Blazer8717 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 To VAN Zach Hyman (C, 6'1, 213lbs, 6 goals, 10 assits in 34 games) TO TOR Erik Gudbranson Alex Burmistrov 4th round pick The Leafs get a young NHL defenseman, Vancouver gets a center that can fill in for Horvat, then shift to the wing when he gets back.

King Heffy Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I'd rather re-sign Gudbranson than trade him for a plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 ... Hyman would have the same effect on the team as Burmistrov and we're going to trade a 25 yr old 6'5 physical defenceman AND a 4th for a dime a dozen type player? wat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6string Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 We need a longer look at 25 year old Gudbranson, there is plenty of hockey left to be played. The 4 - 44 pairing with Del Zotto looked very good at the early stages of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucklehead73 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Tough call... seems like gudbranson wasn't willing to sign with term for whatever reason and that's a huge red flag for me but otherwise I'd rather keep gudbranson. Unless we can trade him for a sweet return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEGCanuck Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Forget about the draft pick. Why do we have to get ripped off on almost every trade. F... it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we can trade him for a sweet return. Florida signed Guddy for 1 year to trade him (rather than pay him) and the team they traded him to could get a good look and see what he was worth. That was the original plan. Then, last year, Guddy played for most of 30 games with a bad wrist before it got so bad he couldn't play. He was then operated on and missed the rest of the season. Benning gave him a do over at the same rate on the original plan. Guddy deserves a fair shot at a more permanent contract. And the Canucks need to find out what he's worth. It's a win win situation. Both want term but at what salary? Based on his play 2 years ago, some fans are afraid that Guddy is going to be asking for a lot of money. Nobody has seen that he is worth much more than the $3.5 he's getting now. Some would argue that he's worth less. The question is, can both parties come to terms? They can start negotiating Jan 1. If they can't come to terms, Guddy is trade bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure gudbransons camp feels we knew what we were getting... this can't be a show me contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Above that, I want to prove to the city and the team that I can be a good influence on this group.” - EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Stammer- Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I think that we need Gudbranson for his physicality now that Dorsett is gone. So I would hold on to Guddy for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the feeling gudbranson is going to walk when he hits free agency. There's always a lot of talk from both sides when it comes to contracts and usually the truth is somewhere in between.
