[ProstheticConscience]

Yeah, why not.

 

[Canucks LB]

4 assists in 7 games

 

[DCantheDDad]

At least we didnt give up a 5th for him

 

[Sharpshooter]

Canucks are Taylor Fe'Done'.

 

[arttk]

No better way to ensure a tank than to sign Oiler castoffs.

 

[jigsaw99]

so Corrado and Clendening going through waivers?

no room for them now.

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

Fedun is really good as a 3rd pairing dman. You guys will really like him. I wish we kept him.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Assuming this is a two-way deal, smart pickup.

 

[nekyvGkOPaiWICTscLl6]

What did we give up?

I get auto-anxiety for any player transactions now.

 

[VC]

Decent depth I guess though most of the Canucks is righthand shot D.

 

[ziploc]

Now we have too many D, unless another trade is in the works (gulp) And if we just let Clendening go, it means we traded Forsling for nothing.

I liked Fedun when he was invited to our camp and was hoping we'd sign him after his College was done. But he picked EDM instead.

He went through a lot going through his injury, so it fits with the perseverance angle this org seems to like.

But i don't know where he fits with all the bodies fighting for the 6-7-8 spots, likely AHL?

 

[tantalum]

Will refrain from judging him as I know little about him. Seems like another #7 D-man type signing.

 

[Ziostilon]

Bobby Sangs replacement i presume

 

[vancityluongo]

Bobby Sangs replacement i presume

Yeah. Good signing for that role.

Between this and Weber, Benning almost had a really good day.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Utica bound is my guess.

Yeah. That's pretty much my thoughts on it as well.

He showed some potential at one point, that injury was really gnarly. But i don't really see where he fits, other than thinking they can slide him down to the AHL for the Comets.

I mean, we've got Corrado, Clendening, Weber already as very fringe RH shooting defencemen. A guy for these young players to "beat out" for a roster spot to maintain an aura of "competition for spots"?

 

[PG Canuck]

Has to be Utica bound.

 

[Huggy]

Canucks are Taylor Fe'Done'.

Yep. The tank is set.

Chychryn for me

 

[Tim McCracken]

Fedun is really good as a 3rd pairing dman. You guys will really like him. I wish we kept him.

Problem is you should really only have one 3rd pairing not a first pairing, half a second and about four sets of 3rd pairing guys.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Has to be Utica bound.

Based on the fact he spent the past 2 seasons in first, Oklahoma City and then second, in Worcester, says he was picked up for Utica. Yes, as already has been stated, probably to replace Sanguinetti. Too bad on that last note.

 

[KahunaBaby]

Has to be Utica bound.

You know you have hit rock bottom when you go out and acquire an ex Oiler defenseman.

 

[Jay Cee]

Since it is likely for our AHL team it seems very fitting it was an Oiler player.

 

[orcatown]

Seemed on a good trajectory before the brutal leg injury. Worth a look. Come full circle back to Vancouver.
