Welcome, newest Jimbo addition.

Still don't get where they're going to fit all of these mediocre players. As of now they have the rights to 11 waiver eligible forwards for next season (12 if you count Grenier) plus Horvat, McCann, and Virtanen.

 

[geebaan]

Well, I don't like the trade, but I won't let that effect my thoughts on the player. Here is hoping he can be better than Linden Vey, cause I am kind of presuming, by what I have seen and read about him, thats his ceiling.

 

[Nuckles]

Oh boy, yet another mediocre bottom 6 forward who isn't doing too well lately. He'll fit in great. He's also garbage at faceoffs (sub 45%) so we can look forward to that if he's playing center.

 

[M2Beezy]

So welcome for a guy whose getting worse in production worse against competition. Hopefully he competes well with dorset vey and other awful plugs on the 4th line. What a joke what a bum cant believe we have this guy on are team

 

[Tryamkin]

Congrats Jimbo, you've really done it again.

Amazing Center depth:


Sedin
Horvat
Sutter
McCann
Vey
Granlund
Cracknell
Freisen

 

[EpochLink]

If this move gets Vey out of here, then so be it.

 

[Verviticus]

hes a plug that is arguably not an nhl player right now

 

[Tryamkin]

If this move gets Vey out of here, then so be it.

That's the only glimmer of hope I have for this deal. I'm just hoping that it means Vey is gone..

Gaunce is a centre again too

 

[Tiranis]

The problem with Granlund is that he's not even better than Vey. So yeah...

 

[opendoor]

That's the only glimmer of hope I have for this deal. I'm just hoping that it means Vey is gone..

I'd take Vey and Shinkaruk over Granlund.

 

[Knight53]

****ing Vey 2.0 fml

 

[m9]

He had his best AHL season in Abbotsford, so we must have some people around here who saw him play there regularly. Anyone have season tickets?

 

[Sakic]

I really just want someone who can win faceoffs. Is that so much to ask?

Don't worry, they will move Gaunce out because he is not drafted by Benning.

 

[WhiteCurse]

Another soft euro

 

[VanillaCoke]

He wont be on the roster to start 2017.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Due to this wise guy I have a new name.

 

[dwarf]

Can we trade Vey and Granlund for Shinkaruk please?

 

[Tobi Wan Kenobi]

Due to this wise guy I have a new name.

 

[CraigsList]

I think you guys are souring a bit on Granlund. I think he will be better than Baertschi.

Not sure why you gave us Hunter, but Granlund has good potential imo.

 

[FroshaugFan2]

Hopefully he's better than Vey. Hopefully the Canucks don't lose a decent player to keep him on their roster next season. Hopefully he isn't given a ridiculous raise this summer.

 

[Nucker101]

Sounds like Vey 2.0


Hopefully he's better. Sucks for him because 90% of the fanbase dislikes this trade.

 

[Nucker101]

Due to this wise guy I have a new name.

Wouldn't surprise me if he's the next prospect traded.


Don't think Benning likes Gaunce as much as some of us do either.
