oldnews Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 McCann is going to be a beauty. That's how it works folks. You give quality to get quality. I wish him the best. He's destined to be a winger there - with some bloody good centers to play with. I've always liked the Panthers. They're our Eastern Conference brother team. Luongo, Bure, Markstrom, Jovanovski, McCann, Gudbranson, Higgins.... These teams have sent some good players both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutal? I certainly would not say that. He looked like the most skilled player in our system (which is kind of sad, really), but at least we've got a Tkachuk or a Dubois coming. Yes, he's gone and we have Gudbranson now, but don't piss all over the kid for no reason. He showed some flashes of skill. Doesn't mean much yet (hence why he has doesn't have much value, and we had to add the 2nd). But provided he puts on some weight and finds some chemistry, he could very well be a good player for FLA. At least this trade makes more sense than the Shinkaruk trade, but there's absolutely no way Benning could have the same qualms about Jared that he had about Shink. Even though it's completely plausible that Shink ends up the better player, or that Jared never gets strong enough to play in the NHL, there is simply no way Benning can claim to know one way or other - it's WAY too early to make any claim about what kind of player McCann is. FLA has no idea what they're getting, and we have no idea what we just gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need dmen like him to go up against the McDavids of the division. McCann will be a heck of a player, but Gudbranson is worth it. Everybody who throws the odd bodycheck is called a beast these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gudbranson plays in a world where big guys still plaster small guys against the boards. Its not digital. Its a physical game. No doubt he has some limitations. We still need a team that can physically compete. Yea, tell the Kings that big D-men like Gudbranson don't win cups. Size and nastiness will always be an asset. It's been that way since the beginning of the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I'm done with this $*** until Benning is fired. He is a top four defenseman, what is the problem with that ? he plays top four minutes, plays a top four role, how is him not living up to " a potential " ? he is not an offensive dman. Is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RakuRaku Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Loving this trade! Good on JB to roll the dice! McCann though very talented was never gonna be our future #2 centre.... Gudbranson is basically a much younger, cheaper, much bigger & tougher + RH version of Hamhuis.... he still got upside and potential to get better!!! So bye bye and thank you to Hammer.. and looks like we'll draft Dubois and hope he can help this team after Henrik retires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EV604 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Gotta give something to get something. Sad to see McCann go but EG is exactly what we were looking for. All of a sudden our D ain't to shabby Elder - Tanev Hutton - Gudbranson Sbisa - Tryamkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxVerstappen33 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 2 minutes ago, Ossi Vaananen said: Apparently McCann bulked up a bit to around 194. That's from the 180 he started at. He could burn us, if he turns into a scorer - even then that's a few years down the road. Florida fans have a right to be mad. Gudbranson was playing 26+ mins a night in the playoffs, and they essentially traded him for prospects and picks. He's a young guy to begin with, so it's tricky to justify from Florida's end. The fact that Benning could pull this off, given that he's acquiring a young defenseman off of a successful team is all the more impressive. Quote One has to wonder..., Was Gudbranson even for sale ? Or did Benning just phone him ? If our pile of lottery tickets turn out anything like they usually do, then we stole Gudbranson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnarcore Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I watched a ton of Florida games this year. We got ourselves a great trade here. A solid defensive d man who is mean, a force in the corners and in the front of the net. Lock him in for 4-5 years after this a great price. The media is praising this trade for Vancouver. McCann had no place here and we'd be lucky to get a D man with that pick. The late 2nd and early 3rd rounds are full of defensemen. With the right spending and perhaps another move and this team looks A LOT better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I like this trade a lot. Size matters in the NHL and this makes us a more intimidating team. We're being built as a team that can go deep in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
