Jim Benning ladies and gentlemen.
Cause what that tire fire needed, was to trade one of their best young talents for Eric Gudbranson.
That's before you even talk about the picks.

That's a very high 2nd rounder too. Jesus.

Gudbranson is UFA next year.
Can we please for the love of god trade them Gauthier for Horvat.

I don't think I would have traded a 4th rounder for Gudbranson. The Canucks threw in an early 2nd and a promising forward prospect.

How does a team in Vancouver's position burn that many draft picks?
Wait. I've seen this before I think...

RFA, but, still, not a great deal. They're basically hoping he can justify his draft position, but, really, he's just not made for the current speed of the game.
Traditional media saying the new analytical-driven Panthers are making a mistake here.
Soak it all in folks, that type of thinking won't be around too much longer.

Of course they are. Gudbranson is your typical big, bruising defensive stalwart . . . that's really more of a defensive turnstile in today's game. But, you know, narratives take a long time to die.

Wait, maybe we can get something for Jared Cowen after all! 6'5", 238 lbs.

Gives me hope that there are still GMs out there that can be fleeced in today's game. I thought GMs had smartened up and stopped needlessly throwing away high draft picks on bad trades, but no, Jim Benning proves me wrong.
Lou has to look into an option of getting Vancouver's 5th overall pick. Some sort of package that includes our late 1st from Pittsburgh and other pieces.

Zee, rumbling I heard on twitter had them high on a pivot at #5 hence why they made McCann available.
Dubois I think.
Still stupid, but there you go.
A good article by Dimitri Filipovic analyzing the trade:
