Top Five Trade Values on the Canucks
Jeff Angus
May 11 2013 01:32PM
Grantland and ESPN's Bill Simmons recently published his 2013 edition of his top 50 NBA trade value rankings. I "borrowed" the idea last year and ranked the top 50 NHL trade values, and will be doing the same in a few months once the Stanley Cup has been awarded.
And I'm going to use the same rules and factors to rank the top trade values in the Vancouver organization. What I am taking into account:
- Age matters
- Contracts matter
- Position matters
Read on for the list, some honourable mentions, and a few other thoughts.
I'll preface my top five with a few notes. Alex Edler is a very honourable mention here, and we may get to find out what his trade value actually is this summer. The Canucks may be smart to move him for a young center (say… Sean Couturier), as this would allow Jason Garrison to slide back to the left side. Edler is a good defenseman who is sometimes great and sometimes awful. He would have a lot of value – arguably more to a team like Philadelphia compared to the Canucks.
Thomas Drance and I are going to debate some bold moves in the coming weeks, and an Edler trade is definitely one of them. There are some intriguing names out there that Edler may fetch – Couturier and Bobby Ryan are two of them.
One more note – I received a lot of submissions on Twitter that included Chris Tanev, Zack Kassian, Frank Corrado, and Nicklas Jensen. Don't overrate age/youth. Four good young players, but none of them are great. I highly doubt any of them would fetch any of the below five players in a one-for-one trade. Again, this is my opinion, and I am expecting some disagreement.
5. Dan Hamhuis
Contract: Three more years left at $4.5 million per season
Hamhuis is a top 20 defenseman in the NHL. He can do it all, and on the Canucks, he does. He logs the toughest minutes, he makes all of his defensive partners look good, and he doesn't make many mistakes. He had a poor first round by his elite standards, but he is far and away the best defenseman on the roster. And he's locked up for three more years at a very, very manageable cap hit. If Hamhuis was given offensive duties, I have zero doubts that he would approach the 40-45-point mark with regularity.
Will he get traded? No. Even if the Canucks go for a minor rebuild or retooling, Hamhuis has many good years of hockey left. He is a great skater and keeps himself in fantastic shape.
4. Cory Schneider
Contract: Two more years left at $4 million per season
I debated putting Schneider ahead of Kesler, but there is so much uncertainty with the NHL goaltender market (which we have seen time and time again over the past year, unfortunately). Roberto Luongo is available. Mike Smith, too. Ryan Miller and Marc-Andre Fleury could both be on the move.
Schneider is young, and he has proven he can carry the load of a starting goaltender. He had a poor showing in Games 3 and 4 of the series against the Sharks, but he probably shouldn't have been starting in the first place coming off a tweaked groin and eight days off the ice. His cap hit is great, too.
Will he get traded? Very doubtful, unless Gillis goes against his word and keeps Luongo, or if he ships both of them in separate deals and brings in one of the other available goaltenders. Imagine that?
Proto was bang on with my top three:
@anguscertified People that don't put Kesler, Henrik, and Daniel 1, 2, 3 (in any order) are wrong.— _Proto (@_Proto) May 11, 2013
3. Ryan Kesler
Contract: Three years left at $5 million per season
Ryan Kesler of 2010-11 would rank as the top player on this list. But I have trouble seeing that player returning any time soon. Kesler has undergone two very significant surgeries since that time (torn tendons in the hip and shoulder area), and he has been unable to stay healthy or play at an elite level with any sort of consistency. He went beast mode for about 40 minutes in the series against the Sharks, and it was quite apparent that his conditioning wasn't where it needs to be (and that shouldn't come as a surprise considering how little hockey he has played over the past two years).
Would the Canucks move Kesler? Doubtful. But you never know, especially if they can somehow land a younger top six forward for him. I think Kesler's long term future is on the right wing, but the Canucks need to find the right center for him. Derek Roy wasn't that guy (what a dud he was). The Canucks are paper thin up the middle, especially if they let Max Lapierre walk as a free agent this summer.
I'd like to see Kesler play on a line with Jordan Schroeder next season. His cap hit is great for what he brings when healthy, but how often will that be? The Canucks seem to get hurt by injuries more than most NHL teams. How much of that is related to travel? Overtraining? I'm not sure, and I don't want to speculate, but it is awfully tough to win in the postseason when your top guys are always banged up.
