The Vancouver Canucks are going for the playoffs. General Manager Jim Benning has said it many times: tanking is against the club’s standards — and most fans agree with that.
So it comes to no one’s surprise that the idea of trading away one of Vancouver’s top goal scorers is met with a lot of scepticism. But yet, getting rid of right winger Radim Vrbata, who is currently the team’s third-best goal scorer, could end up being a win-win situation for the Canucks.
In 2014-15, Vrbata finished the season with 31 goals and 63 points in 79 games.
