Kevin Bieksa has been a member of the Vancouver Canucks from the moment he first stepped on NHL ice in the 2005-06 season. He was drafted by them in 2001. He has played 597 games with them.
But after this weekend, there’s a chance his time with the Canucks could be over.
According to Farhan Lalji of TSN, the Canucks have asked if Bieksa would consider waiving his no-trade clause if the right deal came along, and the veteran defenseman said he would. That’s not a formal waiving of the NTC, mind you – just a gentleman’s agreement, considering things could be in the works for GM Jim Benning.
