Yeah, I'm still sour over that.

Hey, guys!



Today, I'm going to be talking about trades. One trade that I'm a bit sour about (even though it was two years ago) was the trade of my favourite goalie, Roberto Luongo from the Vancouver Canucks to the Florida Panthers. To me, Luongo was my favourite goalie in the NHL. The reason I was so upset over this trade was because the Canucks got nothing for him, and that previous summer they traded Cory Schneider to the New Jersey Devils.

HOW CAN A GENERAL MANGER DO THIS TO A POTENTIAL STANLEY CUP CONTENDER?

After the trade things have only been downhill for Vancouver. The Luongo trade happened in March of 2014, then in July 2014 Ryan Kesler, another star player for Vancouver was traded to Anaheim. Which inevitably started the hashtag on Twitter "#FireGillis" who at the time, was the general manger for the Canucks. immediately after the Kesler trade, Gillis was fired and replaced by Vanocouver Canucks alumni, Trevor Linden. However, since the replacement of Gillis with Linden he brought a new star goaltender, Ryan Miller from St. Louis. He isn't Luongo, but he does a somewhat decent job, I guess. Orca Bay, the company that owns the Canucks stated "We are in the process of a rebuild of this franchise." I'm seeing lots of talk, but no action. This past summer another Canucks star player was traded to Anaheim, Kevin Bieksa.

Four years ago, Vancouver was battling the Boston Bruins for the Stanley Cup, but unfortunately lost in game 7 in Vancouver.

Now, I would consider the Canucks lucky even if they could make it into the playoffs.  

But, with all they trading they're doing, theres also hope for a better tomorrow.

Now, I want to hear from YOU! What trade/ trades still leaves a bad taste in your mouth? Comment below!

Anyways, thanks fro reading!
