Vancouver Canucks Trade Zack Kassian For Brandon Prust, Re-sign Weber Amid Off-Season Of Transition

The Canadian Press, 01 Jul, 2015 04:21 PM
    VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks are in transition and kept the changes coming on the first day of free agency.
     
    Vancouver traded right-winger Zack Kassian and a fifth-round pick in 2016 to the Montreal Canadiens for left-winger Brandon Prust.
     
    The Canucks also brought back Yannick Weber to a US$1.5-million, one-year deal and signed goaltender Richard Bachman for two years and defenceman 
     
    Taylor Fedun for one.
     
    The 26-year-old Weber remains on the Canucks' blue line, which is expected to be younger after the club traded Kevin Bieksa to Anaheim.
     
    "Excited to spend another year with the @VanCanucks," Weber tweeted. "Thank you to the fans and organization for the support."
     
    Weber has 63 points in 229 NHL games with the Canucks and Montreal Canadiens.
