The Vancouver Canucks disappointed on retro night, losing 5-2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs, the worst team in the NHL. That game might have been the last chance for the Canucks to prove that they can be a playoff team — as they would have gone on a three-game winning streak — and they failed.
With that, the rumour mill likely won’t slow down before the deadline. Dan Hamhuis and Radim Vrbata should be the club’s main trade baits, but there is another long-time Canuck who could be let go: Alex Burrows.
According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman on Saturday Headlines, Burrows would be willing to waive his no-trade clause if that is where the club wants to go.
