Care cup.

huh?

I mean I'm not upset but huh?

Impending UFA that likely wanted more money or higher role than the team was going to give him. I vaguely suspected this when they acquired him. Obviously you'd wish for more of a return, but I guess prices were so low this year.

 

[KeninsFan]

When we got him I was so elated because he's an AV type puckmover.

Him and Edler looked solid so it's no wonder he got scratched and subsequently traded. I really hate our new system/direction.

Ah UFA.
I didn't realize that aspect. Makes sense.

Ok time to focus our attention on a tank, then haha

Weise>5th rounder

 

[RobertKron]

Weise>5th rounder

The 5th rounder hasn't requested a trade yet.

 

[Raincouver]

Another Mike Gillis success story.

 

[m9]

No surprise, was purely a stopgap here.

 

[PG Canuck]

So the point of reading Weise was.....?

 

[Barney Gumble]

Weise>5th rounder

Weise=waiver wire type of guy

 

[Jimson Hogarth*]

The 5th rounder hasn't requested a trade yet.

nice one!

 

[RobertKron]

Another Mike Gillis success story.

What was unsuccessful? They turned a disgruntled 4th liner into a defenseman when the whole D group was injured, and then moved him instead of losing him for nothing on July 1.

To move a guy that wanted a trade, and to have a defenseman in the lineup when they were all hurt.

 

[Barney Gumble]

Seriously, Weise was a 4th liner and still is a 4th line *winger* with the Habs. These guys are a 'dime a dozen'. Canucks needed a stop-gap move because of injuries and got Diaz for Weise. You're not going to be getting a great D man for a 4th line *winger* - he is what he is, a warm body to fill the lineup.

On top of that, he's a 4th liner who, IIRC, it had become public knowledge had requested a trade. Crybabies gonna cry, and be babies, I suppose.

Guys like Dalpe wish they were 15 point 4th liners like weise. Rarer than you think and certainly better than some of the trash currently on this team (archibald)

 

[TheWanderer]

Wtf not like he could ask for much money... Stupid...

 

[Bgav]

Good deal

How about waiting until he actually hits that point total once before proclaiming he's a 15 point 4th line winger.

 

[RobertKron]

He's a UFA. He'd certainly be asking for more than the Canucks want to pay him. Move him for something instead of nothing.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Really glad we committed to either tanking or making the playoffs.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

 

[fancouver]

From an asset perspective…well done!

Waivers
Weise
Diaz
5th Rounder

We gained a free pick.


Likelihood of this pick becoming a Hansen or Corrado-type player?
