grandmaster Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Now that this trade has been digested for a few hours, who here has changed their mind on whether this was a good or bad trade? I personally like it more and more….very excited to see this team play in the new season! Yes the cupboard seems bare with our prospects but at least this team has a nice young core. Most of our best players are in their low 20’s. We acquired a top 2 D, top 6 winger and dumped 3 garbage contracts to one team! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gross The kid said he wanted to come back to junior next year and prove himself . Then hope to get drafted next year. I think he was just fined but was charged. He is skilled and big. Sneaky pick by the Habs. Edited July 24, 2021 by appleboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell by the weird 7th round pick in 2023 addition. Like, what? "Listen, Benning. We like the trade. Just needs a little something else" "What about a 7th round pick 2 years from now?"

Popular Post Eddie Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 When this first broke i absolutely hated it. Now, post draft, i'm actually pretty happy with it. Zona took Guenther at 9th - Watched a lot of minutes of him this year and I see a lot of things I didn't like. He does have good upside for sure, but also higher bust potential i think. I didn't feel he would add too much to our core that couldn't be acquired on the open market. Also unlikely to contribute for 2 years at least. I would say there's only a 15% chance that he turns into a better player than Garland, but that's just my opinion of course. Garland is an absolute class player now ! Would have been a little more gutted if we had missed, Johnson, McTavish, Hughes or Clarke who I had felt might be on board if someone had taken a goalie or made a reach - but as it REALLY happy with this trade. Absolutely loved OEL when he was younger. I've seen him frustrate the Sedins and Kes many times in his prime - those who say he's a liability in his own end are not telling the full story there. I haven't seen a lot of him the past 2 years - but he isn't anywhere near as bad as some people are making out. Not an 8M player anymore - but were not paying that right I could have lived with waiting out the bad contracts for one more year, but look what not supporting the core this year did as we saw a huge regression. Was that a big contributing factor to our losing season - who knows for sure, but its a good theory. I'm all for having a winning culture ! I guess the plan is we have a 3 year window to see what happens now - gonna be exciting to see ! 2 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks worried about how the defense will be affected need to remember that Brad Shaw is on the coaching staff now. The systems he’s going to implement will make Vancouver a much better team defensively. Bring Guddy back for cheap? 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
