No...it means he should be in Utica with Jake developing.

I'm ok with Gudbranson because of his age. Stecher deciding he wanted to play in Vancouver was a blessing Benning couldn't predict.
- LeftCoaster


We heard JB mention he wanted to get Bo signed, I wonder if the Canucks have been talking to Gudbranson and what kind of money he is asking for?

always talk of moving Tanev, but if Gudbranson is looking for much more than Tanev, I think I'd rather keep Tanev.

You said Florida isn't utilizing JM appropriately...I'm simply disagreeing

Is he a high end Power forward? I don't think so. Too many negative intangibles for me.
- thundachunk


True on intangibles. Why he would be available. But he does have recognized skill. His production has fallen because of all the problems, injury and team play.

When he played for the Giants he didn't have the troubles that plagued him away from home. I think it's worth a try to give him a chance if the price is low.

Otherwise, I would rather trade Canuck vets for draft picks or junior age prospects.

Maybe in 2 years a more mature but still young Kane UFA will have cleaned up his act to be singed to a rebuilt young Canuck team. With no Sedins there will be plenty of Cap space to add a UFA then.

Well you'd have to read into that, that he has better players in front of him so he's playing out of position. Why they traded for him I don't know 🤔

I didn't want to have to write a book to explain my position like NuckFU does though.

Come on Lefty. Are you being a little out of left field there? I stopped using my talk and send function.

Paintchips4U has feelings as well. Florida traded for him because they have a bunch of analytics pussies working for them. They should have targeted somebody else

That Nuck4U should back the f*ck down or you will gnaw on his skull.

What are you accusing me of now? Plus there is nothing left. You already boiled my head and fed it to the villagers.

Truthfully, it was a cap dump move, but they got a decent forward prospect with upside and a draft pick for a player they weren't going to be able to sign anyways. Florida is a budget team, so since they had a D on an ELC that could at least eat up some of Gudbranson's minutes, he was expendable.

Nice to know. Let's keep being fair.

As for Mcann trade I get your point about giving up young assets in rebuild. Though, given how long it takes D to develop isn't Guddy young enough to even that out?

Ya that's why I'm ok with the deal. Need another young center now though IMO.

Apparently not. Since you have been feeding me mind numbing paint chips from your stash.

But on hockey talk. I like Guddy. Believe he can bring more then what we have seen. Mcann nice speed and shot. Concerns of strength and versatility. Plus where he would fit into future top six.

Agree. That should be the focus whether by draft or trade for prospect. The winger need can always be addressed by playing centers like Sutter or Granlund there.

Reinhart plays great on the wing though. In fact,with his skating deficiency, I would think GM's see him more as a winger, and sometimes center, than a center.

so like like another Guance

Those guys are nice, but the team needs some higher end skill, McCann had that. Hopefully they get another one and develop him properly. Might have a Gluck of good dmen shortly.
