Early in the year, it was like Canucks players had forgotten how to play hockey altogether. Passes weren’t clicking. The players looked like they’d never played defence before.
In today’s NHL rumors rundown, the Vancouver Canucks are looking for a trade partner and searching league-wide for a forward 25-or-under. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Kings are looking to make a deal and seeking out a team that has a dynamic defenseman available. Derek Stepan is injured and the news about how long he’ll be out is not great.
From Leivo’s perspective, if he was able to play, more he would get more offensive opportunities and be able to better contribute to the team. From Ward’s view, he cannot give minutes to a player who is struggling as badly as Leivo is at the moment. The good news for both is that this long slump may soon be over with.
