General Manager Patrik Allvin revealed that the Canucks have successfully acquired defenseman Nikita Zadorov from the Calgary Flames. In exchange, the Flames secured a fifth-round pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft (originating from CHI) and a third-round pick in 2026.
This strategic move adds extra toughness to the Canucks' defensive lineup as they strive for a playoff push. Importantly, the cost for Vancouver was minimal, allowing them to maintain their valuable assets.
