This Canucks fan has no problem with it. They gave up a 4th rounder big deal. As far as 'helping' Edmonton? If 1 year of Evander Kane at 5.5 was really such a barrier to Stan Bowman signing Evan Bouchard then Bowman is as lacking in competence as he is lacking in ethics. Honestly if Edmonton wants to spend 10+ million on Bouchard good for them. I don't think he's a disaster of a player by any stretch but I think Edmonton would be better served spending that money elsewhere.
Also I think a lot of people just want to see Bouchard's real value on a team that doesn't include two of the greatest players of our generation and often features him hopping over the boards as part of a 5 man rotation with those two superstars.
No, its D-Petey for #25
So, as a Canucks fan, LOVING this. Canucks Twitter hates it, but I say otherwise. If he meshes with the guys, he could be a Blue n' Green Felon on the ice, and that's what we need for our team. If grit is what wins cups nowadays, WELCOME ABOARD EVANDER KANE!!! Now just get us Zadorov from Boston, and we're set.
I’m guessing this move is a signal that the front office isn’t a big fan of this free agency class. Get Kane for a year and try again next offseason instead of signing someone to term that you aren’t a big fan of.
This is a great trade. Vancouver only gave up a fourth round pick for a guy who scores 20+ goal. Kane is a legit top 6 foward
"He brings great practice for your penalty kill" lol I almost spit out my coffee!
Take it easy on the Demko take
Canucks realize they ruined their cup chances, right? They might make the finals, but Kane is gonna goon up and take bad pentalties that will cause them to lose in 5 games
Dangle looking sexy in that jersey!
He had issues in Buff too boys lol and I heard the boys were sick of him (McDrai)
Kane aint even worth "future considerations"😂
Demko to Edm for Victor Arvidsson. Might need a little tinkering but its a good start to a trade i think lol
Edmonton is taking out the trash.
This was basically
Podkolzin for Kane 1:1
…1 year later
I’ll take Podz, the hardworking, good character kid over Kane the locker room cancer
This is so Vancouver, trade for a toxic guy no other team would take and spend 1/2 their cap on a player type they don’t really need
Unfortunately we’re not good enough to win but not bad enough to rebuild! Franchise is toast
Vancouver might as while get Connor mcdavid too
Its the Canucks.
My expectation is roughly; "Duuh what to do now? Do we have any Petterssons..Maybe another Pettersson."
🤓
Great move for Canucks
Excuse me, I need to go cleanse my palette with a Jim Nill signing.
Looking at that roster, I'm getting big 2010's Habs vibe (no offense) except that they don't have Carey Price.
Vancouvers lineup minus Miller/Boeser/Horvat looks like absolute 💩.
Soooo, this means Boeser is probably gone now, right? Very similar production and likely cheaper than what Boeser would get as a free agent.
goodluck to the canuckrs, you got yourself a selfish "ME" player who didn't come out for the handshakes, he is and always has been a scum, that's why he's known as cancerkane….
Demko to Utah
The Canucks can't stop canucking up
Demko is indeed the big question. If the Canucks believed in his health going forward they wouldn't have re-signed Lankinen, good as he was last year.
The Kane trade makes sense for all involved. He's got one year left on his contract, which is probably the exact spot you eant him in. The Canucks need the grit and he does have genuine talent if you can extract it. The Oilers simply are in a better position than Vancouver currently but need the cap space.
Regardless, they need Pettersson to come back from the dead and maybe be even better than he was a couple of years ago.
P.S. to Adam's scepticism, Sherwood had 19g 21a last year, while being a great forechecker. Even without repeating the production most are very comfortable having him slot-in up or down the forward group.
Jim benning screwing this team for another decade, paying oel 4.7 for this and next year really handicaping their cap flexibility
Demko to the Flyers
I'm a Canuck fan and I think this is great…welcome home Evander
Kane will score 35/40 goals.
Treliving didn't do the Flames any favors when he initially signed that Gaudreau contract, a 5 team trade list, and he walks away!! gimme a break, and then Tkachuk leaves.
PAY Suter, he was great last season…
ep 40 is the forward Elias, d petey is the defenseman Elias, and mp3 is Markus
incorrect take on sherwood. he is a beast
D-Petey and MP3, (or Meaty)
Down at the bottom with Chicago lol What a fool. You're a supposed hockey guy making these foolish claims you must be either a Canuck hater or youve done far too much crack lol
Credit to the other 2 guys showing some logic.
So the Canucks' Defense have Droid Designations lol EP-25 lol
Horrible trade 🤦🏻🤦🏻
No its D Petey and MP3
For the petterson naming, we have EP40, we have D-petey (the rookie), and we have MP3 for marcus petterson
Finally a nice pickup for Vancouver 🎉
Watch demko is gunna be great again soon as we trade him 😭😭😭😭
Now we need lucic on a pto!!
Dressing room? It's a locker room dude.
Can we use the rest of our Salary cap to hire Byfuglien solely for the purpose of giving him the middle finger before every game. What a plug. Absolute worst player to wear a Canucks jersey when it happens
Remember when the Canucks had a good forward group but mediocre D? Now the Canucks have a good Defense but mediocre Forward? Why can't this franchise do two things at the same time?
These guys know more about Austin Matthews dog than they do about the Canucks.
As a nux fan I would’ve preferred trying to get Jason Robertson
WE DONT CALL EP25
Can't skip the handshake line if you don't make the playoffs
