Imagine if social media and these hockey websites were around when the Canucks traded an actual, good, NHL player like Bure

Edit: or the Linden trade

If the return was good Canucks could have kept back 99% . It is an expiring contract

I'll assume that you meant 50 percent and agree with you

Keenan would have been absolutely massacred on social media (Linden trade) yet it turned out to be the most important trade in Canucks history.....its just a game!

No for the right deal keep all the salary. It doesn't matter it won't affect the cap next year.

My sources are correct, it will happen.

The trade that keeps on giving.

We don't necessarily have too many centers....

Sedin - 1 C
Horvat - 2 C
Granlund - 3C
Gaunce - 4C

Sutter, Mcann, Vey - moved to the wing. Cracknell won't be on the team next year. Gaunce can be swapped with Vey if they prefer him on the wing. I don't believe they want Mccan playing 4C
- CanuckDon

Sutter. Vey Mccann..........

Gillis definitely was wound up about his perception in the media. How can you not remember this. He entered every interview defensively and said one snotty thing after another. In interviews,,, even if a criticism was not presented, he was still in a defensive tone. It got worse and worse. Today the media still brings up how he eventually made enemies with them because he was so hung up on criticisms. Hell, he tied to get enough media fired because he didnt like having to defend his moves.... even though the media was kind to him until late in his stay here. MG would have a heart attack if he had to put up with what JB is going through... Gillis definitely cared...

I never really got the impression that he was worried about what the media thought of him or how they portrayed him personally. Just that he was arrogant and above the media who he thought of as the soul-sucking parasites they are. More of a concern for how their nonsense would impact ticket sales and the team in general. Got sort of the same vibe from Burke before he left too, although he was more keenly aware of the marketing need for the media so perhaps seemed just a little more tolerant.

The curious part of this Shinkaruk Granlund deal is that everyone against the deal are very animated, and those for it, none of them are jumping for joy.

Pretty sure you can't retain more than 50%. Not positive by any means.

Gillis said no to some early offers. He publicly tried to blame Luongo for not waiving... Luongo called BS on it and said he was never approached about any trades to waive. So Gillis lied or he did have some options... and lied about turning them down. So, Gillis lied one way or the other...
- boonerbuck

You are spot on regarding both posts on Gillis. His public display of arrogance/ confidence was a show. He was very worried about public perception

It's lateral move, nothing to get too excited about to be honest.
