On Sunday morning, the Vancouver Canucks announced that they’ve placed veteran forward Sven Baertschi, as general manager Jim Benning continues to work towards finding him a new team.
This comes one day after Rick Dhaliwal of TSN 1040 reported that Vancouver is exploring a trade for Baertschi. But so far, there aren’t any indicators that Benning is close to moving out the 2011 first-round pick.
Don’t forget that Baertschi was placed on waivers before the start of the season. But nobody picked him up, and Baertschi was sent to the Utica Comets.
