InTheCrease Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 To me this means they think no playoffs and running with youth. Especially if Hughes comes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 If only reason ppl are sad to see Gudbranson go is the toughness then it's not a huge loss.. He wasn't a good Dman and he admitted this him self. As for physical presence, he never terrified ppl he wasn't overly physical but did fight once in a blue moon. Hes -27 this year. His toughness could easily be replaced with a 4th liner making less than half what Gudbransin made.. Good trade by Benning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DeltaSwede Posted February 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) Not sure why we are talking about toughness so much. It was lacking with Gudbranson on the ice who failed to show it just like Archibald failed to show it. We can replace these type of players very easily in free agency in the summer for much less money. Why complain when there is nothing to complain about? Is it nostalgia? Listen, Gudbranson is a great guy and a man rocket, he was awful for us on the ice. This gives more opportunity to other defensemen (who can't be much worse) and we get a project player in a position we needed. Give McKewan a few more looks doesn't bother me whatsoever. Both him and Sautner have showed more toughness than Guddy or Archibald has ever brought. Edited February 25, 2019 by DeltaSwede 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey God Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Let's do some crystal ball gazing: 1. Perhaps, unfortunately, Baer has more problems than we know about, meaning that this trade helps to fill in a hole for now and the near future; 2a. The team must be sure that someone on the farm is ready to move up and take Guddy's spot. I'm hoping that it's Brisebois, or maybe Woo as a dark horse. Or; 2b. JB has an in with someone UFA this summer. Maybe EK, maybe Myers, but maybe he's sure that someone is coming here; 3. Could it be that Tryamkin might be coming back a bit ahead of schedule? 4. Team grit has taken a hit here, so this could be a sign of what/who JB is aiming for in the upcoming draft. 5. The holes on D are alarming at present, so there pretty much has to be wholesale changes this summer to make the personnel back there NHL ready, which is exciting to think about. All in all, the trade has me thinking positive thoughts. Best of luck Guddy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternalCanuckFan Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) Will be interesting to see Luke Schenn as I presume he'll take Gudbranson's place in the line-up. Worth noting that MDZ's deal for Schenn and a 7th may have been in preparation for this. I know it seems strange that MDZ could go for a 6th at the TDL but that was only for a pick and did not involve a depth D. Leads me to think that Benning could have received a late 2019 pick but opted to go for a late 2020 pick and a depth D with a possible Gudbranson trade in mind. No idea about Pearson. He obviously has played well in the past but he has really struggled this season. Sportsnet 650 talked about him playing with Horvat which seems like it could be promising. Pearson might fit better with Horvat than Spooner. Pearson might also fit with Pettersson and Boeser.

MystifyNCrucify Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Im not sure how i feel. Maybe i would prefer if jb had gotten picks or even a young player with potential, instead of a guy that i dont remember liking anything about. Hard not to think we are going to miss guddys deterrent, at the same time watching pearson float around and collect a paycheck. I hope him and louie arent competing for 4 line spots this year and next *shudder* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueDragon23 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Honestly I’m happy. He was getting burned constantly in the d-zone and wasn’t helping at all offensively. Losing the size and toughness sucks but overall this will be good for us, especially with Quinn arriving next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree.not saying you specifically but if you watch a lot of games you’ll notice how certain players carry themselves on the ice. And said players were totally different vs the Canucks. its not just what guddy did or didn’t do in the toughness department. It’s what other players from other teams didn’t do....matheson aside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do understand as Canucks fans we're all different people? Not everyone views a player the same. Guddy was a poor defenseman as many have pointed out. But as others have stated he was one of our few tough guys. Why is that so hard to figure out for some people? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
