Confirmed with Link: [CHI/VAN] Gustav Forsling traded for Adam Clendening

[LiquidSnake]

obvious We were not going for a major rebuild........this is fast retool that can be ready in two to three years

Ready for what in 3 years?

The Sedins retire and this team is a dumpster fire

 

[Taelin]

From what I've read, the reason behind his stats dropping is because a lack of motivation because he realized Chicago has ridiculous depth on the right side and other prospects had passed him this year. That shouldn't be a problem here in Vancouver to say the least lol

Well, his top PPQB spot was taken by Brennan.

 

[DadBod]

Obviously Clendening is the better player now, and possibly in the future as well...But I'd really like us to keep our prospects/picks, especially when they look to be a steal.

Hamhuis Clendening
Edler Corrado
Sbisa Tanev

 

[PG Canuck]

Hamhuis Clendening
Edler Corrado
Sbisa Tanev

Edler and Tanev will never be split.

 

[Wisp]

I really like this trade, but man, seriously **** the Hawks when a player like Clendenning is expendable. Rock solid AHL production and only 22 years old.

Only Canucks prospect who has had sort of AHL production is 25 year old Kevin Bieksa.

 

[NuxFan09]

yep it would be great to develop own players but clearly we not going to wait 5 years for Forsling to develop.......the goal is to win now not 5 years later

Seriously? We are not winning now. Not going to happen.

 

[NoShowWilly]

Edler and Tanev will never be split.

they were split at practice today but I'll take your word for it.

Just like L.A and Vey.

 

[LiquidSnake]

So it's becoming clear how benning want to build this team. He is trying to fill in the year gaps that we have in age groups, with players who have already been in development systems for awhile.

Linden Vey is another good example of this.

If they were such great pieces or showed true promise, they wouldn't be dumped off.

 

[Taelin]

Edler-Tanev
Hamhuis-Clendenning
Sbsia/Weber/Stanton-Corrado

That's what I want to see.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

A comparable would probably be Mike Green IMO. If he turns out anything like him, I'd be ecstatic. His point total is also similar to his at the AHL level.

 

[684]

If they were such great pieces or showed true promise, they wouldn't be dumped off.

This is the concerning part, we're getting the expendables from other teams. I liked Forsling but Clendening looks promising, nice stats in the A. His defensive work though??

 

[WTG]

Can I have a gold star for trying?

 

[IntangiBo]

****, I really liked Forsling. Chicago probably scouted him as a promising prospect and sold high on Clendening.

2014 draft looks even worse now.

Or bought high on Forsling. You'd think if they wanted Forsling and were high on him they would have DRAFTED him.

wow pretty sad that a player who's not even top 2 in Rockford is top 2 in Canucks defense pairing.

 

[NuxFan09]

Exactly.

Man, I don't think I would have survived if I was a Cleveland Cavaliers fan.

 

[NoShowWilly]

His defensive work is a struggle. We have the player to shelter that though. We can't just have 10 point defensive dmen that aren't even great defensively.

 

[McHortton]

Edler-Tanev
Hamhuis-Clendenning
Sbsia/Weber/Stanton-Corrado

That's what I want to see.

I just want to see the pizza delivery man gone!

 

[KeninsFan]

they were split at practice today but I'll take your word for it.

Wonder if we'll go back to Hamhuis-Tanev as the default shutdown pairing with Edler-Clendening as the PMD/OFD pairing?

 

[PG Canuck]

they were split at practice today but I'll take your word for it.

I think it was said afterwords it was nothing to be expecting come gametime.

 

[684]

Can I have a gold star for trying?

Photoshop game on point bro

 

[Aphid Attraction]

If they were such great pieces or showed true promise, they wouldn't be dumped off.

He is getting the peaces from log jam teams... what you are saying is black and white that it is impossible to trade for a good player

 

[Canucks LB]

Not gonna lie, I hate his name tho.

We need a nickname for him stat

 

[NoShowWilly]

wow pretty sad that a player who's not even top 2 in Rockford is top 2 in Canucks defense pairing.

Edler Corrado
Hamhuis Clendening

better for you?

else
