thanks for your comment here is some reality. 

 

Benning trades Forsling for Clendenning

Benning trades Shink for Granlund

Benning trades 2nd for Vey

Benning trades now McCann for Gubarson

 

see what is in common here, these are quick retool trades that are trying to stop the common sense (rebuild) which should be happening, instead Benning is gambling with the future to give veterans another go at the cup. Fire freaking Benning.

 

Forsling, Shinkaruk, 2nd (McKeowan) and McCann = 77 NHL games played

 

Clendening, Granlund, Vey and Gudbranson = 595 NHL games played (and all 4 are under 25)

 

Get back to me in 3 years, if you are still allowed to troll these forums, you clown.

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?

 

 

Gudbranson had 43% oZone starts last season.

 

He hardly got a sniff on the PP.

 

He has a wicked shot.

 

He didn't join the rush in FLA.

 

He's 24, and by all accounts still improving offensively.

 

He'll never be Erik Karlsson on offense, but he's not asked to play that role anyway.

 

The Canucks' D was as bad as their O last season. You can't fill every hole with one player, but Gudbranson certainly will help on one side of the ice.

Between the Canucks 5th and 93rd picks - the Carolina Hurricanes will make 7 selections;

and the Leafs will make 6.

So, what you're saying is: the Canucks are missing out on selecting a bunch of guys who may never make the NHL, or a few who might have a decent career as a bottom-6 forward or 7th d-man, and the slim possibility that one guy might actually be a diamond in the rough...?

 

From my perspective, the Canucks come out ahead.

I like that were targeting big mean guys that can play. I hope Martin is in JB's crosshair on July 1st and maybe buyout Dorsett.

Yeah, let's waste cap space for even longer than necessary.  Dorsett can fill a good role and is still moveable.  He's just miscast as a heavyweight.

So has it been confirmed which year that 2nd round is? 2016, or 2017?

 

As well, were also going to be getting a 2nd round pick from CBJ within the next 5 days.

I'm pretty interested to see what Doug Lidster does here - he did a great job with Hutton this year, and then imo worked a minor miracle getting Tryamkin so much ice time in such a short time. If Lidster can get Gud working on more shooting, this might be something really special. Even if he doesn't become and offensive force this is still a really good move.

McCann had the it factor, we lost a serious skilled forward who we again never had patience for, just like Shink now McCAnn.

And yet, we gained something that's a highly valued commodity in the NHL. A top 4 dman who's coming into the prime of his career.

 

Funny how that works...you give something of value up, you get something of value back.....

That's not happening, but I would absolutely love it if they had that brain fart.

I'm expecting a 2017 2nd round pick back tbh.

You are forgetting about Tanev who shut down Laine. And Stecher who will play a similar game.

 

We now have pairing potential with speed, skill and size. Im stoked. If Larsen or someone else can develop a shot for the PP we just became a lot more fun to watch.

Great internal competition coming up this season. Only eight spots.

 

EDLER (NTC)

TANEV

GUDBRANSON

HUTTON

SBISA

TRYAMKIN

BIEGA

PEDAN (RFA)

BLAIN (RFA)

SUBBAN

BRISEBOIS

STECHER

SAUTNER

McENENY

CEDERHOLM

NEIL

OLSON

 

HAMHUIS (UFA)

BARTKOWSKI (UFA)

WEBER (UFA)

FEDUN (UFA)

I think we are on the same page I'm fine with us trading 2nd rounders as long as it is for players like Baertschi/Gudbranson as opposed to Weinrich/Smolinski :P

Carney/Roy/Pahlsson...ugh, it was too easy to extend that list.  I'm going to go back to thinking about Baertschi/Gudbranson.

I wonder if this trade had gone down if Dale Talon was still the GM of Florida?

Somehow, I don't think so!

They don't trade him if they didn't have Ekblad. Just like Nashville wouldn't trade Jones if they didn't have Weber.

 

Hopefully we just took advantage of a rare opportunity.

Really what I meant by it is if we got some picks at the deadline for Vrbata and Hammer we would have more picks.

That is how CAR and TOR acquired their picks

But we didn't, so it doesn't matter

Granlund is relatively soft for a bottom six forward and not very productive either. It's guys like him that make teams like us suck. And again, McCann is only 19... He could easily develop in the AHL a couple years until the Sedins round out their career. Heck, an injury to Baer and we're all of a sudden weak on wingers. 

 

On an unrelated note to this response, people need to stop mentioning Pedan and Tryamkin as the latest instalments to the big, bad Canucks. They may not even pan out. 

Disagree completely on Granlund, and your assessment should at least wait until he's had an offseason to practice and restart fresh with the team.

 

I didn't even mention the Sedins and McCann was likely 4th at center ahead of only Granlund who he will likely never have a better two way game than. His offense will probably be better though which is exactly why he wouldn't be satisfied playing in the bottom 6 down the line. Remaining in the A and down the depth chart for a long period of time is great for your confidence and trade value, right?

 

JB did McCann a service with this trade.

Who really cares what happens to the pile of hopes that we left them. We just acquired exactly what we needed for next year.

Wow!  I just woke from a nap.  We got Gudbrandson, and that's all we had to give up, seriously?  I'm still not dreaming?  Please let me really be awake, and this is not a dream.