2. Daniel Sedin
Contract: One year left at $6.1 million per season
1. Henrik Sedin
Contract: One year left at $6.1 million per season
Like everything else with Daniel and Henrik, this writeup comes as a package deal. Would a team trade Daniel Sedin alone for a healthy Ryan Kesler? Maybe, maybe not. The Sedins are impossible to really "value" alone, as they will never spend much time apart (outside of an injury to one of them). And how many contending teams have $12.2 million in cap space (or the need for a top line LW and C)?
Their respective track records speak for themselves – 1-2 in organizational scoring, a Hart for Henrik, an Art Ross for each of them, and a Lindsay for Sedin. They had their best two-way season in 2013, at the age of 32. I don't see the Sedins aging like typical skill forwards, as they rely less on speed and physicality and more on hockey sense and intuition. Look at Teemu Selanne, Ray Whitney, Jaromir Jagr, and probably the best comparison of all, Daniel Alfredsson. I see them spending another two or three years as top liners before dropping back into a supporting role
Will they get traded? Not a chance. They are the leaders of the team, and they set the tone for the entire organization. They combined for zero gaols against the Sharks, but they played well. I understand, at some point, that production has to trump the underlying numbers (or at least back it up), but the Canucks were essentially a one line team this season. And the Sedins can't carry an offense any more. They need help, and it is up to management to get them that. A supporting cast of Booth, Kesler, Higgins, Raymond, Hansen, and Burrows wasn't good enough. It's time for some upgrades.
Mike Gillis' best move as Vancouver's GM came in late June of 2008 when he decided to fly to Sweden to convince the Sedins to stick around. From what I have heard, it sounds like the Sedins are going to go the Selanne route and sign short term deals for the rest of their career. Let's hope that comes in blue and green jerseys.
Follow Jeff on Twitter @AngusCertified
I don't agree that the Sedin's are your most valuable players in fact I'd wager you couldn't deal them if you tried. If my memory serves me correctly, the Sedin's don't actually have NTC's they have a clause that stipulates that if they are moved it must be to the same team. Since the salary cap is going down I would say moving these players for 12.2 million greatly depreciates their value. Any doubters about the affects big contracts can have on star players should google Luongo, Roberto.
Your most valuable players are also your two best, Ryan Kesler and Dan Hamhuis, both are solid players on reasonable contracts.
What was the point of this trade value article if none of these players have a realistic possibility of being moved?
Why not an article on potential buyouts and possible (as in realistic) trades?
" Will they get traded? Not a chance. They are the leaders of the team, and they set the tone for the entire organization. They combined for zero gaols against the Sharks, but they played well. "
Well that pretty much sums up why the team has played like a bunch of whining losers.
" They are the leaders on the team." Wow, Jeff, do you seriously believe that? Do you or have you ever played a competitive sport before?
" they set the tone for the entire organization." By that I take it that you mean they are good at making excuses like the franchise and the delusional fans, right?
"They combined for zero goals, but they played well."
Wow, man. Who cares if you lose , as long as you " play well" right? You seriously have brought losing to a new standard. So now we can forget about winning, as long as we lose and play well, than it's ok.
Jeff, now I see why the Canuck's have sucked for almost half a century. What they need Jeff, right now going forward, is a reality check and accountability, not more excuses. What they need is a culture of winning, not LOSING. Never forget Darwin's law, Jeff, it applies to the Canucks as well.
This team doesnt need anymore ENABLERS, they've had that for 44 years now, and surprise, they still havent won anything yet. 44 years dont lie. 44 years disagree with your assessment.
Henrik will be 33 next season, I don't know many #1 centers playing at that age.
I think he will be very effective in the regular season, but during the playoffs , he is getting up in age. Also Kesler as you say seems inconsistent because of injuries. All a team needs to do is shut down #1 line and there will be no scoring.
how is Edler not on this list? he's probably the highest value player without a NTC (currently) on the team at this point and we have a surplus of leftie defensemen
"the Sedin's don't actually have NTC's they have a clause that stipulates that if they are moved it must be to the same team"
dont believe what you see on hfboards
May 11 2013, 06:25PM
The Sedins don't need a no trade clause to prevent the to be traded. There isnt a team that wants two players who dont perform in the post season. And look at it this way, if one sedin is struggling in a game, you can bet the other one is invisible as well. Now if they both get 25 min per game, that's 50 min of invisibility.
you see where I'm going with this? Can you imagine if this whole team where full of twins who cant perform? It's time this franchise has rules of standards in place. If you are not playing well, you sit. You don't get more and more ice time. AV obviously never believed in that, and year after year of the hockey gods showing him in the play offs how wrong he is, did he listen? One things for sure, AV is so dense, he's like a 12 year old dog who just keeps lingering on and needs to be put out of his misery. I bet the man is sitting in his home now, thinking that next year will be the year the Sedins and Raymond and Edler will lead the league in scoring and bring the cup to Vancouver.
