Confirmed with Link: [ANA/VAN] Kesler to Anaheim for Bonino, Sbisa, 24th (and exchange of 3rds)

[Vipers31]

Anaheim will trade Bonino, Sbisa plus 24th overall pick and teams will swap third-rounders once deal goes through

I'm not a fan. At all.

Would have rather given up Etem AND Rakell than Bonino.

 

[oOwlCat]

Man, I'd be sad to see Bonino go. Really enjoy watching him. However very solid deal for you guys IMO, needed to happen to beat LA,Chicago.

Dude really?! Bonino?!?!

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Guess they're really in love with Karlsson/Rakell, because this trade doesn't make us any deeper at center.

 

[duckaroosky]

Not Boner

Boner

This is a solid deal though. Sbisa wasn't goint to be utilized + this is a weak draft. Losing Bonino hurts more on an emotional level

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Man that sucks. Sad to see Bones go...

 

[Vipers31]

Bones is surprising. Tough to see him go. But we got better. And kept 10th overall. Sbisa is a non-factor.

 

[Vaakou]

Great deal. Stoked we didn't give up the 10th! Boner is a great player though!

 

[Terry Yake]

liking this trade

i loved boner but kesler makes us better. definitely happy we kept etem and rakell and extremely happy that sbisa is finally gone

We upgraded.

 

[oOwlCat]

This really is a steal for you guys. Thought you'd be giving up more.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

What a letdown.

 

[Ducksforcup]

Losing Bonino SUCKS but this is a fantastic value trade by Murray. And he kept the Ottawa pick. Anaheim clearly upgraded here.

Kesler...FINALLY in Anaheim.

 

[Static]

Sentimentally sad, but objectively approve.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Gotta admit, this is a little comical. You guys hate losing Bonino and we're all dying on the Nucks board over how 'bad' this is for us.

Probably means it's a little fair... even though I don't like it.

 

[JabbaJabba]

Why Bonino?

Otherwise good job by Murray in keeping the 10th pick (so far atleast) and getting rid of Sbisa who was going nowhere here.

Getzlaf-Kesler-Perreault-???

 

[Static]

I wonder if this means Murray is still looking for another deal with our million prospects

 

[Edo]

Congrats to Anaheim. You guys will enjoy Kesler and I can't imagine how awesome he'll be with some support throughout the lineup. The last time he had decent line mates he potted 41 goals.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Guess they're really in love with Karlsson/Rakell, because this trade doesn't make us any deeper at center.

No, but it makes us better as a team. It absolutely sucks to lose Bonino, but Van clearly wanted a guy who can play now and play well.

 

[Exit Dose]

Sentimentally sad, but objectively approve.

Yeah, that's where I'm at, too. This is a good trade for us, and Bones eases the loss for them.

 

[Doothpick]

Sentimentally sad, but objectively approve.

My exact feelings.
