My response:

 

[valkynax]

Hmm, what is the purpose of this trade?

 

[Verviticus]

thankfully jim bennings streak of "a guy who might be learning" is in the trash now

 

[stuffradio]

Who is Nic Dowd and why did I have to lose my Subban?

 

[Josepho]

Subban's taken a big step backwards in the AHL this year, but I still wish he was given at least one NHL game.

I don't exactly see the point of this trade but it's exceedingly likely going to turn out as nothing.

I wonder if the Horvat injury had any influence on this decision.

 

[VanCanucks53]

Doubt this trade has any significance now or years down the road.

 

[MS]

Subban was never going to get a chance here but trading him for a junk 4th liner like this is a waste.

Incredibly frustrating he was never tried at forward.

I really don't think Dowd is any better than Chaput.

 

[Askel]

Meh, getting a another 4th liner. But hey ,at least Chaput can go back to being Uticas No 1 center

 

[Verviticus]

a high risk medium reward traded for a low risk zero reward. lol

Horvat going down with Sutter already out is probably why they made this trade

 

[wonton15]

Maybe Subban asked for a change of scenery (trade). Wish he got at least a game but he just doesn't have the defensive game

 

[vancityluongo]

@Baby Subban sorry

 

[FroshaugFan2]

Sucks that the Canucks have to throw away a prospect because they couldn't acquire depth during the off season.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

There’s Utica’s #1 Center. Wish Subban was given a shot

 

[ATypicalCanadian]

Subban was never going to get a chance here sadly. All the best of luck to him and I hope he makes the NHL to prove Benning wrong.

 

[Nuckles]

What? No draft pick thrown in going to LA?

 

[Melvin]

Happy for Subban. Hope it's not too late for him to salvage his career.

 

[Hansen]

Not given a single goddamn chance with this organization. f*** this team

 

[m9]

Probably a Chaput level guy, meaning we're essentially talking about a minor-league trade here.

 

[DFAC]

Also could be a Dorsett replacement

 

[clunk]

Well, we knew he was never going to get a chance here being a Gillis prospect. Too bad.

Hopefully he shines in LA

 

[racerjoe]

Yeah, probably a nothing trade, I just wish we had given JS an actual chance in the NHL.

 

[Uhmkay]

Not given a single goddamn chance with this organization. **** this team

Didn't deserve one.

 

[Sol]

Honest Subban assessment?
