Even as the Canucks prepared themselves for his exit, there was a sobering finality to the door closing behind him when Tyler Myers left Rogers Arena. Iain MacIntyre caught up with the defenceman after his trade to Dallas.

It sure would help the sales team if the Canucks didn’t look so overmatched and uncompetitive during deadline week. But after another lopsided loss on Monday, the Canuck have just one game remaining to showcase themselves.

It's been exactly two years since the Canucks signed Elias Pettersson to a contract extension and even the forward knows he hasn't "lived up to expectations," Iain MacIntyre writes.

With the NHL's trade deadline rapidly approaching, all we know for sure is that Filip Hronek is one of a few Canucks who appear to be untouchable. Iian MacIntyre dives into recent comments from around Vancouver praising the defenceman's impact and leadership.

The impending departure of Tyler Myers would certainly be a blow to teammates and, especially, the young defencemen on the team he willingly mentors.

Buium's status and pedigree have not exempted him from the same first-year growing pains that afflict and sometimes ambush nearly all NHL rookies.
