Canucks pull off another trade!

The Vancouver Canucks are working the trade market again. On Friday, team general manager Patrik Allvin announced that the Canucks have acquired defenseman Nick Cicek and a sixth-round pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for forward  Jack Studnicka.

Cicek is a 23-year-old blue liner who took part in 18 games with the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) this season. He’s put up a goal and three points and a total of 21 penalty minutes. In 108 career AHL games, all spent with the Barracuda, Cicek has accumulated 31 points (7-24-31) and 121 penalty minutes.

He has also played in 16 NHL games for the Sharks, collecting four assists and 15 penalty minutes.

Cicek originally signed an entry-level contract with the San Jose Sharks as an undrafted free agent.

Studnicka will get a chance to benefit from a change of scenery in San Jose, while Vancouver sheds a 1-way salary and gets a draft pick in the process.

Folks in Vancouver appear to be loving this trade:
