PhillipBlunt Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Good for Luca. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rocket Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Kinda funny how we basically replaced him with MDZ on a similar salary for a similar role, especially since MDZ and Sbisa were right beside each other in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck_In_Paradise Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Good for Luca! I thought he played quite well here last year, so I'm gutted he's not here anymore yet also happy for him to have found a home on a surprisingly decent team.

City-in-state-of-emergency Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Good thing for Vegas they can now trade him for a high ransom like they wanted in the off season. I think Pittsburgh will swing a offer for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfstonker Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I always liked Sbisa and could never understand the treatment he got from many on here. I hope he does really well with Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches5 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 He was our best Dman at times last year and it was very obvious Vegas was going to take him when Canucks left him unprotected. I can't believe people thought Vegas was going to take Gaunce over Sbisa.. I was hoping they would but I would not understand why they would even consider that.

I hope he does really well with Vegas. Folks always want a scapegoat. For the Canucks its always at least 3 guys pretty much. It's varied between: Edler Eriksson Tanev ( More for trade bait than hatred of his play.) Gagne Vanek Remember when CDC was calling Virtanen a bust? Vanek for me is trade bait, but you know he's going to get goals, he just seems to lack passion. Edler can be a world class d-man, but he never seems to apply himself, or perhaps he tries too hard? Gagne I have no issue with, because his work ethic is there. Same goes for Eriksson, the team needed to overpay to get him, the team got him. Now it's doubtful they could trade him, hopefully Green can get him going when he comes back from injury. Sbisa was more steady than Edler last year. And made about the same mistakes. But at least he was always physical. In the end we got Del Zotto and Vegas got Sbisa, and it's worked out for both clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloubek Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Happy to see it was well, but not really completely surprised. He slowly got better as he was on our team to the point where he was basically earning his contract by the time he got taken in the expansion draft. Nice to see him continuing with that improvement.

Then I guess you thought it was a good thing. i understood what benning was thinking. the three swedes had showed good chemistry in the past. if they had that chemistry again, that line could help lead the youngsters to a winning attitude. the fact that it didn't happen the way they planned, doesn't have me wanting him gone. i don't worry about the amount of his contract. it isn't coming out of my pocket. ericksson has shown good chemistry with granlund and sutter and he could help some young swedes after the sedins retire. his contract in years 5 and 6 could be moved. as long as any player, plays for the canucks, i'll be behind them and root for their success.
