The Canucks were looking to address that lack of depth down the middle, and they did it without having to part with draft picks. Amazing, right? Now, the immediate reaction a lot of Canucks fans are having is that somehow the Kings ripped the Canucks off. I get that. There was a lot of expectations with Jordan Subban, and not all of them attached to his last name. And after an All Star season in the AHL, some felt that maybe he was going to finally get his shot. The Canucks obviously felt otherwise, and one only has to look at his performance thus far, with zero goals and just 5 assists in 16 games, for a guy that’s supposed to be an offensive defenceman, that’s just not good enough.