What good is a coach if he cant even look at his teams and his own inability to succeed in the post season? Someone needs to tell Av that the regular season doesnt mean a hill of beans and for mercy's sake, give AV a reality Slap.
Joined up to let you know what a stupid article this is. Who cares, listing 5 strong players with good trade worthy contracts that won't get traded. Point? ... you do have a new "citizen" now.
what the hell is the point of making a post about the trade values of players and then literally selecting all the ones that will not be moved? seriously what?
For a team you don't like, you sure spend a lot of time thinking about the Canucks (the best NHL team in Canada for the last 6/7 years)!
Anyway, about your comment on the post, it is true about the Sedin's not being the top leaders... I would put them behind, Bieksa and Kesler in that area.
I would be interested to see an article from Agnus on who he thinks fits in on the Canucks from the market.
@@ sisters with small hearts moving company.
good work on being Wrong At All The Things i guess
May 11 2013, 10:41PM
44 years of losing dictates that I'am not wrong.
If you want to help your team you can start by pulling your delusional head of of your ass.
@clutch fan
Best team in Canada? Then why is the best team in Canada on the golf course now, fanboy?
As for the Sedins leading, leading in what area? The powers of invisibility? Punching Marchands glove with their face? Explain to me how they lead?
Of course you would be interested in stats, that what losers do and talk about, stats and numbers and rules and what ifs and what could's...Face it fanboy, the problem with the Cancuks are the same as how your mind operates.
I'm sure you;d like the league to give the Sedins an award for play off invisibility if you could, wouldnt you?
Why is it that you make so many excuses for such loser? Why is that? Have you ever played a competitive sport before? Doesnt sound like it, fanboy. Heck there's a more simple question...do you know what winning is as apposed to losing? It's obvious to me you dont.
Who in the league would want Alex Error? Would you want him on your team?
@clutch fan
Also, one doesnt need to spend any time thinking about a loser franchise because the fact that theyve never won anything in over 40 years and your response provides all I need to know about why they stink.
You best be a marriage counselor, not a canuck fan, it suits more to the way you think.
Sad to say, moderating is now needed for the comments. It's just getting brutal and detracts from the article, just as the good discussion on here used to add to the article. I'm just surprised it's sprung up during the offseason. Maybe it's just one person? Plain weird.
Eye roll. I've seen this happen before in forums where fanboys congregate like a swarm of wasps. It usually starts off a couple of comments made that the house fanboys dislike. Then there's a cry for moderation. Then there are comments the fanboys don't like that get banned. Then the site becomes nothing more than a fanboy butt kissing fest.
Some of the fanboys need to grow up. It's a part of life. If they don't like what someone has to say, even if it's the truth, then they need to man up and stop crying. Sadly, this mentality isn't rare anymore in these times. We see it everywhere, but especially the lack of accountability. The Canucks and their supporters are guilty of this. There are Canuck fans that want the team to man up and make real changes, not go through the same motions year after year, decade after decade. Sadly, it will fall on deafs ears because a team that has never had accountability exists because it has supporters who have no clue of what accountability is either.
It's time for the Canucks and it's fanboys to man up and admit that the pile of fertilizer dont smell like roses.
May 12 2013, 06:34AM
Hi, I started watching the team since they've were at the Pacific colosseum and I have to say things have progressive gotten worse. I cannot see this team winning cup with the Sedins. They have no grit, no heart, no toughness, no sacrifice, no passion for winning and no scoring for sure in the post season. The lack all the attributes any captain should have. You cannot ask a non leader to lead and expect anything otherwise.
The boston finals were an embarrassment to the citizens of Vancouver. I'd rather be called a rioter than have the Sedin's call themselves the leaders of this franchise. The Sedins may be good for the Swedish league, but not in the NHL. Lets give our Canadian boys who got skill and heart and are willing to do anything to win the cup a chance. I'm sick and tired of the 10 year Canuck cycle of over rated teams and players and the chances they undeservingly get.
