Rumor: Ryan Kesler part IV (End of an era?)

[Addison Rae]

@Hope_Smoke: John Shannon just said on FAN 590 that Anaheim and Vancouver had an agreed upon deal for Kesler at the deadline and Kesler's family nixed it

I am currently listening to hockey central, not sure if he meant Kesler's family, may have be the Aqualini family.

Gonna take this with a grain of salt, Shannon seems pretty hit and miss. I feel like a lot of the Sportsnet guys are like this since they feel the need to keep up with the TSN guys.

I heard something similar. My wife was at a charity event and shared a table with an Aquilini family member who said that the brothers "delayed" the deal until after the season.

...that doesn't make sense

That makes a lot more sense.

do you think benning would take the same deal that gillis would take?

Not sure if Murray offers the same package.

 

[Canuck Luck]

John Shannon is an idiot. I wouldn't trust him unless he is saying something already confirmed. This is a guy who said during the lockout a luongo to Toronto deal was already a done deal and they just had to wait for the lockout to end

Well, it very well could have been done. Burke was fired right after the lockout, so ownership may have nixed it.

 

[Patchey*]

Because that's not who he is. He is a family man whose primary concern is the stability of his immediate family.

There you go. Not much interest in St. Louis for me then.

I agree. Unless we somehow get Tarasenko...

If Bob Murray is to be believed, he said he had made a very generous offer for an "unnamed" forward, but would likely not make the same offer now.

If Gillis was offered Etem, Ottawa's pick and another asset, I don't think the same offer will be on the table.

 

[arsmaster*]

Gabriel Landeskog? Mika Zibanejad? Or do they not count?

I just couldn't remember you ever speaking well of a Swede.

I think Wennberg is a fantastic prospect.

Mackenzie tweeted Garrison may be moved to Tampa or Montreal

Weren't there multiple reports a Luongo deal was in place and the other team got wet feet once the lock out occurred/ended?

You have to think they knew they were going to axe Gillis and didn't want him making any more high level deals.

Whoa... Did not see that coming... I feel bad for Garrison.. He took less money to come to Van and now were shipping him out.. I don't particularly feel he's a great Player but I just feel bad for him he seems like a really cool dude

From Farhan:

Very real possibility of Garrison to Tampa and Kesler to Anahiem happen today. #canucks

Hard to know if he has any legit sources or if he's just hedging his bets and piggybacking on Bob Mckenzie's rumor.

 

[Addison Rae]

Yowza, could be a huge day for the franchise.

If Gillis was offered Etem, Ottawa's pick and another asset, I don't think the same offer will be on the table.

If the deal has changed to Etem, 24th, and another asset (hopefully Theodore… if we're LUCKY Vatanen) then I still make that deal.

I though the deadline deal was mostly picks based? Wasn't it OTT and ANA '14, and ANA '15? Thats good value, but a hard sell to aqua man.

garrison for connolly +other pieces?

Farhan seems to be pretty well connected so I'd say there's definitely a good chance.

Garrison to Tampa is real interesting. Tampa has a lot of good, young pieces.

Farhan doesn't report rumors often, but I think he's usually pretty good for scuttlebutt coming out of Vancouver.

Nothing.

That is disappointing.

The calm before the storm, my friend.

Yeah - but he tends to be more reliable (or at least more connected) on CFL relates stuff than on hockey.

I hardly ever agree with you Mr. C ....but yeah I agree.
