Vancouver has a pretty funny way of rebuilding

What in the blue fuck

Didn't you say Gudbranson was in line to be the next captain?...

 

[CreeperBlocks]

LOL CANUCKS

Literally everyone in and around the org said this. Shocked. My thoughts on Gudbranson as a player should be known. But this is completely out of the blue here.

 

[zroid]

I don't really know much about Gudbranson but based on a chart I just saw he seems to be kind of a defensive liability

 

[calder]

TRADESSSSS$$$$$$$$

 

[DopeyFish]

LOL LOL

 

[Red_Man]

Florida is having such a weird off season, gut their management after one of their best seasons ever and now this?

 

[TUSR]

mccann 19 years old puts up 18 points in 69 games on a bottom 3 team

gudbranson 5 seasons 13 point high

what the hell is benning doing good lord

 

[Tabris]

That 2nd is almost as good as a 1st.

Gudbranson was 3rd overall in an amazing draft year. He drafted ahead of Ryan Johansen, Jeff Skinner, Vladimir Tarasenko, etc?

Is he a bust or was just poorly managed?

 

[DopeyFish]

i wonder what vancouver wants to offer for lupul

 

[zroid]

oh dear

Canucks fans don't deserve this

 

[Red_Man]

Bergevin needs to unload Emelin and Desharnais on Benning fucking ASAP

 

[CreeperBlocks]

i wonder what vancouver wants to offer for lupul

I HOPE MONTREAL GETS BO HORVAT FOR DAVID DESHARNAIS

GO GO GO BERGEVIN

BENNING HAS LOST IT

EVERYTHING MUST GO

LETS GET THAT DEMKO KID

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

I don't own a car. I generally only take trains, ubers, or taxis where uber is not available.

I'm in Tokyo right now and I use the subway every day, it's amazing. I didn't use the skytrain much in Vancouver as I rarely left downtown and would just walk everywhere, but whenever I did I loved using it.

The hell happened to Thailand and Dubai...?

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Fwiw I remember seeing some whispers online that benning was concerned about mccan'a attitude

 

[Indrid Cold]

Fire this moron already Linden. ugh.

 

[zroid]

Gudbranson is also a UFA next season. Oof.

edit: or not? capfriendly says RFA.

 

[DopeyFish]

Gudbranson is also a UFA next season. Oof.

LOL

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Gudbranson is also a UFA next season. Oof.

O

 

[RC]

Another step in the wrong direction.

Could someone tell Benning that all these wrongs don't make a right?

 

[lamaroo]

Bergevin needs to unload Emelin and Desharnais on Benning fucking ASAP

Desharnais doesn't have SIZE and GRIT like Benning probably loves though.

 

[Socreges]

The accelerated rebuild continues.

Gudbranson will be a UFA in a year, too. Which means Benning will probably sign him to a 6-yr extension before he puts on the jersey.

Shame the Canucks org isn't willing to commit to being terrible for the short term. So instead we'll be terrible for the long term.

Fwiw I remember seeing some whispers online that benning was concerned about mccan'a attitude

I can see that.

 

[yyzjohn]

Leafs need to grab Vancouver's first pick so we can have two in the top 10. I think Benning will be agreeable.

 

[Red_Man]

Gudbranson is also a UFA next season. Oof.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Gudbranson is also a UFA next season. Oof.

 

[zroid]

Gudbranson is also a UFA next season. Oof.

nvm I don't think that was accurate. I shouldn't assume random Retweets are factual. :lol

he'll be a UFA in 2018

 

[ElephantShell]

I look at that Vancouver trade and just think.... why? They aren't exactly in the position to be unloading picks and/or prospects and here they do both in exchange for a player who adds what exactly to their team?

 

[DopeyFish]

nvm I don't think that was accurate. I shouldn't assume random Retweets are factual. :lol

he's RFA

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Dear sweet lord baby Jesus, sautéed and glazed.... There are some 🔥🔥🔥🔥 takes right now on Panthers Twitter. Fuckin radioactive

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Makes me feel a bit better that Florida fans hate the trade >_>

 

[calder]

Have the Marlies completed their unbeaten march to AHL immortality yet?

 

[DopeyFish]

Have the Marlies completed their unbeaten march to AHL immortality yet?

score was 3-2 at intermission

i refresh and it's 5-2 not even 2 minutes into the third

what the fuck

 

[zroid]

ugh I didn't flip to the Marlies yet since the 3rd period started. Sounds like Bibeau completely imploded.

 

[DopeyFish]

oh god they were both shorthanded too lmao

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Gudbranson is in South Africa right now with Matthias. What a way to ruin a vacation.



I'm still in shock

 

[zroid]

7-2?? WTF is going on :lol

 

[DopeyFish]

7-2?? WTF is going on :lol

probably easy to blame our goalies

 

[Socreges]

Because ownership feels like they can do a fast rebuild and make the team competitive again while the Sedins are still around.

Jared McCann ended up disappointing after 6 goals to start the season, but he's skilled and could end up as a top6. Then there's that 2nd rounder which will be the 35th (?) pick. Gudbranson is a low risk player, a 2nd pairing guy that can eat minutes and defends well but will never help your team offensively.

It's such a hurried, poor way of building a team. Ownership needs to fucking let go. This is just death by a thousand cuts.
