-Vintage Canuck- Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Quote Vancouver, BC - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has acquired forward Brendan Leipsic from the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for defenceman Philip Holm. Leipsic, 23, has registered 13 points (2-11-13) in 44 games with the Vegas Golden Knights this season. In 2016.17, Leipsic recorded 51 points (18-33-51) in 49 games with the Toronto Marlies finishing second on the team in scoring and tied for second in assists. The year prior, Leipsic scored his first NHL goal in his first NHL game on Feb. 13/16 versus Vancouver. In 50 career NHL games split between Vegas and Toronto, the 5-10, 180-pound forward has recorded 16 points (3-13-16). A native of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Leipsic was originally selected by Nashville in the third round, 89th overall, at the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/vancouver-canucks-brendan-leipsic/c-296378210 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette Celly Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Okay, this one I don't get. Must figure Holm isn't going to be an NHL player. In the words of some Toronto media hacks, "There are tonnes of Brendan Leipsics out there." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Monahan Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Unexpected to say the least. Another of Green's former Portland players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Yay a Canuck trade to talk about!!! But its doesnt solve the ovlerload on left D as Holm was just brought up to add to that. Guess he was showcased vs Vegas. Leipsic is small, so not what JB said he was after, no Max Domi no eh?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nooks Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Actually pretty good trade as long as its straight across, Leipsic is alright only 23 and Holm was free. Wonder if we move Baer now with an extra LW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
