Confirmed with Link: [VAN/OTT] Canucks trade F Alex Burrows to OTT for F Jonathan Dahlén

[thepuckmonster]

NGL I'm still sad Burrows is going but Ottawa is like the one Canadian team I don't hate so it's good I guess.

 

[The Stig]

I misread it.

 

[Horrorshow]

I don't hate this!

Really liked Dahlen from what I saw at the WJCs.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Uhh Benning did something good!? What in tarnation!

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Next stop..... Ring of Honour?

Has to be. Heart and soul for a decade, scored the biggest goals in Canucks history (not saying much)

 

[DapperZ]

Wow Benning you did a good.

I agree!

 

[Knight53]

Did we add any picks?? Or is it straight up?

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Dahlen and a second apparently.

It doesnt hurt any less.

seriously we get a 2nd too ???

source?

 

[Dissonance]

Absolutely gutted to see Burrows leave and would've liked to extend him and see him retire here, but... this seems like a decent trade.

Dahlen and a second apparently.

Tweet?

Sign and trade probably had an effect on the value, but if this is what it is straight up then that's finally a very good deal for Benning. Also goes to show like Bieksa that Burrows had more value than people would think.

Slightly off topic, but this is what I've been talking about in other threads in regards to a Hansen trade with the expansion draft. I haven't looked at the full list, but Ottawa is a potential playoff team that has the protection room to add a forward without much of a fuss. They're not going to have a problem protecting Burrows here.

 

[Blueangel1891]

No way Benning made this deal

 

[The Stig]

Tweet?

It was on dailyhive which was linked by the fox. Ill get on my laptop and find it.

 

[Nucker101]

I'll miss Burr

Nice trade though, I've read it's straight up. A 2nd on top would be amazing, but Ottawa can't be that stupid.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Bending you beauty

 

[Rotting Corpse*]

First and foremost - I think that's a strong return for Burrows. I'm equal parts pleased and impressed.

But more than that, I'm pretty melancholy. Burrows is one of my favorite players to ever put on a Canuck uniform. Seemed like he was involved in every big goal and moment that this team had for the last 12 years. To see him not only ship out, but also sign an extension and thereby close the door on coming back here to finish his career...that's tough.

He'll always be the biggest rags to riches story of inspiration this team has had, and he'll always be our Dragon Slayer. All the best in Ottawa, Burr. They're lucky to have you.

Yeah well said.

I was hoping he'd be dealt to the rangers but at least I can root for Ottawa now.

Can't argue with the return though. This is the first legit prospect Jim has acquired in trade. Thumbs up.

 

[thegutter]

awesome as long as we didnt add anything. Dahlen is prob our 5th best prospect now

 

[Rotting Corpse*]

I am so jaded by the last few years that I keep expecting a report that Dahlen is injured or refuses to play in north America or something.

 

[JanBulisPiggyBack]

I'm still waiting to hear we have added a pick

BUT

reports are Ottawa is throwing in a 2nd?????? I feel like its too good to be true

 

[Nuckles]

Dahlen plays on Elias Pettersson's wing on Timrå IK. Just throwing that out there.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Credit where credit is due, I like this trade. Need more moves like this.

 

[Nucker101]

Entire Canuck fan base right now:

E5, he has the Mumps.

Someone's probably confusing the fact that Dahlen was a 2nd round pick last year.

 

[Intoewsables]

Dahlen and a second apparently.

It doesnt hurt any less.

You sure it's not Burrows and a second? I'm still in awe that Jim got such a nice return for Burrows. Without a doubt his best move yet.
