If he doesn't play much this season, then I have zero idea why Gillis got rid of Hodgson. He's signed through 2013 and his trade value would have continued to go up the more he played. If Kassian doesn't contribute in the playoffs, this trade will have been a huge failure.

RUH ROH, is Socreges securing Buffalo as a second team?
Hey, the Vancouver-Buffalo bond is sacred. Step down soldier.

WELL THANK FUCKING GOD WE STILL HAVE JORDAN SHROEDER AND NO PICK
Well, Kassian is a lot better than Steve Ott will be..
Man, I'm elated. If Ruff puts Hodgson on the third/fourth line I'm going to kill somebody.
That's right. 1970 forever.

Putting Bourdon on that list is not cool man. It's a sad story.

Add HOCKEY TRADE to the 2013 trade deadline drinking game
That's what I'm confused about....some people say Kassian has the potential to pan out and be a success but the Canucks window is now, and Hodgson is playing pretty fantastic for his ice time, why take the risk and ship him off if your best chances for a cup will be the next couple years.

10 year extension for Wilson confirmed !!
Hah. I've always said that I enjoy seeing them do well. Was happy that Ehrhoff signed there as well. They're our franchise cousins and share our Cup-less pain.
I know, it sucks, but it's a consideration.

not funny, man!!
But it's not like we traded him away, so including him in that list to prove your point doesn't really make sense...

You mean kind of like trading a couple of 26-ish prime players for rookies when you have aging veterans on a team? Yeah it's a crappy strategy.
My point was that those players are not in the Canucks' organization anymore.
Burke is full of shit.

He needs a lot of ice time. I really want to see that.
I always worry about trades like this - what's stopping a player who didn't want to be traded, and was, to a lesser team, to just give up? Guess it worries me.
Incoming Sabres GAF trying to justify him at all
Honestly, I never saw much good from the guy, at least this year. Last year I was a bit excited on him because he gave us a few games. This year he has been horrendous, cost games, doesn't play good D/is soft as hell, and doesn't own up to his mistakes. He seems cocky/arrogant to a fault. He's been scratched for the longest time. Maybe he'll step it up, but I can guarantee people here are glad to be rid of Gragnani.

The number two spot in my heart will always be held by our Northwestern cousins.
Grags has good puck moving potential but he started to blow super hard this year defensively. Maybe the change in scenery will do him well.

Also Vancouver GAF... one tiny shred of hope. Marc Andre Gragnani was a beast last year in the playoffs. 1G 6A in 7 games.
Not so much this season, but... yeah, that's all I got.

In retrospect it's even funnier thinking about how TSN was trying to make sense of that Pahlsson trade and no one thought to say, "Why did the Canucks do this?"
So..... want to give us Hodgson back?
No doubt, brother, no doubt.
So..... want to give us Hodgson back?
I hear No Pick was really starting to develop well.
I don't have any attachment to him so far and I'd rather be 15th in the conference this season. So, sure? haha
Wait you're saying there are non-Canucks fans who actually LIKE us? -surprised- but yeah, Buffalo is definitely a good destination, i could be more mad.
Only thing i can think of with Kassian instead of Hodgson for the playoffs is that Gillis was scared Hodgson would've just been pushed around and crushed in the playoffs and didn't want that. Still a crappy/really risky trade. Gillis better gives Kassian Bitz's/Weise's spot right away for a while to see what happens.

Hm, four first-round picks. I would have done Kulemin for a 1st and called up Kadri.

Gragnani was looking like Phil Housley when he was called up at the end of last year and in the playoffs. He looked like our best defenseman for about a month. Then this year happened. I don't know what happened, but he has been a turnover machine. Straight up terrible. As soon as the Sabres got 7 healthy defensemen back, he was scratched every game unless there was an injury.
If you can somehow capture that month-long stretch, Grags could be really good. He has completely lost his confidence here.
BTW, I know nothing about Sulzer. Anything we should care about?

The only one of those that I would trade for a 1st is MacArthur
He just needed more ice time.

Been pretty proudly a 'Nucks supporter in these threads in the past. They're well liked in Buffalo in general, based on my personal experience.
I hope the Jackets get absolutely nothing for him.

Before the CoHo deal it was just boring, now it's plain out frustrating. Kassian better rip everything to pieces upon arrival.

Wow what an idiot.
We were so lucky that we did alright in the end after Heatley-gate.

Except they also got back an established player in each trade, and those guys are each having better seasons then the players that the Flyers gave up.

GMGM needs to fuck off finally. He didn't do a single thing to address our problems as a team. I know the 2C market was non-existent but our center depth doesn't exist. We must finally get a 2C during the summer.
The question is... Which team?
Not sure if this was posted already but the Blackhawks have acquired veteran defenseman Johnny Oduya from the Winnipeg Jets, according to multiple reports.

Sounds like a good return for Grangani.
