Vancouver Canucks general manager Jim Benning has swung another trade, sending defenceman Michael Del Zotto to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for Luke Schenn and a seventh round pick.
Sportsnet’s John Shannon broke the news of the trade.
The trade was announced during Vancouver’s home contest against the Edmonton Oilers, a 4-3 shootout loss. It’s the second trade Benning has made in the new year, having recently sent Anders Nilsson and Darren Archibald to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for Tom Pyatt, Mike McKenna and a sixth round pick.
