In winger Andrew Gordon, the Canucks gained a player with 49 NHL games under his belt for both the Washington Capitals and Anaheim Ducks, all for the cost of Sebastian Erixson, who was unlikely to become anything more than an AHL level player. Gordon, who registered 57 points in 50 regular season games for the Hershey Bears last season, will likely be sent down to Chicago and may possibly be used as a depth player if the Vancouver forward group are hit by injuries.
