CANUCKS LAND SANDERSON

The Vancouver Canucks acquired left-winger Geoff Sanderson from the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for a third-round draft pick in 2004.

What does it give the Vancouver Canucks
Sanderson has outstanding speed and a lethal shot, but he's a very streaky who teases all with his ability only to disappear for lengthy stretches, as he has this year. However, the Canucks need an offensive winger to spread out the scoring, especially now that Todd Bertuzzi is facing a stiff suspension.

What does it give the Columbus Blue Jackets
With Columbus headed for the draft lottery, Columbus sheds a little cash and opens a slot for a prospect to play out the season.
