For me, Bieksa has been to inconsistent, makes too many mistakes and can't control his temper which ends up costing the team when he's sitting in the box. It'll be interesting to see what Gillis gets for him.

this is very true about juice, but I'm being sold by Gillis himself on a steady backend, it wouldnt surprise me that Bieksa is PART OF THE SOLUTION. inconsistency is one thing, you can also limit the guy's ice time as well.
All this Biekshit needing a change, I dont disagree, but some place in everyone's gut will ask the big
WHAT IF... or MAYBE.. or HE WOULD sorta thing about Bieksa..
His breakout season was based on offensive numbers rather than being a shutdown guy, even though he came through when needed. The Canucks now have a decent top 4-5 guys ready to play. If everyone is sold and accepts their role, the back end will be fine
I personally do not like this trade, not becuz we have traded stonehands and Grabner, but because Keith Ballard hasn't done dick all the past few years. Yes, he mainly played on mediocre teams. Of course, he does bring the agility of a offensive minded Dman, but he doesnt make the team better defensively. He doesrather put the canucks as a top team on the PP from ur Dman deph
