If McCann gets dealt it will be in the offseason imo.
- dbot

Im starting to think McCann and Horvat will be packaged for a rental.
The shink trade is crazy. We may not lose the trade but we can't win it. If Shink doesn't develop the he's Granlund. If he does were (frank)ed. No upside to that trade at all.
The Larson trade is alright in terms of value, but why now?
And to cap it off Benning says the canucks ate open for business on Bartowski, Vey, Kenins, Higgins, Weber, Prust. The only guy who gets anymore then a 5th-7th rounder on that list is Bartowski who probably compares value wise to Mike Weber.
Umm why are we not open for business on Vrbata, Hamhuis and Hansen? (frank)ing gutless weasel linden is. Letting ownershipmanage the roster and saying he makes the calls. What a sellout. I hope the pull his jersey down from the rafters in a few yrs when new ownership takes over and burn the (frank)ing thing.

He's Danish.... let's hope he's best friends with Boedker which will help us sign him in the offseason.... i don't see how Larsen helps us in any other way.
- Mungo

Are you ready to take over the 1040 morning show?
Do you mind if I smoke weed in the production room?

Hmm, maybe a 5th is too much then, should given a 2018 7th
- Retinalz

The pick is conditional. I presume on him signing

Hey guys just in Canucks trade a 5th rounder for Oilers property Philip Larson, playing in the KHL. Supposedly a smaller puck moving dman. Gulutzan coached him in the Dallas system.

Again another small dman?
- allsports

The guy is 26
Could we not have signed this guy for free over the summer?

Boedker sounds like a sexy Euro-winger and all, but I think the Canucks can probably do better than him from within their own organization at a much lower cap hit.

He has a grand total of 80 goals in 443 NHL games. Career high is 19.

He's a career -41 and has never had a season where he scored in double digits AND had a positive +/-.

He also only averages 55 games a season due to injuries.

I volunteer to be an intern.

Good point. Perhaps it's just a free evaluation and a boost for Utica. Followed by a try out at training camp. Seems like a fine low risk gamble
- CanuckDon

He isn't expected over here till September as per Bob Macjenzie

Actually, they did a break down. His numbers are way way better then Schultz. This is decent trade value

Far out!
If Mungo is good with it, we'll chat.

- Bieksa#3

Then what was the point of trading... wouldn't he be UFA July 1st?

Hopefully Pedan will be in the lineup, we need some grit coming from someone besides Edler, Tanev, Hutton and Sbisa...

Was your account hacked? I'm assuming it's not a serious post

Streaky as hell.

But where would the outrage come from then?

- Retinalz

Oilers made him a qualifying offer thus making him a rfa. Really it's no different then RoR over in Russia.

Dead serious.

- Bieksa#3

Sure, but could we not have simply put an offer in and gotten him for free this summer?

Hopefully Pedan will be in the lineup, we need some grit coming from someone besides Edler, Tanev, Hutton and Sbisa...
- hillbillydeluxe

That will be the big tree from Russia. I presume watching him is how they got a good look at the Danish delight

See above, RFA

so gritty

Dead serious.

Really, Hammond?
I always thought you were more rational & reasoned.

I try to be and I think I am this time. If they don't get some value for Hamhuis and co I'm gonna put it square on Trever Linden. And as I said we may not lose the shink trade but there is no upside

Very odd moves leading up to the TDL.

Shink for Granlund.
5th for Larsen.

Almost seems as though Benning is thinking about next season as opposed to next Monday.

I am of the opinion that there is more outrage/confusion to come.

- Bieksa#3

Thought there was some link to the Big Russian.

I just hope we don't have too many of these unproven guys at camp next season and can't carry them all, can't trade the ones that aren't quite ready and end up losing them on waivers...

Don't want to be a downer but that might be a challenge trying to get all these guys into the lineup.

more moves are coming.
