Rabbit Traded to Vancouver.

[Tidball]

i am just very suprised that the brodsky connection did come together on this one. and reunite rabbit and seto. blades basicly get something for a player who will play 1/2 a year who wouldnt be playing for them anyway.

Rabbit is going to Vancouver Giants. Setoguchi is with PG. The PG Brodsky had nothing to do with the Rabbit trade.

I'm not gonna say anything regarding this trade, but I'm going to reply to your post. If you say Lorne lost his mind this time around, (I'm not saying he did...no comments) I'm a bit critical of him....if your assumption is correct. This is the wrong time of year for GM/Coaches to lose their mind! LOL I know for a fact, he completely lost it last year with the Swift Current trade. Look at Crowley!! WOW!!! I know Lorne is very intelligent, but does he get a bit nervous when the deadline comes around, and jumps the gun?...perhaps?? What do you think?

How could Lorne release someone like crowley for price and hengen, let alone giving up tidball too. that trade with Swift was terrible. You guys got lucky on that one. You know..... Swift should be nice and give Crowley back to us

We would not have got Rabbit back anyhow, both the Bruins and Rabbits agent requested that he be dealt to a contender. He was assigned to the ECHL yesterday as they figured that no deal was going to happen. This is the difference between Rabbit and Cole, Cole wants to be here and does not want to be traded to a contender, Rabbit did.

I like how our team has shaped up, and think that adding Rabbit would actually do more harm than good. This was a good move as Lorne got something out of nothing. Our young team are starting to really gel together and are very entertaining, so why add someone that has not been here for the better part of the season? Keeping our team together will only go farther towards making us a stronger team next year....

Look what the Jaw did.... barely made the playoffs one year, the next WHL finals... And they were a good YOUNG team the year they squeaked in.

LOL LOL I don't think "LUCKY" was a factor. I think that rascal Dean Chynoweth is one of the coolest guys under pressure...waits until the other guy jumps. He pulled it with Shultz to Spokane for Lukacevic too, last year. Same trick. What a rip!!! I don't think much is gonna happen this year trades-wise here in Swifty...Dean is building his own team, and fans are seeing well what eyes he has for young talent...we'll see...maybe a trade will happen. BUT H*LL no! You're never getting "CROW" back! He's ours! Got himself drafted too, that tough buggar! LOL In fact, he's completely ours!! LOL LOL LOL

Kenton's a hard worker and great team guy. He's a Sask kid.. and probably had his best game of the season last night.

He'll slot in where-ever you need him. You could never accuse him of being a sniper, but he's a guy who will show up every shift and his growth over the season has been good, better every night and could flourish a bit with a different opportunity.

I think he could be one of those great 19 yr olds (go-to guys who elevate their game) for you next year as well. Frankly considering that the Bruins (Boston) weren't going to let Rabbit play on the Blades, and he's a 20 yr old. I think the price was a bit steep (as 20 yr olds -- even stars usually don't garner much) -- but that's me.

We couldn't be happier to welcome Wacey into the fold though and hope you guys will enjoy cheering him on vicariously through the G-Men. Part of me is kind of sad to lose Kenton as he's a good team player and fun to watch at times, but of course I am over-joyed to get Rabbit for the Giants.

Great deal IMO. I don't know how anyone can complain about something that might not have even been. We should be glad we got something out of this deal. If no one was going to give us anything in a trade for Rabbit or if Molleken asked too much for him, then he would have just went to the ECHL, and we would have nothing. Its not like if we didn't get what we wanted for him he would just come and play for us, the bruins and rabbit wanted to be with a legitimate contender.

Plus as was stated before about 20 year olds, they usually dont get much in trade even if they are stars, especially 1/2 way through the season.

I can't wait to see what Dulle brings to the table.

Too bad the game between the Blades and Giants has already happened.
