Canucks deal Malone and others for John Madden

To Toronto:


Vancouver BC



After hours of intense phone calls and meandering back and forth Toronto and Vancouver came to an trade agreement which sees Ryan Malone, Daniel Winnik and Patrik Thorensen leave and John Madden and Jiri Dopita arrive. The deal was rumoured to have more involved but the final outcome was this.

The trade brings in a more defensive player in John Madden and sees a offensive grinder in Ryan Malone leave. GM Shepherd went on record as saying unfortunately with the way Ryan plays he takes a lot of minor penalties and that has hurt us this year with our team currently in dead last in penalty killing at under 70%. He finished by saying John Madden is a winner all he does is win and he will help on the PK which is dead last.

The Canucks are on the road with stops in Columbus and Carolina.
