Don't worry guys! We still got that Zack Kassian

2014-2015 Stanley Cup Champs! WOooooooooooo

Luongo for Matthias
Schneider for Horvat
Kesler for Bonino

Yeesh

:derp: canucks got sbisa because hes from Italy

Whats next 6th OA + shinkaruk + tanev for reinhart?

center depth wins championships :troll:

hahahah oh luongo.

Yea that's the thing people are forgetting. Playing well protected behind getzlaf compared to kesler who's always playing against other teams top line is a totally different scenario. Don't get me wrong, it's a whole lot better than the likes of Matthias. Now that we have sbisa who's a top 6 defenseman, looks like garrison is gonna be moved.
I'm liking the bold changes to the line up regardless of the result for this upcoming season. Changes were long overdue after the 2011 SC final and getting knocked out of the first round 2 years in a row to eventually not making the playoffs. Also the declining production of the Sedins doesn't help

-been talking to some guys at work about this Kesler trade.


What if Benning is creating a bigger package to get that no. 1 pick from Florida using Sbisa and the 24th pick?

Pick no. 6 and Sbisa/Shinkaruk for the no. 1 pick?

I say that something bigger is about to go down at the draft for the Florida pick.

Benning is just getting started. :suspicious:

Bonino Sbisa + 1st round is quite a big package

Chris pronger fetch lupul sbisa + 1st round

Damb.. I was into the NBA draft yesterday instead.

edit: sorry was posted already above

am i the only one that thinks this is a pretty decent trade? bonino and sbisa are solid pieces, and everybody's been on kesler's case for declining production since 2011 SJS series.... i like this trade


but moving garrison is kinda sad

-cannot wait until what Benning has up his sleeve in terms of trades and drafts.

Trade Kesler to get Bonino, who you had in Santorelli and ya let him walk for free when ya could have gotten a home town discount

i pray to god that Benning did extensive homework on Bonino
And Sbisa is suppose to be a hard hitting physical defenseman. i hope so
their 10th pick would have been nice...

i think Benning has more up his sleeve today

Exactly

Bonino is legit

Everyone is overating injury prone Kesler

Bonino is added for the help on our shootouts:

per Dreger's twitter

"Kesler's agent , Kurt Overhardt has high praise for Canucks GM Jim Benning. Says Benning worked very hard with the 2 teams given (Chi-Ana)"

Bonino >>> Santorelli

Kesler is far from the player he was.

Decent trade for a player with a NTC

Fuck Kesler for giving the Canucks only 2 teams to deal with. Most players usually give 5 or so. What a giant sack of shit

This. Right. Here.

Considering this, the trade isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

its his right

you would not want to be dealt to butt fuck city of Columbus for instance
and you would want to be with a winner
