I'm surprised nobody is talking about the lastest Canuck
- Thread starter dazedandconfused
- Start date
So, if I've followed the trade sequence for Ryan Kesler to Anaheim and Nick Bonino to Pittsburgh correctly, it breaks down something like this:
Moving out-Kesler and Van's 2015 3rd round pick (to Anaheim); Adam Clendening, Bonino and Van's 2016 2nd round pick (to Pitt),.
Coming back- Bonino, Luca Sbisa, Anaheim's 2014 1st round pick- (#24- Jared McCann), Anaheim's 2014 3rd round pick- (#85- traded to the Rangers for Derek Dorsett); Brandon Sutter and Pittsburgh's 2016 3rd round pick.
So at the end of the day we lose Kesler, Clendenning and a 2016 3rd rounder. We acquire Sutter, Sbisa, McCann, Dorsett and a 2016 3rd rounder.
Looks to me like a pretty solid deal for a guy who didn't want to be here and had to go. Especially if McCann follows through on his rise as a top line OHL centre who had an amazing playoff run this year. He's a complete player, and got a bit of seasoning in the AHL this year with the Comets in their playoff run as well- huge potential.

I'm pretty excited about having a SUTTER in the Canucks lineup again. I mean, if there is a family that has contributed more to the sport of Hockey than the Sutter 6, I don't know who it is. Yes, the Howes, the Hulls...but SIX brothers? As a lifetime 'nucks fan, Ronnie and Richie always have a place in my heart, but Brent was arguably the best hockey player of the six who played (though some argue Gary, who never played a pro game, was the best of the bunch.) and has also had a great coaching career! Talk about a kid who has grown up in the game!! (Yes, I have to admit I have reached the age where "everyone famous is someone famous's kid"!)
Sometimes quality trumps quantity.
You forgot the Richards, who happened to win a couple (19) Stanley Cups.
Do you remember the Alou and Bernoulli families?
Like Badger backs me up; SIX original Sutters and 2 of their kids so far. Any other hockey dynasties compare?
The Montreal Canadiens
1975-1976 58-11-11
1976-1977 60-8-12
1977-1978 59-10-11
The Big Three.
That's as good as it gets sweetie.
I always considered the Sutter's as mid range "plumbers" i.e. third liners nothing special. By their sheer numbers (9) is firkin amazing though.
Richie tried hard but really there were sharper tools in the tool box. So many dumb moves, dumb penalties etc.
I liked the Courtnalls in their day. The Staal family showed promise too.

That's my point BBB, she seems to be infatuated with numbers, typical Canuck fan.
Would you rather have one great session with Lucky Lake or six sessions with aunties from a massage parlor?
I'll try it again sweetie, quality trumps quantity, although I do respect their family.
But their family, or should I say dynasty,
cannot hold a candle to the Richard family, Christ, even hockey guru Bjohn agrees with me.I assume Erica, that is your business model, quality over quantity?
Just as an aside, I can do more with 6 inches, than some people can do with 12 inches.
Not to brag or anything, but another example of quality over quantity.

Yup...mid range players. They show up, they do their jobs, they don't bitch about it, and they know why they keep showing up!That's my point BBB, she seems to be infatuated with numbers, typical Canuck fan.

OF COURSE quality trumps quantity, and yes it is my business model! Who wouldn't prefer it? But every once in a while when the marquee players all seem to be out of town, a reliable third line winger calls up, gets the nod, and has a chance to put one between my pipes!
Thank you Badger. That's the point I was trying to make all along! I am admittedly, a little obsessed with statistics and trivia, and you've given me so much to mull over! Undoubtedly, I will be boring family & friends with Sutter trivia for the foreseeable future! I have long said that when it comes to assessment, evaluation, and research methodology, I prefer QUALITATIVE over QUANTITATIVE. As I assess the statistics of the Sutter family, as outlined above so thoroughly, I will stand by my statement that I am VERY excited to see the impact that Brandon Sutter will have on the Canucks this year. It seems like he might be as good a player as his dad was, but even if he's only ever as good as his Uncle Ronnie, he'll be a great TEAM PLAYER that grew up eating sleeping and breathing hockey.
AND HE'S CANADIAN!
Here are some more numbers to ponder
3.3 million dollar cap hit and probably about a 25 point season
Just as an aside, why does this guy always look like he hasn't taken a dump in 4 months

If we're talking about Sbisa, unfortunately that's the going rate. But I do believe he brings more to the table than just points- as long he consistently plays it rough.
And 4 months since JB's last dump- LMFAO!

Since the Canucks are the only pro team in town do fans get burned out by Canucks mania? In Seattle, the Seahawks are so mentally in everyone's presence that it gets tiresome OFTEN. The 12th man thing is getting like a bit corny now.
I'm glad my favorite team is so far away the Anaheim Ducks, I get a chance to miss them so to speak.
