[Royal Canuck]

Just coming off of @VanCanucks, I'll follow it up here. Formal announcement expected shortly.

(9:29am PST) VanCanucks: #Canucks have acquired defenceman Raphael Diaz from Montreal in exchange for Dale Weise. Formal announcement to follow.

I like this move, Weise was doing nothing for us.

(9:45am PST) Oops, the announcement is expected shortly, not tomorrow. Almost all of the insiders have reported this deal as done by now.

Didn't see that coming.

Who's going to be our fastest skater now? D:

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Um ok.

I'm not bothered either way but I'll say the Canucks win this trade.

Edit: It's "Bold Moves" Gillis time!

 

[y2kcanucks]

Diaz isn't bad

 

[Galchenioretty]

Habs fan, Diaz is underrated. Good move for Vancouver

 

[EpochLink]

No more Weise

Thank god

Next up, Booth!

 

[phillipsj89]

lol. Decent value for weise. Doesnt make much sense, we need offense.

 

[Phrazer]

Unbelievably happy with this. I'm sorry Habs fans, Weise is awful.

Also: Dominos for Vancouver defence trade, or simply filling in for injury?

 

[Taelin]

We managed to get a roster player for Weise!

 

[MrShift4]

I bet Weber is pissed.
Didn't Diaz bump him from the lineup in Mtl?

 

[Verviticus]

what the **** is this? goddamnit

 

[PhilMick]

Hey another Olympian!

You guys will like Diaz. Therrien completely misused him.

Awful deal for the Habs.

 

[The Horvatian One]

Good move. Diaz is actually decent. Sauve also recalled...

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

All we need now are Leonardo, Donatello and Michelangelo and we're set!

 

[Verviticus]

You guys will like Diaz. Therrien completely misused him.

Awful deal for the Habs.

there's a very small chance the canucks will appropriately use him

 

[Royal Canuck]

Now we deal Booth for Renè Bourque!

 

[Ziostilon]

Can he make it in time for tonight's game so Sauve doesn't have to dress

 

[Verviticus]

by the way, formal announcement to follow, not tomorrow

Awful deal for the Habs.

You guys will like Weise.

He's a fast skater and he blocks fists with chin.

Gillis fleeces Bergevin.

He tries, he misses a lot, but it makes a big bang when he hits the boards. Maybe this is a precursor to you guys hiring a Sutter?
