worst part is we're gonna let hammer walk in FA for nothing and give up this many assets to replace him sickening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Again, I can see what this does for this team But for a Canucks team that barely TIED the Oilers blue line for worst offense in the entire league, how is bringing in a guy who scores literally a point, a single point every 9.3 games helping us?

FrankieCorrado Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I feel like people are judging him based on his stats right now. No he's not Shea Weber nor will he ever be, but Gudbransen brings so much more than stats, super excited to have him on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergioMomesso Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 If someone would have told me three years ago Kesler and a couple of draft picks would have fetched us Gudbranson, Sutter and Sbisa. I would have punched myself right in the face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
