Gudbranson is a terrible defender right now. Do I need to post his hero chart? It is so bad. He was a terrible possession player on an elite florida team.

You can do as you please.

Nice shiny chart, he's a shutdown D with well over 60% D zone charts and no PP time. Try again, would you rather have signed Brian Campbell?

Just like to again point something out.

 

The same GM that traded high on this former 3rd overall defensive pick

Is now trading high on this former 3rd overall defensive pick

I won't even bother pointing out how our history of trades with the Panthers has worked out for this club.

 

But I will point out that the architect of arguably 2 of the Blackhawks most recent cup wins and the turn around of the formerly woeful Panthers just again traded a former 3rd overall defensive pick for an absolute ransom

Fleeced again Jim benning is the worst gm working in the game. What total idiot. Can't wait for next summer when he gets fired and the Canucks get some one with a clue. Great we get that prized 5/6 d-man we so desperately need.lol. F'n disaster ever since he got here ,horrible trade after horrible trade bad contracts inability to move ufa's. The definition of useless has a picture of benning funny thing so does the definition of fleeced. What a mess. 

 

Cue  the benning fanboys saying how McCann wasn't that good (now) and how grub is a top d-man oh and its a great trade. Lol. 

 

 

You took the words right out of my mouth, but the one good thing about benning is he's a great scout. I would hope he gets demoted to head scout and we get a gm that knows what they're doing. Gud isn't a top four defenceman, he's maybe a 4, but realistically a 5 or 6 guy. McCann on the other hand had top 6 potential and in my opinion he would have flourished into a top line player for us. Plus we gave away our second which could have got us clague or debrincat. Or maybe even someone who slipped into the second round but was meant for the first round.

 

What benning needs to realize, is that we shouldn't Have tried to be competitive next year. If we were to have done bad next year we could have ended up with Nolan Patrick, someone who could have been our first line centre and would have been rated 3rd or 4th in this years draft, as well as Dubois or tkachuk to be on the left wing with boeser on the right. We could have been competitive the following year!!!!

 

the only thing that might make me happy is if the Canucks now sign Stamkos in the off season. Then we would have our top line centre as well as a competitive team. I don't completely hate gud, but I think the trade was a unfair for us. I hope benning makes more trades however to grab drouin for us. We need a drouin type player as our left wings suck after Daniel and bae. Hopefully it doesn't cost us horvat tho. He seems like he can be a 60 pt player one day.

He's gonna face alot more shots too if Gudbranson can't drive offense.

At least he'll see the darn shots because EG is actually capable of clearing the front of the net.

It's pretty much McCann and a 2nd (33rd overall pick) for Gudbranson. The 4th and 5th round picks are a wash, but I still think Benning will find a good prospect with the later pick.

 

Excellent trade. Fills a need now and for the future. Our defense looks extremely solid. Just need a left-handed offensive defenseman and we're gold for the next decade. 

 

Hutton - Gudbranson

Tryamkin - Tanev

________ - Stecher

Provide me with evidence to suggest that he is anything more than a bottom pairing defender.


And lol, you do know Gudbranson's numbers got worse away from Campbell right?

I watched Johansen all these last 2 seasons.  He just slipped through our hands the exact same way that the last 10 years of post 1st round pick potential Kelowna Rocket Defensemen have,

 

Care to see that list?


Weber, Keith, Severson, Bowey, Barrie, Cumiskey

 

Yup.

 

Just think of that defense right now.  And think of the years the Canucks did not have 2nd and 3rd round picks in which to draft them.

 

Saying it now, we're going to regret not keeping that pick if ti IS a 2016 2nd round and we're going to regret not having another local boy in Lucas Johansen RHD point getting defensively responsible player...

 

Ya

I know the Rockets pop out defenseman like candy during Halloween. Edler was a Rocket.

 

It might not matter if Johansen is picked before the 33rd pick. Under our circumstances, losing McCann and 33rd still hurt though.

If Larsen's upside is Weber, why the hell did we bring him in?

Never said his upside is Weber, just that those should be our expectations. KHL defenseman coming over, we probably shouldn't think he will light this league. Rather be pleasantly surprised if he does well than senselessly annoyed if he isn't doing well.
