TSN: [ANA/VAN] Ryan Kesler for Nick Bonino, Luca Sbisa, 24th OA

[theripper]

good riddance.

 

[Finkle is Einhorn]

Botchford claims we had 17 better offers on the table but Kesler was adamant.

**** him.

Should have kept him and sent him home.

*Better offers for 17.

 

[Dezmoto]

I think Bonino is crying on the radio.....not tears of joy either.

It sounds like he's walking somewhere or something. But I wouldn't blame him, he just got traded from a cup contender to a rebuilding team.

 

[Drop the Sopel]

wow couldn't even get a decent prospect

They will in an hour. This deal will probably look better then.

Remember there are fans that want Shinkaruk to be basically untouchable and he went 24th a year ago...

How the **** would Botchford know that? I hate Botch. His tweets should be banned from hfboards.

He has the same tone in his voice people do when they have just lost a loved one. I feel bad for him.

God I hope they don't try to get 1st overall...they'll probably butcher that one too.

 

[DennisReynolds]

Just out curiosity, who are going to be Kesler's linemates as of right now? It'd be hilarious if he still gets **** linemates

 

[y2kcanucks]

God I hope they don't try to get 1st overall...they'll probably butcher that one too.

You don't want the Canucks to pick up a great prospect? That's strange.

Silverberg/Etem/Cogliano/Palmiere. He is still going to have a bunch of junky tweener linemates.

 

[BobbyJazzLegs]

God I hope they don't try to get 1st overall...they'll probably butcher that one too.

And how exactly would they do that? Jesus Christ.

 

[Drop the Sopel]

God I hope they don't try to get 1st overall...they'll probably butcher that one too.

Would love to see them get that pick and roll out Reinhart and Bonino next season.

Wouldn't care if they overpaid either. Those are deals you virtually never live to regret.

 

[Dezmoto]

He has the same tone in his voice people do when they have just lost a loved one. I feel bad for him.

Yeah, well he just had his world rocked a week before his wedding, that would be rough.

 

[Canucker]

You don't want the Canucks to pick up a great prospect? That's strange.

And if that "great prospect" isn't Sam Reinhart, will your tune change? If we send Tanev, Shinkaruk, #6 and who knows what else?

Buddy calm down Bonino isn't Gretzky and could certainly be part of a regrettable trade.

 

[LolClarkson*]

Bonino was shook up in his interview just now. Understandable I guess. He should have turned down the interview if he wasn\'t comfortable

 

[just22]

*Better offers for 17.

Not the first time I see that mistake. Seriously, just say "RK" ffs. Morons.

 

[Jimson Hogarth*]

He'd better get ready, my expectation is 25-25 taking on Keslers minutes.

 

[Blue Suede Shoes]

I think Bonino is crying on the radio.....not tears of joy either.

Is it really bad that I enjoy him suffering at the thought of having to join this nightmare? Welcome to the other side of the fence. Where the grass isn't actually greener. It's pavement.

 

[Canucker]

I'd be willing to bet they'd regret it if they overpaid (ie Shinkaruk, #6 and Tanev).

 

[Sharpshooter]

And if that "great prospect" isn't Sam Reinhart, will your tune change? If we send Tanev, Shinkaruk, #6 and who knows what else?

If it's Ekblad instead, then I for one, would be just as happy.

 

[Blue Suede Shoes]

It sounds like he's walking somewhere or something. But I wouldn't blame him, he just got traded from a cup contender to a rebuilding team.

To a bridge?

 

[John Bender*]

It sounds like he's walking somewhere or something. But I wouldn't blame him, he just got traded from a cup contender to a rebuilding team.

Maybe a brisk walk to his therapists office for an emergency session.

 

[Canucker]

If it's Ekblad instead, then I for one, would be just as happy.

I'm not surprised.

I'm really starting to hate that guy
