MINOR 'NUCKS-BLUES SWAP

The Vancouver Canucks acquired defenseman Zack Fitzgerald from the St. Louis Blues for center Francois-Pierre Guenette.

What does it give the Vancouver Canucks
A stay-at-home defenseman who also spent some time in the ECHL, Fitzgerald should stick with the Manitoba Moose this season.

What does it give the St. Louis Blues
Guenette is a depth forward who will shore up the forward lines in Peoria of the American League after spending the last two seasons in the ECHL. He has third-line NHL upside, but will not have a chance to show it this year.
