Possible Kassian Trade.

[Addison Rae]

It'll be Eriksson for Kassian, and if his recent play is any indication than it's not half bad for us.

 

[Canucker]

Problem is that his value is extremely low, Canucks might get a 2nd rounder if lucky. Most likely a garbage player + 3rd/4th in return, which is pointless for the Canucks.

Here's hoping there's a GM out there who values him for more than he's worth.

Quick!! Someone give Mike Milbury a GM job somewhere!

 

[arsmaster*]

A 2nd yeah. The fans of Kassian are going to be so disappointed with the return that its not even going to be funny

Of course they are. If the return stinks you don't make the trade.

Only the Kass-haters would be happy with a subpar return which seems ridiculous.

Agreed. Pierre Lebrun>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Hockey insider.

 

[Bleach Clean]

With BOS, only Eriksson really makes sense. He's older, has a questionable contract, but has top6 pedigree. If he wants a top6 forward, and it's BOS, then I'm not sure how Eriksson doesn't come back. The problem lies with this team getting older, and moving Kassian's potential at the worst time.

 

[PM]

Some pretty credible people (Lebrun, McKenzie) have also weighed in weeks ago that they heard possible trade talks between the Canucks and Bruins. This rumour wasn't created out of thin air. It has legs.

Hockey Widow also recently said Kassian is as good as gone and she seems to have the most inside information when it comes to the current regime.

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

Lots of rumors going around. Remember that it's just rumors until its confirmed.

Then why is it thread worthy.

Older, smaller and slower.

Team squeaks into playoffs.

One and done. Aquilini gets his 2 home game revenue and rinse and repeat.

Canucks draft 20+ and get a 3rx/4th liner

yea, two things the canucks can`t get with this trade are older or smaller- that is for certain

 

[petrishriekandgo]

Someone should be sucker punched in the balls if Kassian is traded.

4 different coaches, 3 GM's and 2 organizations... this isn't their failing IF he's traded again, it's his at this point.

How can you be so enamoured with a player that has done so little in this league ?

4.25 for a 50 point two-way winger is not questionable in my opinion. Eriksson for Kassian is great value for us, but you hit the nail on the head with your last sentence, this team is not in a position to be trading future assets for win now pieces.

I`m just hoping TC`s in there videoìng this like Boston recorded video for some of their trades....would be awesome to see the process down the road.

 

[LolClarkson*]

Benning can trade Kass for a 5th and posters will defend that somehow justify it.

I think you are mistaking Benning for Gillis. Kassian has done nothing in this league.

 

[Bad News Benning]

Kassian, Lack, and Jensen for Hanzal

I would be fine with Eriksson for kassian. Guy is not 30 yet and can still score 30 IMO. Him and vrbata are great stop gaps until our youth is ready.

Boston needs to shed cap

4 different coaches, 3 GM's and 2 organizations... this isn't their failing IF he's traded again, it's his at this point.

He was 21 and 22 with his first two coaches. Of course he had some growing pains with them. The third coach got the most out of him and the fourth one never gave him a chance. The first GM traded him for what they thought was a clear upgrade and the second GM obviously liked him since he acquired him. Kassian's not as stupid as you guys think. He clearly knows whats going on and sees guys like Vey get spoonfed prime minutes while his great second half last year gets called out by Benning as not mattering because we sucked. At least Benning's sheep will be happy because clearly that is all that matters.

Kassian's in danger of hitting Steve Bernier territory if he doesn't wake up soon. Getting bounced around from team to team.
At age 24 you have to start to show some progress. He's taken a step back again this year.
I'm tired of the litany of excuses for this guy.

 

[Blob Mckenzie*]

Or he could get Madison Bowey and a 2nd and other posters would complain that he once said meat and potatoes or has a bad salad .

Or people could just eat popcorn and watch the chicken littles duke it out with the Benning boosters . I got a big bucket of popcorn .

It's questionable given his recent concussion history. It's one of those things where you just never know when the other shoe will drop.

But healthy, yes, you are right.

Ya... Benning trades 2nds and 3rds for guys that have done nothing in this league

If Benning got Madison Bowey alone for Kassian he would be instantly redeemed in many peoples eyes. However he hasn't done anything close to that yet so why would we give him credit for a move he hasn't and most likely never will complete?

Relax . As someone who has known the Wids for fifteen years her batting average is nothing to write home about . Everyone freaking out before anything happens.

 

[Jimson Hogarth*]

Hopefully Benning and co are the ones leaking these rumours to see if they can raise interest a bit an get a little more out of Boston or whomever.

You can also move Eriksson at next years deadline for future pieces if we're out of contention.
