I remember reading the comments defending the trade, it has quickly become the worst trade in Vancouver Canucks history and there are trade rumors with Conor Garland.
One of the worst trades in Canucks history by one of the worst GM in Canucks history! Jim Benning has screwed over the franchise by quite a few years by this blunder, FJB!
I still can't believe Vancouver gave up a pick in this trade
Yeh it's bad. But worse than Neely lol
OEL worst F'n trade in Canucks history
They tried for him earlier and I was squealing No F'n way. His contract was terrible, he was diminishing and he was getting super star money and he never was that good to deserve that money and only a fool would touch it. Butt Benning had a hard on for this guy for some insane reason. Over pay! Over pay for a Doughty not him. Even a Chara at that time. Guys that have been there. And yeah, he was old already. Funny Toronto was thinking of hiring him. They tried and missed the first time on Loui. I was no never. Why? Loui was not going to raise the bar. Ever. I could swear he was out to ruin the organization. Everything seems to start running smooth and something else he did makes you go Oh Man. Well so much for his legacy. Yep people will react like the folks on Corner Gas when they hear the name Wullerton.
They all had 1 year left 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
You also have to remember that Vancouver had to watch Markstrom, Tanev, and Toffoli walk because they didn't have the cap space.
Did we just forget about the Neely trade?
No Cam Neely and Glen Wesley for Barry Pederson was worse
