The Vancouver Canucks have made a significant move ahead of the NHL trade deadline, acquiring a third-round pick in 2025 from the New York Rangers in exchange for defenceman Carson Soucy. This decision comes as Soucy, who has played 59 games this season with three goals and seven assists, continues to add depth to the Canucks' blue line. Since entering the league, he has accumulated over 300 regular-season games and playoff experience, highlighting his value to any team.

At 30 years old, Soucy, originally drafted by the Minnesota Wild in the fifth round of the 2013 draft, has been a versatile player throughout his career, spending time with the Minnesota Wild, Seattle Kraken, and now the Canucks. The Rangers will benefit from his defensive skills as they navigate the playoffs, while the Canucks continue to rebuild and stockpile assets for the future.
