LeBrun: I don't think Canucks are shopping Matthias, but...

Pierre LeBrun was on Vancouver’s TSN 1040 on Tuesday afternoon.

On if Shawn Matthias is available:

"I don’t know if it’s as much available as if that’s what it takes to make a hockey deal, then I think it’s something maybe Vancouver would do. I don’t think they’re shopping him at all. He’s played well of late for the Canucks.

“From what I was told from talking to a source on another team is that the Canucks are looking to make a hockey deal, the jargon that we use these days. Trading a player for a player, or that type of deal. And if that’s what it takes in that type of deal, then I think given that his deal is up, then I think they would throw him in there.

“But I don’t want to give the impression that they’re shopping him. I think it’s just that if there are guys on their roster that they need to move to make the kind of deal they want to make, I think that might be one of them.

“But for sure, I mean, Kassian is the guy that, as you guys know - we’ve been talking about all year - I think they’d rather move.”
