Get your built in excuse ready for why they don’t move Gudbranson. If they don’t move him and he signs in Florida that could be the straw that broke he camels back for Elmer. A recent 1st , a high 2nd ( in a stacked draft) and a 4th for a guy we rented for two injury riddled seasons to play on the bottom pairing. He had three fights and a few hits and scored 5 points. Good times.
Not sure where you're going with this one - You make a case the Gubs is a player no team will want, yet you expect to get a return at the deadline? What do you think he'll bring?
Do we dump him for a 3rd or 4th? Do we try to re-sign him for another 1-2 years?
Personally, I expected a little more from him - more hits, better D, less injuries - but with that said, he's still as good as any of the other scrubs / placeholders on our weak D.
No just referring to Skyo getting the excuses ready. I think he has a bit of value but nothing close to what was sent out to acquire him. I can’t imagibe ownership will be too thrilled to get back a late 2nd and a scrub prospect. I imagine they would be irate if he walked for nothing July 1st. That was my point.
Like yourself I also expected more from him

They've probably already decided what they want to do with him, gonna assume they've talked to his agent to see what his contract expectations are and they've probably got a couple calls kicking the tires on Guddy.
And at least Guds is playing way better than last year, the big beast is playing smarter positionally, he's not chasing players behind the net, he's battling in the corners and is always in front of the goalie to help protect/shield the net.
40 days till trade deadline to settle these tradeable players to contenders.
DailyHive got the 5 tradeable players from the canucks
Edler can be forced out. And he should be. It's high time.
YES!!!!
Like I said before, I'll say it again IF the Sedins retire at season's end, I can see Edler saying OK! time for a change! and he will discreetly tell General Benning his preferred teams he'd be willing to be traded to.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

I think Edler would want to do what's best for the team, like Burr and Hansen
... rather than Hamhuis and Vrbata.
Plus he's pals with Linden and it's in his best interest to remain that way (he loves Vancouver.. and post hockey career??).
And no doubt management would explain they won't be offering another contract due to the youth movement.
I wouldn't be surprised if we have to wait until NEXT YEAR's deadline however.
Not sure if Mëds and Madcombinepilot can hang on that long...

I know Vanek only landed a 3rd last year, but I think we might get a 2nd for him... cuz Benning.
I think Benning could talk a team out of a late 2nd this year (50th - 62nd?).
Or how about a package deal - Guds + Vanek for a late 1st.
DARE TO PIPE DREAM
Preparing for a 3rd mentally aha, so if he gets more great! if not - well it's expected.
Good ideal about packaging Guds and Vanek together for a 1st, I can see the Islanders pulling that off, they also have Ho-Sang who maybe in their bad books on the team. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/isla ... -immature/

I was comparing deadline deals last year and Benning killed it....

Since the price for Gudbranson (plus a 5th round pick) was a former 24th overall plus a second round pick and a fourth round pick, wouldn't killing it this year require that Benning get at least as much back ?
Examples of Stalwart - Jared "Harold Druken" McCann Rasmus "Per Olav Brasar" Asplund.
“Tyler Myers is my guy... I was taking to Scotty Bowman last night and he was bringing up his name, and saying he’s a big guy and big guy need big minutes to play, he is playing great for ya… and I agree with him… He’s been exceptional” - Bruce Boudreau
If Gudbranson can be signed for 3 - 4 years at a good rate then keep him.
If not then i hope Benning is on the phone now to move him, i do not see his value increasing before then. doing TDD deals with UFA are a 2 headed sword.
I agree with Strange, Vanek should bring a 2nd and if JB can swing both of them for a late 1st I am all over that even if it is a 2019 1st.
