The Canucks have been working the phones tonight, and have struck another deal.

The Vancouver Canucks send:

Straight off his 2 goal breakout evening, Milan Lucic and Cliff's baby boy, Ty Ronning.

To the Mississauga Steelheads for:

Ol' Grey Beard Patrick Marleau and (well I don't have a fancy nickname for him) Adam Erne

*Lucic to be released by Mississauga upon confirmation of the deal.

Confirmed

Yup!

Really tough to let Patty go, one of my fav NHLers in RL, and a leader on our team.. But we love what Ty is doing right now and have some openings in our youth ranks..

As far as Milan, we wish him well and hopefully he can find a team to stick with in the near future as he still provides some value.

This move was about cap space and the future.
