No, Gudbranson wasn't having a great year... but who fills his slot?????? With the way Guddy was playing, Luke Schenn can replace what he brought at this point. The D needs a complete overhaul, it's not a secret. This will be Bennings final summer if he can't build up the D IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cory40 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 If Luke Schenn can't replace Guddy's gaffs then nobody can! Wait until he costs Pittsburgh a couple of games with poor coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving Gudbranson leaves glaring holes in our defensive line up and makes our team is even softer now. Adding Pearson literally does nothing for our team, the dude was already being moved around like a used car before this trade. Now answer me, how are we going to plug our defensive gap for the rest of the season and next season? How about team softness with our super soft team, we just traded away our toughest player. You do realize this likely signals management tanking the rest of the season right? If this hurts our defense, then that likely means more losses and a higher pick. This team isn't going to be rebuilt on deadline day. This was getting rid of a player that was not a fit, while getting a solid 15-20 third line winger for next season. The heavy lifting will have to be done over the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post -Vintage Canuck- Posted February 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2019 Erik Gudbranson on Sportsnet 650: "It's an interesting day. First time I've been moved on the deadline. Happens a lot quicker midseason than the summer. It was a different experience." "I wish during my time here I played a little better. Those guys deserve it. That's a hell of a group in that room going on the ice tonight. They're going to be a great group going forward." "I don't think I ever found the confidence in myself. Came to the rink every day and worked hard, that's kind of a staple of mine. But... it kind of is what it is." "I was very surprised. I had just walked into my place with my pre-game meal right at noon on the dot. I had a sense of relief and I was like 'phew, I didn't get moved' and then my phone went off and I saw my agent's name." "I've had some good games, I've had some bad games. I know what I am capable of in this league. Confidence comes from consistency, just repeating the same thing over and over. I had good stretches of hockey and I wish I was able to do that more consistently." "I had a lot of fun here. Over the time that I've been here we've grown as a team that wasn't very good to a team on the upswing. They've brought in guys that will make this team very good. It was nice to play in a city with great fans and it was a learning experience." 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Buzzsaw* Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Couple thoughts: - The next time Petey gets hammered... then I'll expect those who called for the Gudbranson trade to man up and acknowledge that softness has an effect - When the defense starts looking even more like a dumpster fire than it currently is, PLEASE don't lets hear TRADE D threads - Benning has clearly f*cked up in not getting a D body in return for this trade... even if that body was an AHLer... because Utica is going to be a mess - I really hope this trade means Tryamkin is in Bennings back pocket and is on his way to the Canucks as soon as the KHL season is done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if that were true (which it's obviously not), we acquired a two time Stanley Cup champ who at one point was one of the best 2nd/3rd liners in the league. I would say that's a pretty even swap. The only real question is can either of them regain their previous form? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been nice to start the rebuild like 5 years ago instead of "filling the age gap" Would have been nice. Agree 100 percent. I think it was a major mistake to promise Hank and Danny a solid supporting cast to try to make playoffs.... Should have told Hank and Danny that the plan was to Tank and they both could join the Tank or agree to go play somewhere else.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the phrase “looking to add”, and Gardiner has played on the the right side in the past, playing with Reilly, Hainsey, and Phaneuf.

mpt Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 While I like Gudbranson as a person, and I like how he stands up for his teammates (sometimes) the trade makes a lot of sense for Vancouver. One defender needed to go for Hughes, and it needed to be a righty, Tanev, Stech, and Biega are all good in their roles. Canucks with Baertschi out needed left wingers. Pearson gives us what we need as long as he can give us what he gave the Kings that last few years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
