Confirmed with Link: [VAN/OTT] Anders Nilsson, Darren Archibald traded for Tom Pyatt, Mike McKenna, 6th Round Pick in '19

[ZEBROA]

He seems like a streaky guy. Put up stretches last year where he played very well before coming back to earth.

I think he has potential but consistency has been an issue for him. I hope he does well and finds it.

Without knowing i feel like better consistency should be the easiest thing to improve. Specialy if he was realy bad at it before. I think he deserves to at least get a try at being a starter. Markstrom play so much games so Nilsson is not realy needed in Vancouver. I am just glad Lundqvist aint the only Swedish starting goalie.

 

[Zippgunn]

Nilsson seem to do well this far in Ottawa.

What a shock; gets traded to the worst team in hockey and, hey presto, his save % goes up 28 points and his GAA drops by half a goal. It's almost like they know how to play a backup goalie to their advantage...

 

[F A N]

Nilsson has in the past had good stretches of play, whether it was in Edmonton, Buffalo, or here in Vancouver. The problem is his game would completely collapse all of a sudden and not recover. It's possible that he's the type that simply needs to be given the #1 spot with no "push" from behind him to be at his best or be given at least a 1A/1B role where he doesn't need to compete for starts.

He's also beating all the teams the Canucks are in a wildcard race with. The Sens had a successful road trip in California and just did the Canucks another huge favour beating Dallas last night. All with Nilsson in net. That was shrewd trade, having the foresight to deal Nilsson to Ottawa who just beat 3 teams in the wildcard race, as well as clearing $2.5 off the books and while getting a 6th round pick and Pyatt for Archibald which solves Utica's centre issue. Then to bring the trade win streak to 12, he deals DelZotto who wouldn't have cleared waivers anyway. He gets a pick and Schenn who's already in the minors so the Canucks don't have to waive him, he'll report directly to Utica. JB's trading has improved, no one can deny that.

His trading has gone from an outright F to a D+. Sure, you could call it improvement, but when you are a bottom-3 trading GM it's pretty easy to improve.

Calm down bro, it's time to take a break

 

[UnleashRasmus]

This trade got rid of excess that was not going to be re-signed. Ultimately, the Canucks decided to move from Nilsson at the expense of Archibald. The pick is an asset that they can use. Pyatt expires, so all in all it's just the pick.

 

[hellstick]

I hope we get McKenna back. Not to take Demko's job, but he seems to be a good guy. I guess Philly isn't far removed from Utica.

A couple of hoops to jump through first.

 

[I am toxic]

Not sure why everyone is so angry about this

It was a minor trade with results we wanted and seems is nothing more. Ottawa gets a chance to lessend their chances of winning the lottery for Colorado... so.... small win win???

Are you becoming more sure?

You mean like Markstrom...

You mean like Markstrom...

Nope. Markstrom recovers when he's not overworked.

 

[timw33]

Just put up a 45 save shutout and is 2.23 GAA .934 sv% in 9GP for the Sens (stats before tonights SO).

Well worth the late pick they gave up.

 

[Ryan Miller*]

Reminiscent of his first 3 games with the Canucks in which he posted 2 shutouts, before teams realized you don't have to shoot around him, you can shoot through him.

Yes. Ottawa has gained some ground and are 3 points from being last overall.

 

[Josepho]

it was still a relatively stupid trade for ottawa it just might end up being worse asset management for us.

 

[Rowlet]

the trade is still fine.... but I miss archie
