Great trade for Gillis, Connauton was never going to play for the Canucks with Hamhuis, Bieksa, Edler, Garrison and Tanev preety much locked. He is behind Corrado, Sauve and even Andersson on the D prospect depth for the Canucks.
Now a Raymond trade tommorow could be in the works... If Gillis can get Clowe from SJ that would be a huge upgrade on Raymond for playoffs.
Kesler is slated to return in a week so this is like getting 2 top 6 centers on trade deadline.
Also, i have a feeling Raymond and Ballard will be gone tommorow.. MacKenzie said this trade doesnt mean the Canucks are out on the Clowe deal.
