They wouldn't have done what they did for any other reason. They would have traded him for whatever they could get.

Actually he was playing so bad we probably couldn't have traded him. This would have looked horrible on our part as well to ditch out on this guy in this situation.

How would the canucks have benifited taking him out of the lineup if not for health reasons?

Well we were up against the cap as always.

It was game 9 where decisions had to be made moving forward. He had zero points and was a minus 3. He looked like he had lost it at that point. We had to get him out the line-up.

You guys got to understand Malhotra was untradeable at this point. Who would trade for a guy in that situation where he was at then? No one.

He literally played 97 games for us before that last game. So either we played him for 90+ games and put him at danger or he wasn't in danger. Obviously it wasn't his health at issue here because he played 98 games.

At the end of the day if Gillis defines it as concern for injury or for concern over play it's pretty gray but the facts speak pretty loudly here.
