VANCOUVER - The Vancouver Canucks finally found a taker for Kevin Bieksa.
Vancouver traded the veteran defenceman to the Anaheim Ducks for a 2016 second-round pick.
The Canucks had been looking to deal Bieksa at the draft and came close to sending him to the San Jose Sharks.
Bieksa has one year left on his contract at a salary-cap hit of US$4.6 million.
The 34-year-old Grimsby, Ont., native is a hard-nosed, defensive-minded defenceman with 241 points in 597 NHL games.
