Trade Deadline - 02.25.2019

[ATypicalCanadian]

Would you trade guddy for ceci?

I'll say no because Benning would probably actually qualify him..

Both are RHD

Ceci is making 4.3M(300K more than Gudbranson), is arbitration eligible and his QO is 4.3M.

Both are regarded as bad defensemen..

Ceci is 25 and Gudbranson is 27..

In summary we'd basically be trading Gudbranson for younger Gudbranson and go through the same ****storm where people say he's still young and can turn it around.

 

[polarbearcub]

I’m starting to think it’s gonns be guddy for Ceci

 

[Blue and Green]

Moving the goalposts again? Ok then...

No, you are. Demko is about to negotiate his first post-ELC contract, not his second. You are the one who brought up the situation as it related to Schneider's second post-ELC contract and claimed it was "similar."

We aren't allowed to be that lucky.

 

[Addison Rae]

Ceci f***ing sucks.

 

[ziploc]

We aren't allowed to be that lucky.

That ain't lucky. That's shooting yourself in the left knee and being happy that you didn't get shot in the right knee.

 

[MadaCanuckle]

No, you are. Demko is about to negotiate his first post-ELC contract, not his second. You are the one who brought up the situation as it related to Schneider's second post-ELC contract and claimed it was "similar."

You established, and I quote, Demko would be in the driver's seat if he was the clear number 1. Schneider was the clear number 1, he negotiated the contract and we know how that it ended. Care to deny this and keep moving the damn posts?

 

[Addison Rae]

Easily, Ceci is RFA this summer. Don't qualify him and let him walk, there goes Gudbranson's contract an you didn't have to pay anything to get rid of it.

It's Jim Benning we're talking about, this moron has watched Gudbrandson play like complete garbage for 3 years now and hasn't for a second concluded he f***ing sucks.

It would take at least 3 years for him to do the same with Cody Ceci. So I'd expect a raise on his next contract, the supporters will justify Ceci as a player just like they did with Guddy in his early days here.

Not worth my time or patience.

With a .937 save % and a 1.96 GAA the previous season, Schneider probably would've gotten more than $4M per year if Luongo hadn't been there to give the Canucks some leverage. Anyway, we have different viewpoints on the matter and that's cool.

 

[Fire Benning]

Teams have always had a weird infatuation with Ceci, it's odd.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Would you trade guddy for ceci?

Lateral move at best.. especially if ceci resigns for $4.3+ per year. Sadly I’d prefer to roll with guddy. And that’s saying something. There’s very few players I’d say no to, ceci is one that does nothing for me. Always thought he was way overrated.

 

[MikeK]

That ain't lucky. That's shooting yourself in the left knee and being happy that you didn't get shot in the right knee.

I disagree. The contract we'd be sending out is a major win.. so again, we aren't allowed to be that lucky.

 

[Zombotron]

I guess being a 2012 first-round draft pick still carries some weight

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Yup.

It takes Jimbo years (if ever) to realize what is already painfully obvious to anybody with half a brain. I'd have a little more respect for the guy if he manned up to his mistakes and owned it. He never learns and never takes accountability which leads to the same mistakes over and over and over and over. He's basically running a ponzi scheme where he keeps trying to borrow money to keep it going. Eventually shit will hit the fan and we are going to be paying for it with a decade of sadness.

 

[ziploc]

I disagree. The contract we'd be sending out is a major win.. so again, we aren't allowed to be that lucky.

In a vacuum, possibly. But Benning wants to make Hockey Trades (TM). Which means Ceci would almost certainly be re-signed. And he is not good. So we would be in the same situation, maybe worse if the contract is for longer and pricier.

 

[MadaCanuckle]

With a .937 save % and a 1.96 GAA the previous season, Schneider probably would've gotten more than $4M per year if Luongo hadn't been there to give the Canucks some leverage. Anyway, we have different viewpoints on the matter and that's cool.

Luongo was the backup and was widely reported he was on the trade block. Canucks had little leverage.

Help us Pierre Dorion, you are our only hope.

 

[Chwc]

Montour got moved for a late first, too bad tanev is injured.

Also hes a rfa, too bad benning doesnt seem to want to move any of our RFA.

You would think basically outside of EP40, boeser, horvat and hughes. All pieces should be available.

 

[Donuts]

Time to sell, benning

 

[Addison Rae]

Good deal for the Sabres.

 

[Carl Carlson]

Wish we could trade Benning for a 7th.

 

[Zombotron]

Basically sent him home, too. He'll probably be stoked to join the Sabres.

 

[geebaan]

Really random, and could be totally fake, but heard from a friend of a friend who is part of the org(like, works at the arena) he overheard Benning talking about Ferland to someone on the phone. Could nothing but thought that was interesting.

 

[BerSTUzzi]

I like Montour but that seems like a lot.

 

[mathonwy]

It's Guddy for Ceci.

Both suck harsh nut sacks.

Both get taken care of by the league because both play ball with management.

Both have worn out their welcome in their respective cities.

Makes complete sense to me.
