Personally I think Gudbransen will show his worth. He will have a great season.

He'll definitely be better than he was last year, but how much better is the question.

Well if he wants to stay he needs to play extremely well. If he wants out even more so.

He shows alot of his worth off ice. he's a key part of the room going forward. I can live with him being a mid pairing dman. Just matters how much he costs going forward.

Well if he wants out he can just refuse to sign, Canucks have zero leverage/control.

I'm no fan of Nichushkin sorry.

Tanev fetches a 1st & a good prospect i think
- Nighthawk

so how about tanev for 3oa + rights to nichuskin + lehtonen

Might have to throw in the 55oa

I am hoping good enough that we are willing to trade Tanev.

Dont get greedy, Tanev for 3OA + Niemi(apparently they want Lehtonen to be back up) and if we need to add SJS 4th so be it.

I remember a time when that wasn't the case.

I think he will too. Interesting situation though. If he struggles JB has a chance to recoup some of or all of what he gave up for him. If he plays well JB can resign him at anytime Or maybe get more for him then what he gave up. Nice cap hit for a possible trade to a contender at the TDL.

Don't look now, but it's already to late...

Your making me question my faith in you.... you can do better then that.

Well you have been all over the board lately, I'd question something about hormones but maybe it's just really potent weed

Until there is a confirmed trade, it is not too late. We all know that IF Tanev went in a deal for 3OA, Bettman will not let it be confirmed until he has a chance to walk up to the podium and say "I have a trade to announce". That being said I would accept a 3 way deal surrounding Tanev to Col, Duchene to MTL, and Galch + to us. Galch can go to Bo's wing and we figure something out for Sven, either lose to LV or trade.

Bit if he struggles who is giving up what van did to get him ?

was in response to nighthawk saying tanev was worth 3oa + prospect. So I changed it to an awol 8oa pick instead.
Im happy leaving it at that

- Redmile247

If he struggles a bit i doubt we get full value, but a 1st would likely come back at the very least. More if he does well.

If he struggles you'd be luck to get a 3rd ....

No one, you just take your lumps and you move on. If he doesn't play well he's a diminishing asset.

No one, that's why it's a donkey contract. With any luck, they have a verbal agreement to re-up before the TDL

It was stupid to give up that much for a player of his caliber in the first place, you can't fix that.

So if JB can't resign Gudbranson, what's his trade value at next yrs TDL?
- Kaynine

Depends on his season but his value should be at least a prospect and 2nd. But Guddy according to cap friendly is an RFA for 2018.

25 D $3,500,000 RFA (2018

So there is no rush to trade him at next TDL.

Well if he wants out he can just refuse to sign, Canucks have zero leverage/control.
- Nucker101

He's still an RFA in 2018. They have all the control.

BTW, at conclusion of the coming season and this one year deal, Gudbranson is UFA

I still think this draft is crap

Bitting my tongue has led me to more frequent woodshed visits, plus the little one is getting more independent which makes things... interesting.

Im going to go with biting my tongue instead of responding to b1tches is causing an relocated estrogen level that has, in a roid pounding powerlifting manner caused one of my Sutteresque balls size to shrink to mere supersized sized (think golf ball on the left, tennis ball on the right). I tried to drain them but alas Noluck4me..... people have stopped being ridicules in here.



Once the draft happens I'll stabilize my rations and work on getting banned again
