The #VGK have now traded their three first-round picks from inaugural 2017 entry draft: Cody Glass (NSH), Nick Suzuki (MTL) and Erik Brannstrom (OTT).

The Canucks were one of thr worst defensive teams in the league, and have been in thr last 4 years. A defensively responsible center for a 3rd round pick, hard to be pessimistic

He fits in TG chip and chase with actually being able to do it.

There isn't much offence there so far.

If a defensive style change is what we are after (and it should be), than this is a good pickup

I agree Podz and him with another shut down winger and move Hogz up to Bo or Millers line.

6'2 200lbs. We need to get bigger and be better defensively. I think it's a good add.

I agree that he's a good pickup for Green's system

I think he'll bring what we hoped a healthy Sutter would have.

@FriedgeHNIC
Ellis to PHI for Philippe Myers and Nolan Patrick. Patrick is going to Vegas for Cody Glass

Ellis for glass and myers aint bad at all

I agree that he's a good pickup for Green's system

Dallas has a much better defensive structure than Vancouver, it's a good pickup for Benning, I applaud him, but Dickinson will have to work extra hard unless Greener employs a better defensive structure.

I think he'll bring what we hoped a healthy Sutter would have.

Also, he was Dallas top penalty killer over the last 2 seasons. I read my information wrong.

I don't mind the player, i think a 3rd is a bit much where Van is picking in this draft.

Team needed another player that could play center. Probably what it came down too.

I probably see him more if the Canucks were to win a cup that he would be a 4lc.

He will help defensively but hes definitely hasnt shown to help with much secondary scoring, which is almost a need out of 3lc these days.

He's an Arbitration Eligible RFA, I wonder how much he comes in at?

Does it now affect who they pick at #9?

Agree, still BPA...

Ryan Suter?

He's angry now. Especially at Guerin
- manvanfan

Hughes moving to the right side?

Sounds like a direct Sutter replacement, except younger, more durable and heavier.

Question is what does JB sign Richardinson too.

Better skater too, way more lateral movement than Sutter's straight lines.

Jason Richardinson is represented by Pat Morris of Newport Sports, #Canucks got permission from Stars to talk to Morris prior to the trade.

Richardinson is an arb. eligible RFA, but Vancouver has "A good idea of what it looks like" to do an extension, Benning tells
@TheAthleticNHL

-----------------------------------------

Eight years at 4.5 million just to piss off Vantel

He's such a great young player, Flyers could've had Heiskanen, Makar or Pettersson...but no, they got Nolan Bust Patrick

Hard to believe they have fans.

2.5M max on a 4-5 year deal. Any higher AAV needs more years.

3.1M for 8 years.

Goodrow to the Rangers for a 7th

Both are tracking to be busts so far, but I prefer Glass so I agree that I like the preds side

What if the canucks traded there last 3 first rounders holy frank this place would go nuts lol.
