Calgary Trades the rights to D Jordan Leopold and a 3rd Round pick for the rights of D Jay Bouwmeester. http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=283033
This is not good news at all for my Canucks. I thought that they didn't have the cap space for him, but taking a closer look, they just might have enough. They have 8.5 million free, but they need to sign/call up 3 forwards. If they sign Bouwmeester for say, 5.5 million, they'll have 3 million left to sign 3 500k guys (or slightly above) and still be under the cap. They won't have any semblance of a 2nd line, but they'll have a very deep defense. I hope he waits till the 1st, and sees what other offers come his way.
