Shirotashi Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Im so happy people a recognizing the huge gaping hole we had/have with toughness, theres a complete green light to take liberties on this team now. Roussel cannot bear the weight alone. I hope Tryamkin is coming back next year thats all i have to say. My wouldnt Archibald be handy right now good thing we have Motte instead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Burrows Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Making room for hughes. And replacing Sven whos career might be over with all these concussions. Makes sense to me. He was our worst dman most games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care what people say, he was a huge deterrent to guys looking to rough up the youth and he was the only true physical dman they had. 100% agree stawns. Shocking I know;). sorry Jim. Ya lost me in this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep your head up EP and I hope you make it out of this season in 1 piece. Brian Burke didn't like the trade. You need some sheep dogs around the sheep. Beagle and the Bulldog are not good enough Brian? EP40 is sad because they traded his bodyguard and also his best friend -Dahlen. Hamonic is happy. Choirboy Tkachuk has free reign on EP40 and Markstrom. EP40 needs to take boxing lessons from Gino. He can do it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Finally, what we all wanted... Watching Gudbranson and McCann be teammates in Pittsburgh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Big Mac looked pretty good in his first fight in the NHL. I believe the guy he fought was San Jose's heavyweight. We also have Jonah Gadjovich in the minors who is a face puncher. Gudbranson was somewhat of a deterrent to other teams, but honestly his play was awful. Schenn will be fine until the end of the year. If his play sucks it just means we lose more games and have a better shot at Hughes or Kakko. This year is officially a write off now. No new additions and our top pairing D is injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeserker Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) Never mind the toughness, who's going to wear the formal Chinese attire now that Gudbranson's gone? https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/erik-gudbranson-of-the-vancouver-canucks-sports-a-chinese-news-photo/850519910 Edited February 25, 2019 by Boeserker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Well, I guess Pearson is Pettersson's new LWer. Canucks needed better LWers anyway, as I'm assuming Baertschi will be rendered a non-factor in the future. Dahlen is now gone, so I guess they're really banking on Goldobin becoming something special. Pearson - Pettersson - Boeser Leivo - Horvat - Goldobin hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome pickup, honestly. One of the kind of wingers LA had a bunch of. Gudbranson was too inconsistent in toughness, and offense. This was a fleecing, to be honest. Maybe he does Gud in Pittsburgh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tystick Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Okay well hopefully this one works out for us. Gudbranson wasn't exactly himself this season and was starting to become a liability. Just seems like a switch up for both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nave Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Will miss his toughness and leadership qualities, but his defense left a lot to be desired. We needed wingers, and Pearson was good with the Kings. I think we should play him with Horvat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Pearson a lot, just not a fan of our lack of toughness and Schenn isn't much of a Guddy toughness replacement 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
