Nope, I understand certain posters on here only want players that put up points and don't see the value of a very solid big defensive defenseman.
Also, not many teams have RHD depth.

That world championship is to blame. If that hadn't happened... Well... we can dream.

Should be a reminder that the long term is more important than basing opinions on what just happened.

I think long term for any player is nuts. Long term works out most times for superstars but the game changes so fast that you are constantly changing IMO. Look at Laine now and Nylander , two stars that the teams want to move. Luckily the teams have given both players respectable AAV . We extended Brock last year now he is at the top of the Canuck trade list.

Carlo, or a young RHD with some size. A nasty disposition is okay as well.

A person in Florida called 911 after hearing a neighbor repeatedly yelling Shoot Shoot . Turns out it was a Bolt fan watching the hockey game.

Yup. Was hoping Gudbranson was going to work out but that didn't go so well.

Yup, that one went sideways. At least we got an asset in Pearson.

Not sure who else on here would like to see Carlo with Canucks, but, VHG and I have definitely been the most vocal about wanting him here.

- Reubenkincade

I think he would be a fantastic addition, but I question whether the Nucks can pay the price it would cost and if Boston even wants to get rid of him.

Carlo would be a great addition but he's not as good as many think. You are going to look pretty good defensively when the team has +50 goal differential. I think Cernak in particular will be acquired as a top 2 guy and in reality be exposed as a slow simple player.

I still think the team has issues but they are slowly getting away from the old thinking. I did see more team toughness this year but still needs to be improved a lot more. When Tyler Motte is your hits leader then you need to rethink things.

I would have hated it here if I was Guddy . Expected to fight everyone's battles.

Same with team D and shots against, the forwards have got to help out a lot more. I think this year is a chance to change two bottom 6 players and that would be a good start . I would start by a new 3C and I would not mind Kyle Cifford for fourth line duties.

What does lack of physicality from the team have to do with Gudbranson being a poopty hockey player?

I really don't see how anyone can still defend that move.

Sens now 22 Mil below the floor of the Cap. 43 Mil in Cap space . Expect some big moves by them . They will probably be getting a lot of high draft picks or solid prospects.

Only on Canucks was he that terrible. Same as Bonino and the countless other players that marched through here to ruin their careers.

OJ or

Jake and Loui for the 33 rd .

I think it would be more of a Rafferty and Sven for a 7 th .


So many ways it could go. If I was Benning I would sell Loui for half price where it cost the team nothing this year and 1 mil next year.
