All I heard was Kesler was playing hard ball and a discussion did come up about him not reporting if he wasn't traded. The Canucks did seriously entertain the idea of letting him do just that, briefly. But Benning wanted it dealt with before the draft so he sucked up the emotion and dealt with it. And he had a lot of emotion to suck up, anger.Mëds wrote:How much of this is legit?Strangelove wrote:http://www.theprovince.com/sports/Botch ... story.html
Gone are both John Tortorella, who is in limbo, and Ryan Kesler, who is in Anaheim, apparently bent on re-writing history.
It was there Kesler claimed last week the Vancouver media made things up, while he suggested he was always a good teammate.
In reality, it was Kesler who made things up, lying for three months about asking for a trade — even going so far as saying the rumours took quite the toll on him. Good one.
As for his teammates, if they wanted Kesler to be a Canuck, he would still be a Canuck.
Unfazed by Kesler’s threat — made through agent Kurt Overhardt — of being a camp no-show, the Canucks were willing to take their sweet time in making the deal he wanted.
But it was his teammates who loathed the risk of more Kesler drama. They let management know they wanted to be done with it — and him.
Was it because of reports he was in Sochi crowing about getting out of Vancouver midway through a season? Was it because he was threatening to hold out to start camp this year? Was it because of the same reasons which led them to strip Kesler of his letter “A” back in November?
Or was it because they were just sick of the entire storyline?
Whatever it was, what matters is this team felt it was better without him. That speaks more than 19 text messages.
HW.....care to back up Botchford's claims about the players and threat of a no-show?
Don't want to see Doc quoting a bunch of rumor and bullshit.....I mean, for the sake of clarity.

We have powers of observation and use them to describe what we see.
When I lived in Jamaica people are described by their colour all the time, black, brown, red, white.
It isn't racist. It isn't derogatory. It is what we are.

Got an answer for that uk?
Subban's skin is dark brown, or black, there is no shame in that, call it what it is.
Mine is white.....call me a white guy?
Indians? They are generally a shade of brown. Dammit anyways.....it's horrible to describe the colour of something.
Asians are a sort of yellowish-tan.....it's truth.
Why does it need to be filtered?
Same as with mentally retarded challenged, disabled special needs, ummm.....don't put a descriptive handle on anything now. Right.
Better not describe that person over there as short, or the other one as tall.....vertically challenged and genetically predisposed to have longer bones.....that's better. So much easier.
You lefties need to give your heads a shake, grow some thicker skin, and quit trying to pacify and coddle the overly sensitive.
I'm more of a... pinky-peach color.Mëds wrote: Mine is white.....call me a white guy?
Oh great, so now you are saying Subban is a traitor and he is not to be trusted.BladesofSteel wrote:Actually, Judas was the dark guy.
Black in fact, just as Carl Anderson taught me in Sunday school.
Unfortunate slip up from the local rags. Subban handled it well tho
