[Trade] Canucks trade Jared McCann, 2nd, 4th to Panthers for Erik Gudbranson + 5th

[Roof-Daddy]

Gudbranson. Big, mean defensive defenseman with a right hand shot.

Not great with the puck though.

[Vinny01]

young Dmen cost quite a bit. Pretty good trade for both sides. I like it more for the Canucks at first glance

[Erratik]

Just going off of games played, Gudbranson seems to get hurt fairly often. Not sure if that was a consideration for Florida.

As long as all teams involved in the trade are eliminated from the playoffs, it's all good.

Haha, I guess it's a good time for this:
skip to 2:43


Fitting. Hahahahahaha. So awesome.

McCann is the happiest guy on planet earth right now.

[chubeyr1]

I am a little surprised. Thought McCann was actually pretty good. Its hard to respect a canuck player, but I thought he was a decent young guy.

Probably why they traded him, to decent. Didn't make the dirty hit and did not know how to dive.

I heard Nigel Dawes is talking to Vancouver after his epic dive. Apparently he fits the team needs lol! I am kidding! Yet Damn I could see the nucks signing him.

[chubeyr1]

Sureloss strikes again!

McCann camp is not surprised, saw it coming, he is in Van working out with #Canucks trainers.

NEWS 1130 Sports @NEWS1130Sports
Hearing Gudbranson does not know about the trade, could be on holidays. #Canucks

Strange that Gudbranson doesn't know... teams usually wait until the players are informed before making announcement, but Canucks already put out a press release.

[getbak]

Oh, McCann is the "It is what it is" guy! I forgot about that.

[dammage79]

LOL, McCann camp not surprised. Kids wanted out since the second they called his name on the draft floor.

Trades can happen pretty much anytime. It's just that after the deadline any players you acquire aren't eligible for the playoffs.

[Hockey]

I hate that we traded a 2nd and a 4th.

A story might come out soon on the reason McCann was traded.

Taj ‏@taj1944 11m11 minutes ago If you guys only knew the backstory of how this trade went down. I'm going to cry

[Ashasx]

Not a good trade for Vancouver.

[getbak]

Florida should get a good prospect with the 33rd overall pick too.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Strange to see both McCann and Shinkaruk dealt in a matter of months. Two guys it sounded like were going to be around for quite a while.

Gudbranson is a big kid and still has potential, so I can't rag on the Canucks too much, big young d-men that can play are pretty valuable assets.

Really interested to see who the Panthers take with the 2nd rounder. Could end up being a real solid player.

[dammage79]

That Van 2nd could net you an easy Gudbranson replacement in Markus Miemelainen.

[PeteMoss]

Gudbranson wildly overrated guy because he fights and hits a bit. He's a lug.

The second has a very low chance of being you a Gudbranson
