Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks beat Avalanche, consider re-signing Erik Gudbranson Sven Baertschi was the overtime hero as the Vancouver Canucks came out of the All-Star Game with a 4-3 win over the Colorado Avalanche, and announced that they're considering signing defenseman Erik Gudbranson to a contract extension.

Stay Frosty my friends...

Thanks Carol,

JB needs to find a guy like this who can play. #BellLetsTalk

Gudbranson's durability is a red flag for a long term deal. He's never played a full season.

Not easy to deal a guy like that for a big return. JB's in "damned if you do" territory

And he has the Canucks over a barrel

Gudbranson on #Canucks passive response to Lewis hit on Boeser: 'I'm not the only guy that should do it on this team. I think there should have been a pushback. That's something that I bring & had I been on the ice there would have been something done a little differently'

You must be forgetting the complaining about having him on the roster, it was similar to Dorsett, but now both are revered as tough guys and missing pieces.

So what's the overall mood, sign or trade, right now the poll is trade by a measly 3% over short term deal.

I really don't care anymore, i'm happy either way.

I've been around a long time and I'm not sure Ripen was ever characterized as "who can play" by our fan base.

Blog posters love to complain

Gudbranson needs to go. Looks like a pylon on the ice.

He is injured a lot, time to cut bait, trade tanev as well but be patient with him until an offer comes that you cant refuse, it will come.

Trade.

Kole lind 2 more points last night, 19 game point streak intact

Trade him as long as you can get a decent return. We can sign guys in July, forwards or Dmen who can beat up guys on other teams.

Ya I like Guddy but need to trade him. Don't think we can risk the injuries for the term he will want.

Tanev needs to go.

Now.
