Trade Alert!
The Vancouver Canucks have trade goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere, their 19th round selection, and their 20th round selection, to the Anaheim Mighty Ducks for goalie Mikka Kiprusoff, defenseman Sheldon Souray, and a 22nd round selection.
This trade IMO makes our team better. The goalie swap was done mainly to get Giguere's clutch playoff play(not that Kipper is bad, but Jiggy was fantastic), to get a good pick for a defenseman, and to upgrade on a pick. Souray is a good defenseman, but we are worried that his end of the season play, which was average, and his injury prone-ness may come back to haunt the team. The pick of Zubov made him that much more expendable, and eventually sent him to Vancouver. We also upgrade picks, which can really help the team out.
We wish the best of luck to both Mikka and Sheldon in Vancouver.