The excuses from Gillis won't help this team except to save he and AV's job. They have never bother with drafting, scouting, managing, coaching. Grabner, look at where he is. it seems the franchise sees drafting as a way to aquire old go nowhere players. After years of losing, with no prospects, no young talent, no good core players, they begin another 10 year cycle of the same old. i don;t know who's more delusional at this point, a mental patient or Gillis and the organization and it's new hipster fans.
Totally agree that Henrik has no heart and is not tough. I mean, remember that hit by Brown last playoffs.
Took him right out, I mean what did he miss? 1 or 2 shifts? Must be pretty wimpy viking blood in those veins. I am sure a good old canadian boy would have just jumped right up and scored a goal.
The Sedins are awesome players that's for sure, and we are lucky to have them. Also, they do tremendous work for the community, and have really given back beyond what should be expected. I would put them up there with some of my fav Canucks of all time (also Burrows is up there).
However, for what it's worth, as much as they are some of the best leaders by example, I am not sure if Henrik is the best captain, and if Daniel should be an assistant captain. I just think that Bieksa and Kesler are better spokesmen, which I think would be a part of the job spec for captain on any team.
I think it should be Bieksa for Captain, Kesler and Henrik with an A... it is a really small thing, but just my thought on it.
So long as the Canucks keep pinning their hopes on two guys who don't hit, lead, or even score when it counts, or on a D that coughs up pucks, and on a goaltender who has meltdowns and lets in soft goals in critical times, they will never amount to anything. Just like the team fo yesteryear who had hope for Linden, Lumme and Mclean. You can't win the Belmont stakes with donkeys. And close isn't good enough, for every eyar there is always a finalist, we can;t use that as some excuse for success...it's not.
Gillis and AV should have gone along time ago. Though, it was Burke who brought in the Sedins, gillis has mismanaged this team with a passion. Gillis won't fire Av because Gillis knows that no one but Av is stupid enough to work with the over rated team he built.Gillis also knows that any other coach coming in will expose him for who is is, that is, an inexperienced lousy GM...and Gillis cannot have that if he want to keep his job.
You can't have a good hockey team when your GM is cares more about saving his own hide than anything else. The list of excuses from Gillis speaks for itself. He can't blame his players because he is the one who put them on the ice. and if it is the players and coaches fault, which it is, then that means Gillis is solely to blame. Gillis is a person not interested in anything but self preservation.
I can see what Gillis is thinking now, next year, if the team makes the playoffs again and wins 3 games in the first round, he'll come out and say it was a success...cause after all, let's face it, after this year, it can't get worse. Or can it. should Av stay, look for the players losing a whole streak of games when the season starts, and it will be another year wasted and bye bye Gillis and AV, and half the team. You can only get rid of people like Gillis when they fall on their own sword.
As for the Sedins, fans need to remember that this is a hockey team, this isn't charity. We don't pay the Sedins for doing community work, we pay him to win games. We are not paying the Sedins to get bowled over by Tim Thomas. He wears the C, it stands for Captain, not CAN"T.
@clutch fan
I have a feeling the first post from "Isabel" is actually that jerk @fancan or @something with a Habs in it (previous article), cuz I'm Isabel!!!! Anyway...
Agree. These people who hate and bash the Canucks spend an awful lot of time around these parts.
In regards to the article.... yeah, struggling to see the point of this one, however, would be interested in an article throwing out possible "reset" moves the canucks could realistically make...
Hey, do you want some more cheese with your whine? Put a sock in it lady. You sure you don't work for those losers? Cause it sounds like you do. you sure you're not Mr.s Gillis? Cause it sounds like you are. Hey, don't blame people who are NOT delusional and can see the team for what they are, a bunch of useless, over rated soft, playoff chokers that they've proven themselves to be.
Maybe you should realize that in " these parts" we don't like losers and folks support them. I have a feeling you work for that franchise and now all you're trying to do is to save your pathetic job. Newsflash lady, pro sports is about WINNING, not LOSING. Do you really think those loser at GM place are really going to win the cup? You really think that this was a successful year for that franchise.
You're so delusional it must hurt for you to be you.Just becuase you LOVE drinking the Canuck koolaid doesn't mean others have to.
Go away lady, your loserdom stinks so bad it makes my comment smell from here.
Yeah, and go ahead and blame me, or montreal, and the league, and the refs, and boston, and bettman, and the short season, and everything under the sun for your team sucking.
Blame everything but your two sisters, over rated goalie, useless defense and a whining crew with a clueless coach. Hey guess what, toronto hasn't made the playoffs for years and look how much better they're doing then your sucky team.
