Get Reinhart and all is forgiven.

Get Bennett and Ehlers and all is forgiven.

Apparently the Ducks really like our new 2nd line center. Time will tell how this works out.
Potential scenarios:
Kes is washed up and can't stay healthy and we get out just in time
Kes rips it up and bonino sucks and sbisa plays his way out of the NHL and we draft a dud.
Kes is good/okay, bonino and sbisa are good and we draft well. Lose short term win long-term.

Need 3 or so years to see for sure.

Anyone gone into the Hawks thread to see how they are dealing with the news that they're not getting Kesler?
- Marwood

I did. It was sour grapes and whining .

I did look to see if I could see JJs sources but none.

Kesler will have a damn good year.
Bonino will be okay as a 2LC.
Sbisa will suck.

As much as I've been defending Van.. looking at the roster, it just looks like a bunch of spare parts. That'll change after tonight, but who is the core going forward?

Horvat, Kassian, Shinkaruk, Edler?

I'd rather have got picks back in this trade if anything.

Check that, I'd send Edler to Tampa for some of their young forwards.

Bonino's nicknames:

Boner
Bones
Viagra

Sbisa on 1040 right now.

they love Edler. Garrison may go there.

I don't see Ehlers Bonino and Kassian as a bad second line

Guessing it's gonna be Garrison for soft serve Purcell instead or BC local boy bust Connolly.

Brendan Lemieux with the 24th pick?

Ew.

healthy now and excited about Vancouver.
Maybe he'll outperform Barker's contributions from a couple years ago.

I like Bonino, but think on a good team he'll be a perfect 3rd liner. I don't think he's offensive enough to play 2nd if Vancouver is able to be a playoff team again.

Plot twist. We flip bonino and tanev+ for Spezza

Edit: Main reason why I don't like the trade. Would've been better if we got rackell and another prospect instead of him or the 10th if we were getting this type of return

We're not on his good list
