Post-Game Talk: Trade Deadline 2019: Public Enemy #1 is gone! Holy ****! (Dahlen too) That's about it...

[Zombotron]

Fiala for the good Granlund ???
Damn, Preds’s GM is a magician

Dunno about his former AGM though...

 

[sting101]

Too bad about Dahlen. I had high hopes, but he couldn’t even match Goldobin’s pace in Utica.

this is an important distinction especially considering @Bad Goalie @MS @orcatown and @Margeterio Llamas had documented how poor he was 5v5 and was being gifted offensive situations. He's a 97 born also.

Was actually hoping for a Juolevi Dahlen for Fabbro anda draft pick deal

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Pearson is still only 26 ?? wow
3.75m until 2021, basically a Baertschi clone if Sven ends up on LTIR

 

[geebaan]

When you realize your GM onlytraded Gudbranson because he thinks Tanner Pearson is a legitimate top 6 forward....

 

[Melvin]

Apparently, Dahlen's agent asked for a trade, so it doesn't necessarily indicate a change in Benning's strategy, as it could very well have been that his hand was forced.

If true, that does change things slightly but doesn't change the fact that they targetted a teenager over another 25 year old "ready to play in the NHL RIGHT NOWWWW!!!!!!!!" that they've been obsessing over since 2014 so it's still a clear shift IMO.

This makes it sound like they ruined any chances by giving him so little time to decide to me personally when you combine this with Murphy's tweet.

Bottom line is its frankies team and cash and he can do anything he wants with it.
Unless you got a spare billion in your back pocket then perhaps you're not worth discussing this because you got nothing frankies interested in except your sports entertainment dollars .
It's a business and corporationsl ike this have always been about the bottom line PROFIT.

Ok since you want to discuss this as a business and not about winning a cup go take your analysis to the business board. We can there discuss the return on investments but on here we are discussing how these moves affect winning a cup.
[MOD]

 

[StreetHawk]

Is that a player you want around the team? Someone who doesn't care about winning a cup?

I would say no personally. But on this board Kesler gets a tonne of hate cause he wanted to go and win. He had a full ntc and exercised it. Return for him would have been fine if the Canucks were focused on a rebuild which is what you do when your sleek trophy caliber 2C wants out and you’ve dealt both your top goalies. Don’t take a 24 year old Dman when a 19 year is available with bigger upside.

Can’t seem to win on this board.

And if people bring up burrows waiving he signed a 2 year $5 million deal with Ottawa immediately and got bought out after year 1. He did well for himself.

There's just something hilarious about this photo that I can't put my finger on.

 

[Wo Yorfat]

Will be funny to see the Benning Bros flip on Dahlen now that he’s been traded

They're busy editing/deleting all Dahlen related posts.

Kinda weird that he's by himself.

Or even better you can go back to cdc

So when confronted with reason that you have no answer to you go on the attack.
I thought we were having a adult discussion here but apparently not.

3 - 4 days ago, obviously Edler is not going to waive. Like comon man.
you would think a GM with a rebuilding team would approach his vet D about the possibility of waive the NTC in the start of the year and ask for a list of teams that he would be interested in going to.

Says the guy asking if I have a billion dollars or my opinion is worthless

It may be a a team of hockey heros to us but to billionaires its a business to make money with.

No Linden beside him to answer questions like a politician

In this case if you aint owning this team then you or i have no say why is that do hard to understand

Like it or not this board is about the fan side of the organization.

They aren’t a bunch of heroes to me but a source of entertainment and the best entertainment for me will be a Stanley cup not a first round exit.


If you want to discuss the moves through a business lens understand that it’s a different analysis and I assume your bringing the financial numbers to do so

Well you said a pretty silly thing. You cant pull it back in to adult discussion land just like that honey cakes.

LOL classic Moj on the Team 1040, repeating what Taylor just said.

Was he ever going to leave as a pure rental? Doesn’t sound like he was. Pretty much all of the Canucks who had ntc who got moved either had term like garrison, Kesler, Hansen or they got new deals upon being traded like burrows and bieksa.

Seems like Canucks players love this city too much to want to leave it.

Good day for Vancouver. I bet you The family is very happy they got rid of $8 million dollars in salary . Benning going to be invited for pasta tonight

Uh, they also had to take back over 7 million in salary to unload him. Yeah, he'll invite him for a long ride.

Doesn't this actually cost Aqua more money? Salary cap is different from salary paid. Gudbranson is owed 4.5 million next year and 3 million the year after for a total of 7.5m pay.

Pearson is owed 3.85m in each of the following two years for a total of...7.7m pay.