The only thing that needs "resetting" here is your delusional retarded devotion to losing, lady. Blind as a effing bat you are. Your team and you are an embarrassment to anyone living in Vancouver, 44 years of losing and you STILL have NO clue. Keep it up lady, another 44 years of awaits you and your sucky team.
I kind of feel sorry for you a little bit. I'm sure it's tough when nobody wants to suck your little wee wee. No wonder you're so angry and pathetic.
Look who's talking.I'm sure it's tougher when your team has been SUCKING for 44 years. How old are ya lady? You think you'll make to another 44 years of sucking? think your team will win the cup before you hit the grave? Don't bet on it you pathetic loser. Your team, a proven loser. You, now also a proven loser.
Bye Bye loser.LOL
You got burned, kid. HAHAHAHAHAHA!. Guys like you can't argue with facts so you have to blame others for having an opinion. Next thing you'll say is that no one is allowed to talk about your team's losses. Grow up, kid, don;t blame others for stating facts, blame your team for losing. that will make you less of a homer. HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
It's funny how there is a common factor with the Leafs and the nucks. Both were built by Burke,except that the leafs now have a better GM and coach and are one game away from beating the big bad Bruins. the Nucks on the other hand couldn't win one game against the so so Sharks in the first round and the team has been decimated even worse than the over rated one they had 3 years ago.
tis' not the best of times for the nucks. The only good news is that they fired Burke, problem is...they have 2 guys in AV and Gillis who are worse than Burke.
@fancan - who's your team?
Want to guess who is NOT my team?
Well I gotta hand it to the Leafs for taking game 6 and sending the series to a one game take all. it's so much different compared to the team here. They got a coach who likes to tell it like it is, good or bad, unlike AV. The players there not once have i heard making post game excuses like some of the so called leaders here. god, if I had a dollar every time I heard Daniel say that they deserved to win, or that they played well despite losing. I wouldn't need to work.
It's time for Canucks nation to buck up and stop making excuses for failures. it all starts with the owner down to the GM to the coach and scouting and players. You can't fire the the owner but how Gillis has managed to keep his job is the 10th wonder of this world.
Get out the brooms and finish the job the Sharks started.
Lol, well that's evident.
C'mon now, do tell.
Eye roll. I've seen this happen before in forums where fanboys congregate like a swarm of wasps. It usually starts off a couple of comments made that the house fanboys dislike. Then there's a cry for moderation. Then there are comments the fanboys don't like that get banned. Then the site becomes nothing more than a fanboy butt kissing fest.

I agree that we can all improve ourselves. Maybe Gandhi put it best: "We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him."
Thank you for your own intelligent words. Do you have a blog you can link to so we can learn more about your insights into "these times"? It sounds like you have years of experience in internet forums that we could all benefit from.
Just as I suspected @fancan can't man up with his team AND gets outwitted by a girl, TWICE!
Anyways, I come to these sites to read the articles and am interested in hearing their different opinions and point of views. Don't agree with all of them, but usually are great thought provoking articles, and then you get idiots coming along spewing complete childish nonsense... really too bad, and pathetic at the same time.
I suspect you're trying too hard to keep your job with that franchise. Better look for a new job that doesn't require accountability, sucker. LOL
Dude, this is a hockey site. you know, it's about pro hockey, and like any sport, there are winners and losers, and that line is very very thin. This site isn't about existential problems of mankind and what may ail them.
If you're looking for inward wisdom and philosophy, what are you doing here? Are you one of those comment cads on youtube and every where else who feel they have to discuss everything and anything in the world even though it has nothing to do with the site?
Let me remind you again that this is a hockey site, not a AA clinic, nor is it the Gandhi show, this isn't about philosophy either. If you don't like what someone has to say about a team then make your own comments about the team, not act like someone's has put their finger into your yogurt cup. Hey, it's about hockey, not about you you you you you, Comprende, amigo?
I just told you, only you're being s " Sedin " about it and can't accept it. Go read it again, and if you can't, then take some reading lessons. Note how it's just you and one more nitwit here who cant' accept the truth. You need to save yourself energy and use it to support Gillis and the sedins and Av and the rest of the cast of losers for next year. You're better when you fork out money to fill the seats over at Garbage Management Place, rather than trying to delude people here. After all, your team wouldn't suck so much without blind and dumb twits like yourself... and for that, you should give yourself a big pat on the back. Oh wait, you already have! LOL
Still can't answer the question eh?
I'm guessing your a pathetic HABS fan
... cuz they did really well this year... and oh, what place did they come in last year, and the year before that... That's what I thought.
