I like the deal, works for both sides here. I wish Goldy all the best as he's going to get his opportunity to sink or swim with you guys, just something that wasn't going to happen here in san jose.

I just crack up so many shark fans crying about this deal lol.....I mean this isn't a shocker seeing goldy get moved.

Anyway I hope to see Hansen on Logan's line

Hell yeah i'll be glad to give you guys that 1st rder

I mean who gives a (frank) if we win the cup

I didn't say they all would be. Just that banking on the 2 years from now top 6 that includes all of them being wicked reminds me of all the years of people assuming Raymond-Grabner-Kassian-Gaunce-Hodgson-Jensen would pan out and hence there was no need to try to get more young players.

What are you yammering on about... Grabner is a solid player... idiot MG traded cuz that fool AV loved that useless tit Raymond...

I couldn't believe I saw Sharks fans upset about that condition.

If the Canucks made a trade that was 12 conditional first rounders if they won the cup, I wouldn't get mad because if it panned out it means they won. (frank) cares about the rest.

I think this is the first time since Jim Benning has taken over that I am confident in the fact that he is committed to building the team through the draft/developing. Hansen is a very serviceable player, but Goldobyn and the possiblilty of a 1st far outweighs his production on a terrible Canucks team.

Yup. Now on to the draft. The only two days in the Canuck calendar that really mattered this year.

If my team won the cup I couldn't give a poop what they did for years after. The joy would be radioactive, it would have a half life.

low risk, high reward.

Lazar's absolute ceiling is a 3rd liner at this point. Seems like they just paid a premium price for a guy who isn't NHL caliber right now and requires expansion protection.

Just bad value.

Does Vrbata have the mumps?

31st overall, its a second rounder disguised as a first!!!!!

I saw a Hawks fan in their thread last off season say the words

"3 cups in 5 years is nice and all, but Bowman has to go for his cap management. Its unacceptable how he's managed this team"

Let that first bit sink in.

Yeah I know..........a lot of shark fans are cry babies and not very well informed when it comes to our prospects and what we have.

They just see Goldy a former 1st rd pick and completely just knee jerk off of that.

i don't want SJ to win the cup... does that mean i'm against the Nux or just that I despise Sharks fans that it isn't worth the 1st rounder...

There should be more trade activity around the expansion and entry drafts.

Its weird. I went to like 15+ Oil Kings games a year back then and then a handful in the playoffs, and if anyone was going to be a sure bet I thought it was Lazar at forward and Pysyk on D.

Weird to see how out of all the guys picked off that 3-4 year period for them, Pysyk is the only one capable of really playing a regular shift. They must have had 10-ish guys picked and most of them don't have a future.

Still better than a 4th rder

Lightning probably just pissed Hextall off to the point where he will leave his crease and fight Yzerman the next time he see's him.

Lightning offload a 4th round pick, Filpula contract and a conditional 7th to Philly for Streit. Then flip Streit to the Pens for a condition 4th. Essentially, lighting offload Filpula and his contract for a conditional 7th. Smart move by Yzerman.

Take the first. We need it more than your hate for shark fan. Sorry, but you are just going to have to take one for the team.

And its still a first rounder. You have first round priority for players. Whether you have a guy you want to target, or maybe another team is willing to give you a second and a third because they're in love with someone. Its still a first rounder.

A late 4th rounder to boot.

I'm almost surprised that GMs still deal with Yzerman. He's always got something a lot more in the oven than he lets on.

I don't see Lightning/Flyer deals in the foreseeable future.
