We knew that.

[Mustache of God]

I don't know how to feel about this other than it's nice to have prospect depth at D? Considering all the upcoming forward talent we have I don't think we'd ever miss Bloom.

[Brawndo]

I know they have a lot of forward prospects, but at first glance Bloom was a lot to give up for Him 

[LGR4GM]

I don't get it

Can we see his stats that don't include rookie years? Namely the last season? Then see those stats relative to the rest of the Canucks?

This makes 0 sense. He's a tweener.

Also who did we waive for the contract spot? We're at 23/23 right now.  

[GASabresIUFAN]

Ok.  Wow.  I feel so much better about our chances.  At least he is signed through next season. Is he actually better than Bryson or Clague.  If not, why make this deal.

He's got a -5.8 xgf split.

Where is our great analytics dept?

Bad trade

So...

Well alright then. I don't get this move at all. Did Sam Ventura mastermind this based on some weird stats analysis we're not privy to?

[aristocrat]

Did we think we were getting his father?  Or did his dad want him in our organization so we can get something from the canes?

[Taro T]

O-kaaaaaaay.

[Turbo44]

Hoping he’s AHL eligible cuz I don’t see him helping the Sabres?? He’s not even right handed. Rochester is pretty desperate for D, so hopefully for them and this doesn’t eliminate the possibility of trading for a real dman like Chychrun or Jensen.

can anyone confirm if he’s AHL eligible?

[triumph_communes]

Why… he’s not any better than Clague

[rickshaw]

He’s been decent in Vancouver. Far less of a liability than Tyler Myers has been. Good depth trade. Probably better than Bryson.

Needs waivers 

[LGR4GM]

Vancouver fans call him "tank commander" 

So yea, not a fan. 

[Marvin]

Um, OK then

Yeah, no; there’s a reason he was jettisoned from both Florida and Chicago this year
