The
Canucks made two new trades this afternoon. They
reacquired Brent Sopel from the
Los Angeles Kings for a second and a fourth-round draft pick. Also coming to Vancouver,
Bryan Smolinski from the Chicago Blackhawks for a conditional second-round draft pick. I actually liked Sopel when he played for us, it was Marc Crawford who had a problem with him. Which is probably one of the reasons
he's back here, since Crawford's coaching the Kings now. We were always looking for another centre, so Smolinski is a pretty good pick. He can play centre or on the wing. Overall, I like the moves the Canucks made. Click the blog title for more information on the trade.
