Rick Dhaliwal: The Bruins scouted the Canucks-Panthers earlier this week. The Bruins were interested in Thomas Vanek two years ago, and are believed to be one of the teams interested in defenseman Ben Hutton.
J.D. Burke: The Canucks have liked Ryan Spooner for years. He’s had an up-and-down year with the Bruins.
Patrick Johnston: Canucks GM Jim Benning was running the Bruins drafts when they selected Spooner in the 2010 draft.
J.D. Burke: (asked if a Ryan Spooner for Ben Hutton trade if fair value) At first thought the Canucks would win the trade, but Canucks should be looking at prospects.
