Why????.... And to Van for a 5th round 18 year old Swed I never heard of.... This screams that he did either not fit at all or he did something wrong guys bc this makes NO sense to me.... Really really bad trade. IMO he was worth a player and a 3rd at least

Makes a lil more sense when u see the Linkopings connection.... The Hawks brass knows that club inside and out. Gustav Forsling is only 18 which still means we traded a very offensive ready for the pros Dman for a guy 3 years away....

This trade still looks very much in the Canucks favor as they get a guy that will likely play 10-12 mins right away for them and we MAY have a guy in 2-4 years

A bit late on the subject, but I'm with you GRADEN. From everything I had heard, Clendening was really developing into a quality d-man, so this trade was bizarre to me. Either he's done something very wrong, or the club sees something really, really good in this other kid. That's all I can think of, because it couldn't be an injury or something as any team we tried to trade him to would have done their research and full medicals before agreeing to the trade anyway.

Wow it's not just me talking to me anymore.... Crazy

Something he did must have pissed them off, only thing I can think of. He is an NHL ready offensive d man

Any idea about the new kid we got? I haven't heard a thing about the kid, other than that he's a young Euro d-man.

Yea bowman saw him in the 2-4 game linko or swede showcase or something that happened like 3-4 months ago... I forget what it's called.... Anyways the kid opened a lot of eyes there and I assume he just fell in love with him.... I hear the kid can really skate and move the puck with calmness which is rare at his age.... Again can't stress enough we won't see or hear much about him for 3 years or more

Great skater and puck moving d-man... is he an offensive-minded defenseman like Clendening?
