Toyotasfan Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Gudbranson is going to be a beast in the playoffs. We got a player that might be worse than Louie Erickson. 9 goals , plan the parade. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -Vintage Canuck- Posted February 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2019 "We think that Pearson will be a good fit playing with either Petey or Bo. When that came across my desk, we figured we're getting a good hockey player back. We weren’t going to trade away picks today and if you’re not willing to do that, it’s hard to be in on the big deals. We’ve done a good job drafting and we want to continue to do that to rebuild the team." - Benning 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? For a supposed tough guy he didnt do jack **** out there on the ice. I'm not typically hard of players. But Gudbranson was a complete and total failure in Vancouver. For every hit he through he was on the ice for 10 goals against 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Canuck nation is as happy about this as they seem to be. I surely am not. Yeah we are going to have to address that. I thought the team already needed a bit more toughness with Gudbranson so now its definitely a concern. But the defense needs to be retooled & this is a great starting point for that. Gudbranson's play/value has been declining & now we get a winger that can play with Horvat out of him. To me the positive outweighs losing the toughness pretty easily.

JeremyCuddles Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I said some less than good things about Guddy's game in this thread, but I do hope he turns his game around in Pittsburgh. I like Guddy. He's a good guy, good leadership. He just didn't look good here. Whether because of injuries or whatever. I don't see him leaving hurting us too much, but I will miss seeing him. He always seemed like a good guy. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Yikes I'm more worried about Petey now tbh, there is absolutely no one on this team now that can intimidate the other team from taking runs at Petey. Opponents coaching game plan.... Do whatever you can to get under Petterssons skin take a run at him if you want, don't worry no one on the Canucks will do anything to stop you, they definitely won't be able to hurt you back.

Brilliant move by GM Jim Rutherford. #NHLTradeDeadline #LetsGoPens #Canucks Let’s revisit this after a while I actually think it is a good move, he just wasn’t working out here and it was a big sample size. In Pittsburgh, maybe he helps them if they make the playoffs as he “should” be better in the post season. 3rd pairing D are the spots you want available for your kids to come up and compete for. Having Gudbranson there in their way wasn’t doing anyone any good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DooBie604 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I can already see this board whining when we play tough team and they take liberties. Even if he didnt fight as much as some of you had hoped doesnt mean he didnt challenge people. You cant just start throwing punches in this new NHL. From what I saw when he grabbed a guy from a scrum most often that player would calm down immediately when they saw who grabbed them. Thats the intimidation that will be missed. Its a shame he couldnt get his defensive game together during his time here. Hope nothing but the best for the guy. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always seemed like a good guy. I think this played a big part in his so called ineffectiveness with the Nucks. When we first got him and he dummied Kassian in a fight and then made Matt martin answer the bell for his Stecher hit he made me a fan of his style. I believe he had back issues and I think that played a part in his lack of phsical play - although he did drop the mitts with Getzlaf a little while ago. Moving him and picking up a reclamation project like Pearson is a great move by JB. Saves a bit of cap and if Pearson can find his scoring touch this might turn into a steal. Wishing the best of luck to Guddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip Spence Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Good. Wish Gudbranson all the best at Pittsburgh. Doubt he’ll do well though. Seems a nice bloke. But awful awful hockey player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was our only tough heavyweight we had to stick up for our young stars. Roussel cant do it all bu himself. I would have kept gudbranson 100% Same as when Dorsett was the lone guy having to deal with anything physical and I remember him talking about that and how happy he was when he finally had help in that area 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nergish Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 So their contracts are nearly identical? Happy to move away from Guddy.... but what do we actually gain in Pearson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
