Crowd reaction to New Jersey trade
 

Thought this was fun to watch. Fast forward to 2:00 for the reaction

hahahahha "HOLY SHIT"

That was my reaction in the car when I heard that Luongo got traded to Vancouver from Florida :lawl:

Bickel is worth that much cause he puts up points in the playoffs! But yeah sucks in the season but as all canucks fans know the season means jack shit once you get to the playoffs!

Gillis said on Team 1040 that they're going to buy out Ballard if he's not claimed.

NOOOOO :( give Ballard a chance!!!

Fucking poor guy was misused and mistreated from day 1 by AV.

love to see ballard do well under torts too but canucks need cap space so sacrifices have to be made.

cap space for scuderi

hopefully, that would be nice if we could get him.

Please for the love god get a top 6 forward which we desperately need.

Wilds don't want Ballard for Setoguchi? He could be our legit top six forward :okay:

Watching tsn2 team Canada rewind.

Just saw bourdon blasting a goal to make if one one tie

DAT SHOT...

Aquaman's had a tough year financially.... also not to mention his wife tryna pry every single dollar she can off him...

Just tryna avoid buyouts as much as possible

I think we have no choice but let schroeder play 2nd line RW

Good.

Did McKenzie tweet that other GMs would have offered more? I didn't see that on his timeline. Source? Also, what GM would come out and say "we would have offered more?" It's confirmed via the media scrum earlier today that Gillis was not offered a 1st, 2nd and a very high end prospect by the Oilers. That was his asking price from teams in the Canucks division. Even though in the past Gillis has said he'd trade within the division, the realignment kind of changes that philosophy.

Gillis was not going to get what the Caps did for Varlamov (Avalanche's first-round pick in 2012 and a second-rounder in 2012 or 2013) but they were going to get more than the Kings got for Bermier (Scrivens, Frattin, 2nd).

The only thing I can really criticize is he took so long to trade one of the goalies he really backed himself into a wall. The actual move he made, I just don't see how teams were going to give up much of anything. He was dealing from a position of weakness, with either goalie.

Definitely too much on his plate atm. And on the topic of team finances, I was shocked that the Blackhawks are losing money, I've read that they're going to lose around $10 million despite the cup win.

Schneider for a former OHL playoff MVP is a fair trade, he maybe unproven but the track record for those who achieve that are one of the best players in the league right now.

Don't blame the kid if he sucks, blame the team development

It's easy to say "I would have offered more", but then why didn't they if their interest was serious? Just a bunch of tire kickers making trouble after the fact.

5/12 have not really made a name for themselves. And that DOESN'T include Derek Roy *shudders* who showed he has the skill but not the will

Still worth a gamble for a salary dump compare to getting a 3rd liner + back up or 2nd round pick

I don't have huge issues with Schneider's return. I just don't agree that Horvat's OHL MVP pedigree really means a whole lot moving forward. Of that list of 12, 1 is a true 'best player of the league' - Corey Perry. Boyes, Staal, Hall, Henrique, are established regular names, but either will not reach 'best player' status or still some uncertainty whether they will get there or not.

Yeah well Schneiders best return would have only gotten us a top six winger. Horvat is a 2nd line player LW/C, it's up to us to develop him.
