A 5'10", 187 lb., 31 y.o. defenceman who has never played a complete NHL season and has four goals and 32 assists in 179 games over five seasons (and who cleared waivers at a salary that would be completely buried) is traded for a career minor-league forward who will never make it to the NHL?
Hold still, my beating heart!
The Canucks have clearly moved on from Alex Biega and have done the gentlemanly thing by giving him a chance to round out his career elsewhere.
It all speaks well of Jim Benning and Canucks management.
