The Vancouver Canucks made their second waiver-wire acquisition of the week as they picked up forward Travis Boyd. The move comes just a few days after the Canucks picked-up another forward from the Maple Leafs in Jimmy Vesey.
So far this season, the 27-year-old Boyd has played 20 games with the Toronto Maple Leafs in which he has recorded three goals and five assists. He’s a versatile player who can play both in the middle as well as along the wing and carries a measly cap hit of $700k.
“From what I’ve seen, I’ve liked him, our scouts have liked him, and obviously Jim [Benning] did too,” said head coach Travis Green on Monday morning.
