RayFinkle Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 PER TSN: The Vancouver Canucks jumped the deadline in acquiring former Canuck Brent Sopel from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for a 2nd and 4th round draft pick. In addition Vancouver added veteran centre Bryan Smolinski from the Chicago blackhawks for a conditional 2nd round pick. The Canucks, considered a cap team, were able to manouver these trades by placing injured forward Ryan Kesler on long term injury. That is all, thank you.

Goodfella25 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 What makes those moves even better is that Vancouver didn't have to give up anyone off of their roster. That is huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnkirishone Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 and also opens them to scrutiny from the nhl if Ryan Kesler comes back at all in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samson's Flow Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 What does any of that have to do with the Sabres? because hes trying to compare our cap tight trade situation with that of the similarly cap tight canucks. they "cheated" the system the way darcy doesnt want to...

DWarner Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 I don't think they cheated if the Nucks docs really think he'll be out til the end of the regular season. Darcy keeps saying the Sabres docs think all but the Goose will be back by April 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Canucks cheated the system, and I don't think the Sabres would be cheating by placing guys with legit injuries on IR. Just my two cents.
