yup:

 

that is some of the most simplistic, useless excuse for 'analytics' anyone could possibly offer.

 

When you face the strongest quality of competition on your blueline, and you have the highest defensive zone starts on your blueline - cherrypicking corsi/'shot suppression' - taken out of context - is utterly meaningless.

 

And LOL - I love the stat-geek attempts to dress up over-simplified drivel with terminology like 'shot suppression'.   

 

Shutdown players are the worst "shot suppression" players in the NHLULLLLZZZZZ!!!!!

Offense isn't Gudbranson's game. That's fine. Sometimes you need better defence to win games.

When you have the 2nd worst offense in the league, ya man you kinda do need to score some times to win

The boards are so fun.

 

Everyone hates watching our small forwards getting pushed around.

 

I like Jared McCann, but Benning deals him - a 179lb 24th, and a 33rd overall, for a 3rd overall,  6'5",  top 4, right handed 24 year old beast who is still improving and a years away from his prime - and these boards have their typical hissy fit.

 

Gudbranson is one hell of a hard minutes, hard hitting, outstanding defensive blueliner.

 

This is what it costs to move up to this kind of asset.

exactly this, i'm remembering burn's taking out sedin against the boards with a slightly late hit, the pacific div, is to big ,fast to have small fwd's soft D

Wait you mean we have a dman that will actually hit and clear people from the crease preventing other teams from running our goalie? Gimme a break people.. Calling gudbranson a bust before even watching a single game he plays.. McCann was never going to succeed here. He's too small to survive in the league.. He spent the entire season bulking up and didn't really achieve much. 2nd round pick.. Sure it's a high 2nd round.. But we are most likely picking a dman there anyways.. And God knows if he will even end up in the nhl.. It's a gamble and odds are it won't be a crease clearing defenseman. 

 

By the looks of some of the replies regarding gudbranson it sounded like cdc is trying to run the kid out of town before he even arrives lol classic

McCann was overrated around here.  I like this trade, finally a hardnosed top 4 defenceman

Couldn't agree more. I'm excited to see Gudbranson play. Exactly what the Canucks need right now. A young big minutes defenseman that can help our weak D core. Well done Benning!

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  traded a former 3rd overall defensive pick for an absolute ransom

Talon is not the GM of Florida anymore

Tom Rowe is

Why don't you provide evidence to suggest he is a good defender instead of just slamming evidence that proves he isn't?

Oh man, if you think that was slamming then you need to step away from the computer.

Flames paid 1st, 2x 2nd for Dougie Hamilton. We gave up 1st (McCann), 2nd and swap 4/5th picks? I like our deal way more. Welcome aboard Gudbranson.

I just have to remind myself that the Flames paid THAT price to get a D that was 9th overall in his draft year. Gudbranson was 3rd overall his year for a reason.

Yea, they're really relying on Hutton to take another big leap offensively and for Edler to regain his form.

 

If we don't have offense from the back end we're not going to be a playoff team.

How do you explain the fact that Cambell increased his Corsi for from 47% to 52% away from Gudbranson?

Gudbranson is a solid dman just don't expect him to be pronger. McCann needs to bulk up which is harder said then done. Also seeing tsn saying it's this drafts 2nd round pick. 

I beg to differ... (As stated though without the offence of Pronger)

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.

 

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 than senselessly annoyed that he isn't doing well. 

My buddy and I have been saying it for years now

 

If in the first 2 rounds a London Knights forward is available or a Rockets defenseman at your draft position you take them.

 

London churns out quality forwards and Kelowna quality D men like no other junior club can
