GMJB moves so far - HF grades

[mossey3535]

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

GRADE: B-

I think this a decent return and addition by subtraction. Kesler needed to go - he didn't make his teammates better and he was a constant source of drama in the last year. Only thing is I don't understand how we didn't get the 10th and no Sbisa maybe.

~

[VAN/TB] Jason Garrison, 7th in 2015, Jeff Costello for TB's 2nd (50th OA) ‎

GRADE: C-

You don't trade top-4 defencemen for a 2nd rounder, let alone throw in marginal assets to boot. Sure, trade Garrison but get at least two second rounders and don't throw in extra picks/assets to sweeten an already sweet deal.

~

[NYR/VAN] Derek Dorsett to VAN for 85th Overall

GRADE: C

A fourth liner isn't worth a 3rd round pick. I think Dorsett is a decent fit and a good pickup, but at $1.6M there was no way we should have paid a 3rd rounder.

~

Not re-signing Santorelli (if true)

GRADE: F

No risk, high reward for a versatile player, he wants to stay, seems like a no-brainer.

I actually like what Benning is doing here but he is getting fleeced.

Kesler trade: B

Garrison trade: B+

Dorsett trade: C.

 

[dave babych returns]

Fire Jim Benning.. he said Kesler's value would be highest at the trade deadline and then traded him at the draft. Is he incompetent or just a liar like his boss?

Come 5 oclock, I might actually miss Gillis.

JB, reminds me of AC Slater's old girlfriend.

 

[Bgav]

B plus

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Ya i'm not going to rate the trades a couple hours after they happen...

 

[a Fool]

Kesler wanted out and then had a 2 team list... really tough spot. I don't like the return, but you have to take that into consideration.

Garry deal idk. Will judge this one based on how JB uses the cap space.

Dorsett: overpayment, but not terribly. Good 4th liner.

ahahaha pretty much

 

[SnapIt]

Come 5 oclock, I might actually miss Gillis.

During the draft?!. That's exactly where we don't miss him.

This board is sounding like CDC

 

[TheWanderer]

Totally. I hope he shows up on 1040 and tells us what he was offered for Kesler.

Had to double check I wasn't on CDC with all the comments today

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Give the moves time....jeez people. Benning is obviously rebuilding unless he goes nuts on free agency:

Apparently much more moves to come at the draft for Van city..

 

[bo2shink*]

Fire Jim Benning.. he said Kesler's value would be highest at the trade deadline and then traded him at the draft. Is he incompetent or just a liar like his boss?

Lol if serious. Lol if sarcastic. So, lol.

 

[Master Radishes]

At this point in time I like the Kesler trade well enough, see the necessity of the Garrison cap dump although I don't like it, and think the Dorsett deal is outright stupid.

 

[nameless1]

Right now...
Based on these trades...
I have no hopes for the draft..
So I will give him a F.

He may change my mind after the draft...
But I am not optimistic.

 

[MikeK]

Ya i'm not going to rate the trades a couple hours after they happen...

Agreed. Besides, for me, it all comes down to his drafting abilities and how he handles UFA signings. If he goes out and completely over pays for UFA's I will blow my top. This team is years away from challenging. No way we can get past ANA, CHI or L.A so why even bother. Concentrate on drafting high and developing those players.

 

[Canucks LB]

Kesler C+
The rest are pretty average. D

 

[mrmyheadhurts]

I'm giving him an A+ simply because he's trolled HFBoards like no one ever has or may ever again. Today has been exceedingly entertaining.

 

[canucksfan]

Kesler B - Given the circumstances I think this is a decent trade. What doesn't make sense is getting a player who is very similar to Santorilli who we could have just signed.

Garrison C- - I don't get this one. I think Nucks will pick up a D man that is suited better for the team. Garrison is a redundant but the return on this trade is poor.

Dorsett C - I don't like him and he isn't a good player. He fights and is a pest but can't do anything else.

EDIT Forgot to add what worries me about the JG trade is maybe layers won't take home town discounts now.

No kidding

I think we need a sticky for the suicide watch hotline.