Let me guess, oh the injuries, oh but the refs...
Go crawl back in your little hole you tiny little puke.
I'm done with you now.
How many cups your team won? Can you answer that question?
I'm guessing you're a loser , just like your team of 44 years plus a goose egg.
Speaking of excuses, look at what your GM had to say, and especially your two sisters.
Now, with that said, go back to buying tickets for your suck ass team, you little maggot.
You're done with me? LOL. Good one, you want a hanker-chief for your tears?
Your team is done and so are you. Go celebrate your presidents cups and your heroes, like Linden and Quinn and the sisters.
44 and a goose egg says you and your team are LOSERS.
Don't lie, you aint done yet. You want to lose another 44 years....you little gooey glob of slimey snot.
So as an avid oilers fan who flat-out dislikes the Canucks, I just have to weigh in on one point:
The Canucks are CLEARLY the best Canadian team of the last 6-7 years. CLEARLY. And I really don't like them... not a fan at all.
But come on, no one else is even close. Calgary and Edmonton are embarassing. No one has been afraid of playing Montreal in years, Toronto may be getting better (we'll see how they do next year).
Ottawa is fun to watch, and did a great job the last two years with a very depleted roster. They are in my opinion number 2 on this list... but a distant 2.
Doesn't mean I think Van has what it takes to win a cup. Doesn't mean I don't think they dive with the greatest vigor and intensity. But come on, the record speaks for itself, regardless of cup success.
It's suprising that the Canucks site with the biggest focus on analytics would have the most unintelligent comments section ever. I mean, this reads like a mixture of transcripts from a TEAM 1040 call-in show and the twitter feed of some random Canuck-hating Oiler fan.
Here come the excuses and the Canuck apologists.
Calgary and Edmonton have won the cup. The cup banners says it all. The Canaucks are 44 years of lies and pipe dreams. A true embarrassment to their own city. Winners are those who have won. the Canucks have never won, so they have no right to feel good about anything. Presidents Choice cups dont count.
What they CLEARLY are is an embarrassment and a WASTE of TIME. Don't make the play offs if all they ever are gonna do is CHOKE.
I'm not an apologist for anything. Did you even read my comment, or did you just glance over it, assume that I am a Canucks fan and dole out 'Generic Canucks Troll Comment #4564A"? All you've done is prove the point that no constructive discussion occurs in these comments.
44 years and 2 presidents cups. It doesn't take much to please ya, does it? If you're looking for intelligence, you won't find it from anything associated with the Canucks. If you were expecting that, then it's a sign of a lack of intelligence and rationale on your part. There is NO intelligence associated with 44 years of losing, none what so ever..only EXCUSES and APOLOGIES.
You're such a douche, learn how to read.
Learn how to NOT be a loser, loser. 44 years....nuff said. Get ready for another 44, asswipe.
I cant read as much as you cant see 44 years of losing, you sack of canuck feces.
Whatever you say fancan, oh I mean "rioter"... grow-up. And I'm not even a canucks fan and I can see how much of a loser YOU are.
If you're not a fan then why do you keep responding to me, loser? 44 years, loser, take it all in, you deserve it. 44 years Nuff said, again.

Three words may spell the end of the search for yield for a certain type of risk-tolerant investor: business development company. The emphasis, though, has to be on "risk tolerant."
BDCs, the subject of my print Barron's column over the weekend, are regulated, closed-end investment firms that make loans to, and/or invest in small, developing, or financially troubled companies. They've stepped into a role than commercial banks vacated during the financial crisis, lending to companies that may not otherwise get financing.
The yields are routinely above 8%, which is the key reason more investors are moving into this tiny niche (About "tiny": Total market cap in this sector is thought to be about $24 billion). Compare it to the 3%-4% yield of many real-estate investment trusts, or 5%-6% lately for high-yield bonds.
Attractive yields, for sure. But there's no free lunch. Those high payouts reflect the rewards of the sort of risky investments that many banks no longer can make. BDCs' net-asset values, moreover, unlike other fund types, need only be disclosed on a quarterly basis. That's not the same as knowing your mutual fund's NAV, since there's no exchange trading the often illiquid investments owned by a given BDC. Think of a business development company's NAV as more of a value estimate, one that lacks the input of a market price.
You are correct to guess that, in a selloff, BDCs often fall hard and fast. Some in the group fell by 60%, 70% and more from the market top in 2007 to the bottom of the financial crisis.
