Ossi Vaananen

The Vancouver Canucks picked up Ossi Vaananen off waivers from Philadelphia early Saturday morning. He is a 28 year old defence man. This is a very good pick up, getting him for half price. We know have 6 solid defense man, plus 4 or 5 good back ups in case of injury. If the Vancouver Canucks go deep into the playoffs this will help a lot because we can put in these trustworthy defense man to have some fresh legs out there. Vaananen skated for the first time this morning in practice.
