[Trade] Canucks trade Bieksa to the Ducks for a 2nd

[1qqaaz]

This second will probably be pretty late. I'm guessing around 55th.

[Hockey]

Bieksa is probably going to be a 5th-6th D. This won't make Anaheim any worse, but it also won't make them better. I'm just happy we got a 2nd for him.

[Roof-Daddy]

Bieksa now the Ducks highest paid Dman for the upcoming season.

Benning's first good trade

[Flacker]

And the Ducks become a strong front runner for my most hated team. They just need to acquire Burrows for a trifecta of jackasses.

[HelloHockeyFans]

That's a steal by the Canucks even though the 2nd is going to be a low one.

Remember when we traded career AHL'er Sven for a 2nd rounder? Good times. Great work by Treliving if you compare it to this trade.

[GreenLantern]

Guessing they plan to take a run at Oduya tomorrow.. maybe the consolation prize is Ehrhoff, he played well last time he was there.

As bad as Bieksa was for the Nucks in our series I have to say that Sbisa was even worse..

Lol, they got a 2nd rounder for an aging slug. You're seriously trying to be critical about this deal?

That's my impression. Probably signs a deal as a UFA with another team.

Lots of speculation around the Vancouver area that Ehrhoff signing with the Canucks is as good as done. Nothing concrete, mind you, but it's been making the rounds.

[bc-chris]

bold prediction time.... the flames curse in Anaheim will end this coming season. the flames will look back on the 'drought' and say, "pfffft... it was irrelevant!"

[Inferno]

The Ducks are taking all of the Canucks' ######bags and making it much easier to hate them. Maybe next year they trade for Burrows?

[sureLoss]

Franson has been linked to the Canucks. Likely they go after a few d-men tomorrow.

If anything this trade is more impressive then the Sven one. Bieksa is an over the hill, bottom pairing Dman who is reportedly looking for 4M+. At least Baertschi still has potential to become something

If it happens I hope they offer stupid dollars.

Kesler was in Vancouver, last Thursday, June 25th. He was hanging out at West Oak in Yaletown. He did not like when I gave him the middle finger. He had a few buddies with him, but decided to sit at the bar alone until some hoochies showed up and sat with him. I was wondering if burrows or bieksa were going to show up, but I left maybe 20 minutes after he got there.

This trade is irrelevant

[H2SO4(aq)]

So why didn't Anaheim just resign beauch and keep their 2nd? I don't get it.

I believe he turned down $13M over 3 years.. for a No 4-5 defenseman.

I hope he signs for a lot more than that, with Vancouver.