Of course, if you could stomach this risk lately, the investment has been well worth the reward.
A few examples: Ares Capital (ARCC), the biggest BDC with its $4.6 billion market cap, describes itself as "a specialty finance company that provides one-stop solutions to meet the distinct and underserved financing needs of private middle-market companies across diverse industries." ARCC is ahead 6% during 2013, after rising nearly 24% last year. Its dividend yield is 8.19%, according to FactSet Research Systems. Prospect Capital (PSEC) is "a leading provider of flexible private debt and equity capital to sponsor-owned and non-sponsor-owned middle market companies." Shares have gained 4.7% this year; they rose nearly 31% last year. The dividend yield is 11.82%.

Use the following tips in selecting the best driver education school for you:
Ask Friends and Neighbors
Have they attended a program? Can they recommend one for you?
Call Several Programs
Find out about course schedules, fees, registration procedures, and the next available course dates and times.
Visit Programs
Ask to see classrooms and if you could observe part of a course. Classrooms should be clean, orderly and set up to conduct classroom sessions. Ask to see the program textbook. (Note: The Georgia Driver's Manual is not a textbook.) Is the text up to date? Are there enough textbooks for all students?
Check the Driver Education Program License
It must be displayed in the school's business office.
Ask How Many Fully Licensed Driver Education Instructors Work for the School
Determine how many instructors teach classroom, behind-the-wheel, or both phases of the program. The number of instructors may affect the time it will take to complete all the program requirements.
Check Classroom vs. Behind The-Wheel-Sessions
See the average amount of time that's needed to complete the 30 hours of classroom and 6 hours behind-the-wheel. Make sure you don't have to wait a long time to start the behind-the-wheel phase of the course. The ideal program integrates behind-the-wheel and classroom training. Do not assume the fastest program is the way to go. New drivers need time to learn. Check details.
Check Details
Ask about refund policies, class make-up policies, and remedial training policies. Do you need to sign a contract?
Find out about Complaints
Ask how to file complaints and how the school resolves complaints.
Ask to see the Driver Education Vehicles
They should be clean, late model cars, and all must pass the Georgia Safety Inspection annually.
Find out if the Instructor Picks Students Up at Home
This is a convenience, but not a requirement, for the behind-the-wheel portion of driver education. It is very difficult to teach a behind the wheel session if the instructor is not familiar with the practice route.
Ask for References
Get a few names of previous students of the program you may call as a reference. Remember, price is not the sole factor in choosing a driver education program. You must compare instructional quality, class size and behind-the-wheel lessons. Choose your driver education program with care, and drive safely forever!
Students With Disabilities
Students with disabilities should choose a program with instructors and equipment designed for their specific needs. For instance, vehicles should include hand controls, an adjustable steering column, and other aids for disabled drivers.

England were left frustrated by a resurgent Italian performance as the hosts kept their Grand Slam hopes alive with an 18-11 win.
England were left frustrated by a resurgent Italian performance as the hosts kept their Grand Slam hopes alive with an 18-11 win.
Six penalties from Toby Flood kept England ahead on the scoreboard as Italy recovered from a 15-3 deficit at the start of the second half to leave Twickenham on edge in a dramatic finish.
The Azzurri resembled the side that were so impressive in their opening game of the championship against France – hounding England in defence and creating ample attacking opportunities in the second half against an opponent who they have never defeated.
Only desperate defence from England going into the final 10 minutes kept the hosts clinging on to the lead, with all thoughts of a first Grand Slam in a decade put firmly on hold.
England signalled their intent early on with a penalty from Toby Flood after just three minutes – the Leicester fly-half coming in for the injured Owen Farrell.
Mike Brown came close to the opening try after Luciano Orquera's kick was charged down, but the ball eluded him as he tried to make the grounding.
The hosts enjoyed all the possession throughout the opening minutes but were unable to find the opening try, Flood settling for another three points to leave England 6-0 up after 15 minutes.
Italy responded on their first visit to England's half with a penalty from Orquera after an effective driving maul, lifting the voices of the visiting fans. The Azzurri supporters grew even louder minutes later when Alessandro Zanni burst down the left touchline after Sergio Parisse's inside flick – only for the ball to be knocked on.
England's large swathes of possession created another try-scoring opportunity for the hosts, but Flood's attempted score was ruled out. Italy then lost scrum-half Edoardo Gori to the sin-bin for taking out Flood off the ball.
The hosts' power at the scrum was again capitalised on by Flood, who added a further three more points after a fine break from Brown to leave England 12-3 up going into the interval after a frustrating half for the home fans.
