Radim Vrbata’s stint with the Vancouver Canucks has come to an abrupt and somewhat bitter ending. After scoring 31 goals last season and putting up 62 points, last year’s winner of the Canucks’ Most Exciting Player award has certainly fallen out of favours with the box score keepers.
Now that his season has been terminated after suffering a leg injury against the Edmonton Oilers, Vrbata is almost certain to be the next victim of Jim Benning‘s youth movement and will try his luck in the open market as his contract yields to an unrestricted free agent status.
