Possible Kassian Trade.

[Blob Mckenzie*]

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?

I am taking a poke at the posters who think the guy is a mouth breather and will attack him at any opportunity . It's hilarious to watch .

At this point I can't see us getting Eriksson for Kassian. We'd need to add.
And as others have said we need to get younger. We'll probably have to take back another struggling forward. Hopefully some team out there is still enticed by Kassian's potential.

 

[LolClarkson*]

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.

You cant judge the return until some time has played out.

The constant over-rating by the Kassian fans is going to make the (low) return a self fulfilling prophecy.

Kassian, Lack, and Jensen for Hanzal

Over payment. Hanzal is good but he woudln/t cost that much.

Kassian and Lack for Hanzal or Yandle would be good.

Really!?! hmmm so all this hand wringing about other trades Benning has made has been an overreaction? Shocking...

Eriksson for Kassian is an absolute no brainer. I'd be surprised if Benning can pull that off.

Kassian has size, but when is the last time he actually used it? Matthias uses his size much more effectively, and Dorsett is far more of a physical presence. He showed flashes of good play last year, but has been poor this year and just doesn't seem to get it. I like the guy but if we can get this kind of return it's time to pull the trigger.

Eriksson is a 3 time 70 point scorer - admittedly he may not get there anymore but at 29 it's not out of the question. He's shown chemistry with the Sedins and he should be good for 20+ goals.

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

Vey had nothing to prove in the A. Kassian fans are Gillis fans.

Vey had nothing to prove in the A. Kassian fans are Gillis fans.

And has proven nothing in this league.

Despite being only 5 months younger than Kassian.

It was a risky trade but it's too early to know whether or not the Canucks have won/lost that trade.

I don't mind either Kassian or Benning
I'm an entirely new breed

 

[m9]

I could see Kassian to Boston for a prospect more than a roster guy. Khokhlachev and a pick?

Combine that with a trade with Toronto, because I've always thought the Leafs had the pieces that make sense - Lupul and Franson.

 

[rune74]

My god we will regret this if we do this....Kassian has been injured most of the year and the morons are calling for his head.

 

[Orca Whalers]

Boston better be adding if they are consider Erikson for Kassian. Erikson has concussion history problems. We gave up Hodgson for Kassian so I don't even want to trade him unless we're getting a lot back.

You can drink beer and eat popcorn with me while the pillow fight unfolds.

 

[WonderTwinsUnite]

Interesting...

 

[Bures Elbow]

Agreed, unless the return is quality we need to keep Kassian. He's had a rough year in terms of injuries.

Gove him a run when fully healthy.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

Edmonton fans are saying they'd move Yakupov for Kassian +

That's the first time I didn't want to put my head through a brick wall when it comes to Kassian trade talk. I'd do that in a heart beat and run away laughing.

Both Matthias and dorsett are much older than kassian who's still developing. It's a sign of foolish impatience to trade kassian for an older declining player at this point.

I completely agree. Probably Lack as the +?
