Former Vancouver Canucks goaltender Richard Brodeur blasted current Canucks management for trading Arturs Silovs to the Pittsburgh Penguins earlier in the summer.
A trade between the Vancouver Canucks and Pittsburgh Penguins earlier in the summer sent goaltender Arturs Silovs, once seen as a potential goalie of the future in Vancouver, to Steel City.
The Canucks got Chase Stillman and a 4th round pick in the 2027 NHL Entry Draft in return for Silovs.
Brodeur Says Moving Silovs Was a Mistake Despite Goalie Room Depth
Former Canucks goalie Richard Brodeur believes the trade of Silovs to the Penguins was a mistake.
That kid is ready, and he’s going to have a good career, so I don’t know why they let this guy go, but I’m not the management.
Brodeur played 8 years in a Canucks sweater during the 1980s.
Silovs’ AHL MVP Season Makes His Trade All the More Puzzling
Silovs, who became the starter for the Canucks in the 2024 postseason thanks to Demko’s injury and the struggle of now-ex Canuck Casey DeSmith, spent the majority of last year in the AHL with the Abbotsford Canucks.
He would lead them to the Calder Cup and even earned the Jack A. Butterfield Trophy as the postseason MVP.
There are likely many Canucks fans who agree with Brodeur that they may have given up on him too quickly, especially after his MVP year in the AHL.
