When the Vancouver Canucks traded prospect Jared McCann and draft picks for Erik Gudbranson, a lot of Canucks fans went mad — including myself. That reaction was definitely not a first in Vancouver, but I also didn’t think it was anything special. After all, Florida Panthers fans were mad about losing Gudbranson for an unproven prospect. Fans’ immediate reactions about moves their team’s management makes usually tend to be negative, right?
Wrong.
As it turns out, the Vancouver Canucks are quite special in that way. I am not the only one who questions a lot of the moves Vancouver makes.
