Canucks trade defenceman Carson Soucy to Rangers for third-round pick
The Vancouver Canucks blueline is in for another shake-up.
The team is trading defenceman Carson Soucy to the New York Rangers in exchange for a third-round pick, per Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman.
The 30-year-old took a dip this season and was healthy-scratched by head coach Rick Tocchet twice ahead of the 4 Nations Face-Off break.
Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported earlier in February that the Canucks were actively searching for a trade partner for Soucy.
The Viking, Alta. native has three goals and 10 points in 59 games, but sits at a career-low minus-13.
He signed a three-year, $9.75 million contract with the Canucks as a free agent in 2023.
