Fantasy Analysis
Canucks general manager Mike Gillis wouldn't comment on the situation, but he didn't deny that buying out Manny Malhotra was a possibility. The veteran center has struggled to rediscover his form after suffering a brutal eye injury during the 2011 season. He finished 2012 with 18 points in 78 games. (Updated 04/26/2012).

Alex Burrows and Daniel and Henrik Sedin combined for 10 points in the Vancouver Canucks' 6-2 thrashing of the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night.
Prior to suffering a gruesome eye injury, Malhotra was having a fine season for the Canucks, totaling 30 points (11 G, 19 A) while leading the third line for the first 72 games of the season. Malhotras eye injury was originally expected to sideline him for the remainder of the season and possibly threaten his career, but the 31-year-old center was able to make a return during the Stanley Cup Final. With a full offseason to recover, Malhotra should be ready to assume the same third-line duties he held prior to the injury.
