Lightning Round: Vancouver Canucks in the market for defense bolstering

The Vancouver Canucks have only won one game this season (last night), so now they’re putting feelers out for help on defense. Yesterday we talked about the possibility Cal Foote is expendable, and I think he is. Philippe Myers, too. In a vacuum he might not fetch very much value back, but for a desperate Canucks team pressed up against the cap debating between a cheap pickup versus spending a lot more for someone better, Foote might be all they can afford.

Looking at forwards that could come the other way, I see some good players on AHL deals with Abbotsford for the Crunch, or one of many on the NHL roster making less than a million right now.
