Kevin Bieksa has played his last game for the Vancouver Canucks, at least for now.
We thought Bieksa would be traded during the draft. While that didn’t happen, it didn’t take long afterwards for the deal to be made. The defenseman has been moved to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for a 2016 second-round pick.
It looked like Bieksa would be traded to the San Jose Sharks early on in the draft proceedings. However, the deal fell apart and the Canucks obviously had to look elsewhere. Bieksa now joins a strong defense group in Anaheim, who are definitely looking to get over that hump and back to the Stanley Cup Finals.
