After 10-years with the Vancouver Canucks, the organization has parted ways with number 17, Ryan Kesler.
Kesler no longer wanted to be a Canuck and early Friday morning he was dealt to the Anaheim Ducks. In return the Canucks got Nick Bonino, Luca Sbisa and a 24th pick in today’s NHL Draft.
It is tough to say whether fans are happy or sad to see Kesler leave Vancouver, but they are definitely opinionated as always. Check out a number of Tweets below to see some of the fans reactions to Kesler being traded.
Good riddance #RyanKesler #Canucks will be better off in future Not a team guy Probably come back & burn us a few times before he’s injured

Fresh start? No, what Ryan Kesler needs is a fresh skeleton. That guy is more machine than man at this point. #Canucks

Ryan Kesler requested a trade because he wants to win and got sent to the Ducks. Sucks he didn’t get his wish.

“[The Canucks] are years behind from being a contender. [2013.2014 season] was painful, to be honest.” – Ryan Kesler // bruh