Another Flood penalty at the start of the second half extended the gap and left Italy chasing the scoreboard, Orquera responding with a penalty of his own after England collapsed at the scrum.
Care's sloppy box kick was then taken out of the air by Andrea Masi and Orquera's delicate chip across to the left wing was snapped up by Luke McLean to score in the corner.
Giovambattista Venditti then carried down the right touchline to leave English tacklers on the deck, but Orquera's resultant penalty attempt fell well wide to the right – failing to make the most of a passage of play where England lost control.
The introduction of Ben Youngs steadied Flood and England crept back to a seven-point advantage thanks to another penalty from the Leicester number 10.
Italy however continued to produce some of their best rugby in this year's championship, finding space down the left-hand side through McLean.
It meant that England were clinging on desperately to their lead as time ticked away, until a knock-on five metres from their own try line led to a collective sigh of relief from the 82,000 crowd.
Twickenham expected a thrashing – the humbled crowd left booing and counting their blessings.
Man of the Match: A whole host of Italian candidates to choose from in defeat, with Alessandro Zanni getting the nod ahead of his captain Parisse, Masi and winger McLean.
Moment of the Match: Courtney Lawes' crucial line-out steal with two minutes remaining that helped England ease the Italian pressure.
Villain of the Match: Starting his first Test for some time, Toby Flood may have kicked well off the tee but struggled to get England's backs firing.
The scorers:
For England:
Pens: Flood 6
For Italy:
Try: McLean
Pens: Orquera 2
Yellow Card: Gori
The teams:
England: 15 Alex Goode, 14 Chris Ashton, 13 Manu Tuilagi, 12 Brad Barritt, 11 Mike Brown, 10 Toby Flood, 9 Danny Care, 8 Tom Wood, 7 Chris Robshaw (c), 6 James Haskell, 5 Geoff Parling, 4 Joe Launchbury, 3 Dan Cole, 2 Tom Youngs, 1 Mako Vunipola.

Detroit's Queen of Soul revealed a little more than planned when she attended a Sunday reception.
On Monday, Aretha Franklin's representative said that when the Respect singer entered the White House for an event connected with the Kennedy Center Honors, she suffered a bit of a wardrobe malfunction. The upper half of her pink gown — with its white beaded bodice — wasn't hooked properly and partially slid down to her waist, exposing "her foundation-wearing girls in all their Victoria's Secret glory!"
Fortunately, Franklin's escort for the evening acted quickly, guiding her to a tented area and helping fasten the gown so she could party on with President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, 2012 honorees Buddy Guy, Dustin Hoffman, David Letterman, Natalia Makarova and the members of Led Zeppelin.

"Very comfortable. I got them in blue as a back-up shoe for my wedding in case my main (white) shoes become uncomfortable. If they do, these will be a dream to put on, and are very cute. Unfortunately they seem to be out of stock. I wanted to get them for my mother too but now can't find them in most sizes!"

Wedding Shoe of Choice!
"After months of shopping for a comfortable dress shoe to wear with my wedding dress, I came across this shoe by Lulu Townsend. I have wide feet that are slightly different sizes, and this shoe fit like a glove! It's very hard to find dress shoes available in wide sizes that are also attractive. I was skeptical because of the very good price, but these look much more expensive than they are! The strap across the top of the foot is plenty wide and is a comfortable material so it doesn't pinch at all. The cup for your heel holds your foot in place nicely, more like a bootie, so you have extra support. It also kept my dress from getting stuck in my shoe, like many other dress sandals did. I ordered a small sparkly clip online to add to the top of the shoe, which really enhance the look. I would definitely recommend this shoe!"

Gorgeous sandals
"They are gorgeous, the blue is beautiful.I have skinny feet so they are a tiny too wide for me but it's nothing that an insert won't be able to fix. Now, I have just received them but I haven't walked in them yet. Seemed comfy when I tried them on."

"This purse exceeded my expectations! I love Audrey Brooke's products and this one is beautiful. The color is a little darker than on-line which makes it so handsome and gives it an equestrian look. My wallet "just" fit so I am one happy lady! Definitely recommend this purse it's classy and will be a timeless bag!"

"I just received this purse and the brown leather accented by the gold buckles looks beautiful! It's very classy; however, it's too small for my needs. It looks a bit larger in the picture but in person, it's just large enough for my wallet :-(I put a normal DVD cover in the pic so that you can compare size."
