Moving Guddy you need a right shot D and only guy other then Biega is unproven Chatfield and let's not count Subban.

So moving Guddy would be a contractual issue which given how much space there will be next season shouldn't be an issue. If that was to occur look for JB wanting a prospect D, perhaps like Pouliot, but a right shot back.

Still JB's white wale is a right shot QB D type. If he's still here JB will go after in draft if not taken away like Makar was by those awful Avs.

Needing a RHD is overrated for us atm.
EG is on a show me show u contract.
Asset management in the end.

DP can't handle NHL speed. He looks like a tweener. He'll do pretty well in slow paced games, but when teams really start to cycle he get's confused and makes huge mistakes.

Another thing... He was supposed to be a really gifted skater. We never saw it.

It will be interesting to see if the Nucks can turn him around. I pretty much doubt it.

Totally fair. I get that. Out of respect for the blog though i wont keep this going. Many pages have been dedicated to the vicious circle that is my opinion lol

Im not very concerned about the RH/LH for someone that doesn't put up much offence. That being said, Im not the coach and maybe he is but seeing how PP is 4F-1D I don't think its an urgent item.

Also I wouldn't mind paying EG one season of big money to buy time for prospects, but unfortunately he will want term. I am thinking Alzner is the comparable he will want to use

The Guddy comporasin is for PK and 5x5 need as TG likes to play D on natural side.

Guddy is a needed element here and JB has him in his plans. Guddy is trying to use this season to get as much as he can in new contract. Don't be surprised he's signed by TDL.

There are a few 2018 first rounders that can be the offensive D that is sought after and separate to how Guddy is factored in.

We seem to like our highest priced D to have no offence.
Expect a 5F PP coming our way soon enough 😜😂😂

If u played the game a lot its more interesting.

No clock & tons of not much waiting for a pitch.

Nothing Gudbranson has done in his career has shown to me that he deserves to be the highest paid Canuck D.

If he has a monster year where he is a force on the ice, then I'd maybe reconsider, but a defensive defensemen on a low scoring team/D core is setting a bad precedent for future cap use IMO

I like the trade, but doubt anything comes from it. Wish Pedan the best and as decent as he looked this preseason, he isn't anymore than a journeyman.

Pouliot has the potential to be a Granlund and it only cost a 4th this time.

P.S. I'm liking the new salty Makita

It doesnt help when you get hit by michael Saunders once a year. The guy was 6 feet tall at age like 10. Dominated our league at all positions.

I like the trade,even though I was hoping that Pedan might be able to make Gudbranson expendable(for Marwood).
Nothing wrong with having another offensive defenseman on the roster. Also Pedan had been replaced on depth charts by McEneny and his toughness is easily replaced by concussion free Mackenzie Stewart who looked alright in the pre-season games he played in.
