Lets not let our hate bias effect our judgement on players here. My gut is the intangibles of line matching ability, size, SKATING, character, and being younger beat out the more skilled Bonino in Vancouver's eyes. Our own team went a LONNGGGGG way this year with not a lot of "skilled" players. Lets not be hypocrites.
Each team has needs, trading the same guy for the same guy doesnt improve anybody's team. RMBR, Vancouver obviously has a plan to sign Sutter long term as a part of their core, and perhaps they didnt like the long term fit of Bonino on their team for any number of reasons.
