What does Sutter bring to the Canucks? Despite having fewer points than Bonino, Sutter did much of his work behind Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin as a third-line center, meaning that he wouldn't necessarily get the better wingers to play with, plus he's a more responsible player in his own end. Consistency is also a strength of his, something that wasn't evident with Bonino, who started out hot, but tailed off badly as the season went on. The Canucks also lose defensive depth with Clendening, who was acquired last season in exchange for another prospect in Gustav Forsling. This is where the worries for Canucks fans should begin, as ultimately, the Canucks gave away a potential top offensive defenseman for nothing. As for draft picks, it appears to be the pick they acquired in the Kevin Bieksa deal earlier this month.
