The Vancouver Canucks are reported to be interested in New Jersey Devils forward Wayne Simmonds in the lead-up to this year’s trade deadline.
The rumour was first put out by Rick Dhaliwal of TSN 1040, and it gained traction after being reported upon during a recent segment of TSN’s Insider Trading. Simmonds, 31, is a pending unrestricted free agent, having signed a one-year deal worth $5 million with the New Jersey Devil last offseason.
The two-time 60-point scorer has five goals and 14 assists in 53 games so far this season.
