Kesler traded!!
Kes to Anaheim for Nick Bonino, Luca Sbisa and a 24th overall pick. Some 3rd round pick swapping too.
If you take anything I have to say seriously, you're gunna have a bad time.

Sbisa's worth is very low. I wonder if it was actually an advantage for the Ducks to unload him.
Bonino may or may not turn out to be a very good player. He had more points than Kesler last year too. 24th pick might come in handy this draft, and the 3rd round swap was to obtain another pick this draft as well.
Personally, I wish the Canucks got more but my objective side says it was a pretty even trade.
My initial reaction was THAT'S IT?? but after looking at it it's better than it looks.
Bonino is younger, 26, than kesler (31). I don't know about bonino's history, but kesler is injury prone, so hopefully bonino will be a bit more reliable.
24th pick isn't to be forgotten. Pair it with their 6th spot and some extra's they could have more moves in the bag.

Garrison traded to Tampa Bay (with rights to jeff costello and a 7th round pick) for tampa's 50th overall pick (2nd round) this year

Canucks making moves.
Considering Kesler was cock-blocking a trade to 27 teams (rumour was Anaheim and Chicago were on his list) that return is pretty damn good.
Don't know about this one either. Yes, it clears up cap - but with the cap going up, the Canucks were not in trouble anyway.Originally posted by DeleriousZ

I imagine this *must* mean Vancouver is looking to get a high(er) paid player(s) before the season starts.
I even heard he had finally decided on ONLY Anaheim.Originally posted by 88CRX

Kesler over-rated. He's done.

Vancouver Canucks @VanCanucks
#Canucks acquire RW Derek Dorsett from NYR for 85th pick in this year's draft.
Which is the pick they just received in Kesler trade I think.
Awesome pickup with Dorsett.

Ribeiro bought out after just playing one year with the Coyotes.

Sounds like he was a cancer in the locker room.
@azc_mclellan
Maloney said this move was purely about behavioral issues and not cost-saving move. Ribeiro has been seeking help this summer, Maloney said.
Maloney: "Mike had some real behavioral issues we felt we could not tolerate going forward."
Maloney said this decision doesn't necessarily make #Coyotes better team next season but better organization in long run.
#Coyotes weren't naive when they acquired Ribeiro last summer, but Maloney thought they could manage. Called it "mistake" now.
And to be clear, this is not a compliance buyout. Ribeiro will get paid over next six years just under $2 million.
max cap set to $69 mil with the min at $51m
Hard to get a read on what the Canucks are doing... are they going full tank mode or retooling? Figure they would try and get younger and acquire assets and prospects...?
That's exactly what they're doing. lots of draft picks for this draft as wellOriginally posted by Quizzes

They're moving up draft positions, but not really stockpiling picks or prospects.Originally posted by DeleriousZ

Getting rid of expensive contracts is a good first step though.
Noooooo! No Reinhart for us!
Did not think that the Flames would have a chance at Sam Bennett at the 4th pick. Good for them!
