Canucks are shopping Carson Soucy – so what does he bring to the table?

Earlier this week, the Vancouver Canucks made it known that they were willing to trade defenseman Carson Soucy. He hasn’t been the only Canuck to struggle this season, but he’s been one of the more noticeable ones, and as the Canucks make more additions to their back end, he’s slowly becoming the odd man out.

Frank Seravalli talked about Carson Soucy’s availability on his latest Ice Breakers segment on Daily Faceoff Live, and how he should certainly be a defenseman teams take a look at.

Frank Seravalli: The Vancouver Canucks sent out a memo on Monday advising the rest of the league that Carson Soucy is available via trade. Now, that is a factual matter. He is available by trade, but it’s important to point out that Carson Soucy has a full no-trade clause for this season. He does have one year left on his deal and a very reasonable $3.25 million.

But he’s someone who’s game has not been in order this season. He has struggled for a big chunk of this year. You see last night’s game, 13 minutes played and he’s someone that, when Quinn Hughes is back, is probably likely to be on the outside looking in again. It’s a bit of a surprising twist for a guy that was such a big part of Vancouver’s playoff run last year and can be a really impactful playoff piece with the size that he has.

I think a team would be really wise to go out and grab Carson Soucy. Also, he’s not a rental, he’s not going to cost you anything more than any of the other rentals that are on the market, and you get the bonus year from him at, with the cap going up, I think a manageable number.
