He will be fine. Him and Bo will battle all year for #2

Fecking A right!

The head case will probably turn out to be a 30 goal scorer

Very unlikely, I'd be surprised if he makes the NHL on a regular basis. Please don't trade for this guy

yes

If the Canuck made this trade I would abandon the team for ever and join Nucker in the Flames forum

What has he done exactly too piss you off this much? He was late.

I wonder how many people here have ever been late for work, or school, or to a meeting...

I wonder how many people are diva enough to be late on their first day of their first training camp as a rookie looking to make an impression and stick with the big club. If it were me, I'd be early and ready to go, no excuses.

He has to know better ...he is already dealing with his character being questioned ...he is basically on egg shells and has to do everything right and by the book ...and he didn't... Kid had skill but he is lacking in other areas

Have you not read the quote from his former junior Gm about trading him last season?

Because he called out Hockey Canada of being racists? I dont know that they are racist but they are not fair with their selections at time.

Aside from that what else?

Yikes. A pending UFA and a head case for your best prospect and a top pairing d man
- Bieksa#3

McCann is our best prospect?

He's HIGH on McCann (so am I for the record) - McCann will be Patrice Bergeron 2.0

His issues with hockey Canada, his former junior team, kid fell in the draft for a reason ....it's not like it's a one off and he is branded this way ...it's been continual

You have absolutely zero knowledge of the circumstances of his tardiness. Maybe its as you say, but you can get down off your soap box any time.

Nothing, I just wouldn't trade Mccan for Ho Sang and I also wouldn't trade Tanev for Oko. I just think it's a very lopsided traded.

If okposso is signed for 2-3 more years would you ?

Kids fall in the draft when they get labelled. Funny Evander Kane has identical issues. Even Byfuglien to a point. as being labelled selfish. If they had anything in common , maybe we could find a common ground.

You have to admit it is a possible that some peoples judgment may be deemed a little predjudice. Joel Ward being called banana eater in Canada , Subban told to go home N by Boston fans .

So HoSang calls out a few people and automatically he is labelled the trouble maker

McCann is our best prospect?


- LordHumungous

Yes I think he is

It's simple, you are looking to make an impression on your team to be able to stick, it's your first camp. Let's say there's circumstances that excuses him being late, even so, WHY WOULD YOU RISK IT? It's not like they aren't told what time they have to report, it's not like they can't get a wakeup call to their hotel room, or leave early enough to avoid traffic. There's no excuse for being late on your first day.

Not to mention the fact that if it was excuseable, they probably keep him up, the fact that they sent him down immediately is kinda telling.

Yeah McCann is going to be good no doubt but the complete versatility of Bergeron?

Bold statement dude...

Not unless it was significantly under market value which obviously wouldn't happen. Canucks can't afford to trade their top young defenseman who has a solid contract and their top offensive center prospect. Essentially it just comes down to being completely disinterested in Ho Sang as a prospect. I don't believe he has a high enough skill level to make up for his mental shortcomings
