Suitcase he has become

I'm shocked they dealt him away... on the move again.. poor guy

Something about Guddy in Nashville just fits. Good luck to him.

 

[BonMorrison]

Sick deadline, Poile.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

It's like Gudbranson is hot potato all of a sudden.

 

[AvatarAang]

Gudbranson is younger than Coburn, Classic Lou with the overpayment.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Feel bad for Guddy, Ottawa kid and just became a dad a couple days back

IMO it's clear Ottawa refused to retain salary and got a worse return because of that. I could've seen a number of teams paying a 3rd + B-prospect with 50% retain.

Wonder if Ottawa looks to bring him back in the off season. Wouldn’t mind him as a 6/7.

In case anyone was wondering what time the boards crashed this deadline; Here you go, folks!

PS. Un-friggin-believable someone still gives up some kind of asset for Gudbrandson

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Good return !

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Gud trade Poile, gud trade.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne the best I could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.

-some hockey player, probably. Also Poe.

I'm guessing you don't watch Sens games...Gudbranson is putrid; I can count on my fingers the times he's done something that wasn't egregiously bad

Deadline, Draft and July 1st. Like clockwork

That settles it. Fire Dorion. Some habs fan decided that gudbranson should have fetched more than he did.

Yeah, I feel for him and his wife big time. He's got a 1 week old newborn to boot.

A 3rd??? Have you watched him play this year?

Gudbranson is younger than Coburn, Classic Lou with the overpayment.

What does it matter? both are UFA’s after this season anyway.
Age in this scenario doesn’t matter whatsoever

Why are NHL teams still paying anything for Gudbranson?

Wouldn't want him back at league minimum for free.

You make a lot of money in this league being 6'4" or being a high draft pick.

He's both.

He was drafted 3rd overall so that will get him a million chances to succeed. Also has a random season where looks good on the 3rd pairing which buys him time.

Finally he is big and physical while being drafted 3rd overall. He will keep getting chances as a “reclamation” project.

The problem is the owner. Take a deep breath you're doing fine.

Yes, he had to play to many minutes agaisnt other teams top players or second line players and didn't look too good. But, big and mean defensemen are still valuable in the league, just not at 4M on a flat cap.
