According to Dorion Burrows declined trades to some teams in Ottawa's division. Wonder which teams and what the returns would have been?

I can only think 8 months of staring at this was all Dorion could handle.

Let's just be glad because I can't see it being better than this for us.

I love the trade also from a standpoint of loading up Utica.

Having a good center prospect in Utica will have trickledown effects for other prospects too. It'll be incredibly smart for us to just stack Utica with good prospects next year. Let them cook.

Not a centerman. Is a winger, will be a winger at the next level.

I'd side-eye a written source that claims he is still a C. They probably only went to hockeydb and went with what was there.

No doubt, but it's always fun to speculate. Obviously Montreal didn't get declined by Burrows. Maybe Boston? Toronto? Florida?

I think Burrows made this trade hence why we actually won a trade for once. He's grooming himself to be in Canucks management in a few years.

 

[NoShowWilly]

well hopefully burrows makes this a win win and we see a few upsets in the playoffs with burrows heroics.

 

[PhilMick]

Dahlen is exactly 5 feet and 11.25 inches, listed at 176 pounds at the combine

Wtf I just spent like 20 minutes looking for his Combine results, you got a link?

 

[CanaFan]

Now, I'm a bit more content after this trade - as are many.

Icing on the cake would be.. anything for MillerTime.

I'm happy keeping Hansen until next years deadline.

He would be worth a lot more.

So you keep Hansen and expose one of Baertschi or Granlund?

Not that I'd be that heartbroken about losing Granlund but it seems to make more sense to get a rental return for Hansen now (i.e. Team values him as a rental cause of expansion draft) than wait a year to get a rental return anyway.

Every team exposes a couple of good players and we expose Granlund and Sbisa. Lol
Vegas is going to ****ing hate us.

Perfectly fine too, I don't know much about the kid except he's put up good numbers.

Still a good player to have in Utica nonetheless.

Probably the Leafs he hates them

If it forces Vegas into taking Sbisa that's a huge bonus.

For sure he said no ****ing way to the leafs, and boston.

 

[CherryToke]

Benning saying this is a fair trade for both teams makes me cringe because I feel like he's being genuine.

 

[CanaFan]

Hehe, well I don't think we can *force* them to choose Sbisa out of all the guys we expose, though it'd be awesome if we could.

 

[HighAndTight]

Thanks for the memories

 

[GranvilleIsland]

Well Dahlen is all potential right now still a lot to prove before we should get too excited. I don't think it's a stretch to say it's a fair trade rentals are always expensive when the market is like this. I'd say it's risky for Ottawa but if Dahlen busts or they go on a long run they won't give a damn.

Because it would have been super classy to come out and constantly brag about you fleeced Dorion in this trade? Very professional. Come on man, he's not Trump.

You never want to give another club bulletin board material. You act like you've been there before. Complement the other team and move on.

I love Burrows.

 

[dwarf]

Good trade, this is a big shift for this teams philosophy and pleases this fan immensely.

Oh Jesus the one freaking time someone spells complement this way...

 

[VancouverJagger]

Hallleh - fricking - luuuuyahhh...........Jimbo did a gooder......

This ought to buy him at least 37 minutes of grace time before the wolves start in again.......

Please for the love of God keep SELLING.......LIQUIDATE!!! I would have been happy if one of the 3 - Hansen, Burrows, or Miller got traded. If he can do 2 - OMG - I'm dong cartwheels over here.

 

[RobertKron]

This'll play. Good on ya, Benning.

Dahlen is a winger, but otherwise I agree its time to fill Utica with good prospects, and play them in big roles down there
