Mandatory Credit: Simon Fearn-Imagn Images The Vancouver Canucks have made their first trade ahead of the deadline, sending defenseman Carson Soucy to the New York Rangers for a 2025 third-round pick. The pick the Canucks received in the deal originally belonged to San Jose. This is the second trade Vancouver and New York have made this season, with the first being the J.T. Miller deal. Latest From THN's Vancouver Canucks Site [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/vancouver-canucks/]: Why The 2016 Trade Deadline Could Serve As A Good History Lesson For The Canucks When It Comes To Brock Boeser [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/vancouver-canucks/latest-news/why-the-2016-trade-deadline-could-serve-as-a-good-history-lesson-for-the-canucks-when-it-comes-to-brock-boeser] Looking Back At Last Year’s Thrilling Canucks And Phil Kessel Saga [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/vancouver-canucks/latest-news/looking-back-at-last-years-thrilling-canucks-and-phil-kessel-saga] Two Former Canucks Defensemen Moved Ahead Of NHL Trade Deadline [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/vancouver-canucks/latest-news/two-former-canucks-defensemen-moved-ahead-of-nhl-trade-deadline] Moving Soucy opens up $3.25 million in cap space for next season. The 30-year-old defenseman also had a no-trade clause this season and needed to waive it in order to be traded to the Rangers. As for the pick coming back to the Canucks, it means that Vancouver once again has a third-round pick in this upcoming draft, as they traded theirs away to the Montréal Canadiens. In a statement, GM Patrik Allvin wrote, "Carson was a big part of our success last season, helping our group take a positive step forward in the right direction. He is a true professional both on and off the ice and we wish him nothing but the best in New York." Soucy leaves the organization having recorded 16 points and 151 hits in 99 games. He also played a significant role during the organization's 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs run, averaging 16:58 of ice time over the 12 games. It is safe to say that Soucy left the Canucks in style as he scored the game-winning goal in a 3-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks in what was his final game with the team.
