Plus, Buium has slowed down a lot since getting there. 2 points in his first game. Two assists since, despite being give 67% offensive zone starts (highest on the team). And he's been a giveaway machine.
Rossi has two points total for the Canucks. His possession stats are among the worst on the team. I think Bahl was a better pickup than him impact wise as far as getting a youngish player in a trade.
