A trade between the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins? That automatically has to be met with some skepticism.
Of course, the Canucks infamously dealt Cam Neely to the Bruins back in 1986, before he went on to have a Hall of Fame-worthy career.
In fact, the last trade between Canucks and Bruins was when Vancouver dealt Jiri Slegr for future considerations back on January 17th, 2004.
So yeah, it’s been a while.
However, the Canucks are in a position to add to their protection list heading into the 2021 expansion draft next month.
