Well, Bryan came over to the Canucks in The Trevor Linden Trade. I first heard about the trade on SportsDesk. I stared at the screen: Bryan McCabe and Todd Bertuzzi. Obviously, I was really mad. Later, I was still sad about Trevor leaving, but I realized that this was an awesome trade and both McCabe and Bertuzzi are awesome players.
