Hey buddy!
Weren't you the one telling me how hard of a worker Nylander is? I called him super talented but lazy as can be. Hmm, now what has his coaches said about his playoff performance

What do you guys think of that trade?

Hearing the #canucks and #FlaPanthers are closing in on a trade. Believe prospect Jared McCann is part of it. Working on full details.

VAN trades Jared McCann to FLA. Details to follow.

It will be McCann, a second and a fourth for Gudbranson and a fifth. All picks this year

Vantel is Jim Benning. He has been lobbying for Gudbranson for a long time

thats not a really good trade, a desperate over paying trade. Gudbranson is only ok. McCann and a 2nd should have gotten a better Dman for that

I was really hoping to get Barrie, but toughness was needed in Van, worth the cost

don't go on twitter, you guys are getting roasted for this trade. McCann, the 33rd overall pick, and another pick is a very steep price. I dunno I don't think its worth the cost at all

I knew it.

Why does Jim like trading our 2nd round picks all the time

Benning is lost.
- ClarksonDavid

Terrible trade for the nucks.

Gubrandson plays a heavy game.

McCann couldn't maintain weight through the rigors of an NHL season so......
- rugdnit

He's got a heavy shot, just needs to start using it. I really like JM but it looks more and more like we'll be picking Dubois.

But dat footspeed

I wish it was CBJ 2nd or next years 2nd. If we are drafting Dubois(most likely, Tkachuk is going 4th i think unless MTL acquires 4oa) we don't need McCann IMO.

I think I called that trade last year before TDL . Call me Benning jr.

there's a couple of posters who come to mind...

So Gudbranson hey? Thoughts?

I was never much of a Mccann fan since his "it is what it is" plus hes not going to be ahead of Sedin-Sutter-Bo so Dubois getting time to develop is what we need. Just dont no what florida wants with him cant see him making the nhl as a center with their roster

Wow, nice trade by the Canucks (finally). Gudbranson is a big time d-man. The 2d rounder hurts a little. Don't know much about Mccann but does he project as a top 6 forward?

Vantel, please stop telling Jim to give the 2nd round picks please

Who's the best player in the deal?

The fifth?

They're all projections but an offensively skilled forward with a very good wrist shot who needs to gain like 30 pounds. Lots of upside.

Hey man if my team was trading a high 2nd and one of their top young guys for a number 6 dman I'd be trying to change the subject too

Don''t watch a lot of Panthers games do you?

- golfingsince

Yup. This team really needs an overhaul on the back end and you are going to have to overpay for D-Men ... Especially for a guy that is 6'4" and 24 years old.

The guy played 26 minutes a night in the playoffs, is 24 years old and you're calling him a #6 ?

He's a Leafs fan, he just doesn't understand when he watches.

That part I blame Dragon. He throws away second picks like ASL throws away roaches.
