Carol Schram: Canucks & Senators make a trade ahead of their Thursday game plus WJC QFs The Vancouver Canucks have traded Anders Nilsson to the Ottawa Senators as part of a five-player deal ahead of their Wednesday contest in Canada's capital. Plus, Canucks prospect Tyler Madden is shining for Team USA at the World Junior Championship ahead of Wednesday's quarterfinal games.

Thanks for the breakdown Carol.

How odd for the backups to be playing on the opposite benches tonight.

Benning is walking in the right direction, he's still taking baby steps.

Theres a team that knows how to tank! But seriously they got spanked by injuries. Any chance Nilsson starts for Ottawa tonight?

Thanks Carol.
Happy with the trade, hopefully you get to write about Goldobin being moved, before too long.

It would be a surprise start but if he does then he pitches a 48 save shutout in a 5-0 game.

Don’t understand the laugh. That’s a better group of forwards than you guys are icing (even with a few guys injured). Ottawa sucks because their D is basically a group of mediocre AHL caliber players right now ( 2 or 3 of our best guys hurt), not because our forwards are bad.

Nope. That lineup sucks hard.

How many of those guys are still there next year?

How long do you wait on Duchene and Stone?

Good for Stone tonight to get a good look at what life would be like as a RW for either Eliteus Petterson or Bo Score-vat. I bet Stone wells up a little every time he looks across the ice to see those two in Canucks colours while his C is Chris Tierney.

Nope. That lineup sucks hard.

I love that you have Leivo and Roussel in top six roles and still think you can criticize other teams forwards. LMAO

Thx carol!

No kidding. Colorado is setup for a long time. Jost gets a top winger. Or they trade it and get a defenseman... i hear Tanev is available

lol please don't...don't wanna really go through 3 pages of why OEL is a better overall hockey player than John Tavares.

You are full on delusional, and weve got our fair share of that here.

Tanev for first overall is very reasonable. But the first overall could still bust. Gotta have Colorado toss in some insurance. Possibly their own first rounder to go with the Senators first rounder, which the Senators traded to the Avalanche last year, would be enough to get it done.
