In comparing Vancouver to the deals other teams made suggests that Vancouver had the resources to match those deals. They did not.

Lack was traded for fair market value. Kassian had several issues, it cost a fifth to get rid of him. Listen to the Bergevin interview and he admits it and Zach admits he's been immature.

The author scanned local rags and their hacks and regurgitated.
Good pick up Topper. It's funny that Bergevin is taking so much heat for trading Prust and picking up Kassian.

Tonight Benning said he had several trade calls on Miller but in the end he did not think Lack was a number one
It should also be pointed out here that Lack is a giggling flake.

Hey check out his new mask:

Are we still fucking moaning about Kassian? The guy will never make or break a team as long as he's in the league. I got news for you - he's not that good, a fucking high maintenance coaches nighgmare yes. 3 years from now when this Horvat, Virtanen, McCanns, Boeser, Cassels, Tanevs, Markstroms team Kassian won't even be a blip on the radar.

As for Lack - he's not that good folks. Eddie has serious issues with tracking long shots with traffic in front of him. He's the next coming of Dan Cloutier. Move on

Someone had to pump some life in here ;) nothing wrong with some summer journalist trashing

What i know abut the Kassian tRade sas its a step back if you're conducting a rebuild...and I don't care if I'm wrong down the road...I'll eat the crow with a shit eating grin because it'll mean the team has turned it around.

I have jumped all over conclusions before and lived to tell the tale...

Kassian is an asshole!

So yeah, I like Kassian. :blush:

Unfortunately he's a high-maintenance asshole who might not ever turn into a top-6er.

Anyhoo, no sense pissing about spilt milk, I always say...

Is that Heritage Classic maroon surrounding Bobby Lou?
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

"A step back if you're in a rebuild"??? LMAO, you're kidding me right? Zack will never be a core player. He will never be that guy you build around. He's another uncontrollable Steve Downie. He was a RW in the way of a long line of RWs the mgnt group want to start weening into the line up. Kassian never stood up for teamates. He only wanted to play an offensive game with no attention to defence. Prust is a LW, a perfect fit and a perfect policeman to watch over the kids

It's a brilliant move for the transitioning from the Sedins to the Horvat crowd, I actually haven't been this jacked about the future of the team since the Sedins were kids

Benning likes to use the term Character. Zack had shitty character, plain and simple. Good fucking riddance Zack

Responding to UDL wrongly or rightly

Just let me vent. I don't care if I'm flying off the handle

I like this Brisbois kid. Looks promising. Lack sucked. Idiots in this city overvalue likeable goalies - Irbe, Essensa, Hedberg. The list goes on and on and on and on. Brutal

Oh I see, it seemed you were responding to yours truly....

That "step backwards in a rebuild" I was talking about has to do with letting some core players go

Bieksa/Garrison/Kesler/Lack

... and some vets go

Richardson/Matthias/Santorelli/Booth/Weise/Sestito

... in order to make room for the youth movement.

Then you live with the ups+downs that come with young players.

Keep some of the older mentor-types around...

Short term pain for long term gain.

The author has a Toronto Maple Leaf d**k stuck in his/her mouth, thus the reason why he/she couldn't exactly present their thoughts properly. We must feel sorry for the person.

Personally I think it is a very very very bitter Laugh fan who cannot stand how crappie his/her team is and will be until the earth explodes in a few billion years.
