Opens a roster spot….1 million in cap…healthy scratch…toch wasn't a fan…works for me. Wish him the best…hockey guy said there was a agreement with sprong if he didnt work out nucks would trade him
Poor Sprong, didn’t give him enough time imo
No surprise, making room for Lek. Suspension should of been 5 games.
Sprong sprung! He failed to click, the Toc clock ticked, and Alvinn flicked.
Thanks for watching folks! I wrote about it more here and touched on the Lekkerimäki angle as well: https://canucksarmy.com/news/instant-reaction-vancouver-canucks-trade-sprong-kraken-nhl-explains-jeannot-suspension

The Canucks best roster, with Lekkerimaki, Joshua and Demko, will be on the ice soon.
3 games is not enough !!! It could be more than three games out for Brock !!!
Sprong was only going to stick here if he scored a lot more than he has. In the end freeing up his cap space was a more valuable commodity than keeping him as a fourth liner or extra forward. Another good move by Allvin.
Dang, Quads had this out super quick. Appreciate the dedication!
$975 k to use in a trade for a better Dman
1 minute to explain yourself? That's why you are failing.
The offending player should only be allowed back when the injured player returns. It will never happen, but it's the only way the NHL will eliminate these cheap shots.
Stop with the "work in progress" approach. Pettersson's $11.6M is forcing Allvin to hire inexpensive "projects". So many new faces at discount prices that won't move the needle.
Frees up a roster spot and cap space. Good trade
Don't think he fit in the room
Need the roster spot for Leker and Dak
Suspension at least 4 games. Head was targeted. Jeannott knew what he was doing. Disgrace
Should’ve been 25 games
I thought he was actually doing quite well and provided some 4th line offense, especially with bains and Suter
Must mean that they believe in Raty, Bains and Lekkerimaki
We couldn’t pull a late late draft pick?
Clearly, they're making room for th return of Dakota Joshua. Sprong became expendable. Feel bad for the guy.
Ok you Canuckleheads, lets make sure this Jeannot incident isn't a repeat of the totally ignoramous Bertuzzi Moore retaliation debacle. When they play next someone steps up and fight him.. AND THEN IT"S OVER.
Move da fck along, it's a sport not a teenage grudge match. FFS!
Before the Boeser hit: allow Lekkerimaki to slow cook in the AHL. After the Boeser hit: get him up with the big club, stat!
I love the quick move on Sprong. Good for the team and the player.
Just like a rookie ya get a 9 game
trial to prove you can stay in the lineup or you’re gone! and Sprong ain’t gonna go to the AHL
Lekke up
Thay are not going to bring up Lekkermaki. I dont care what ya'll say or think. He needs a FULL season in the AHL. No cups of coffee this year. Just let him develope. Everyone saying bring him up, will be complaining and whining when he gets injured, or doesnt play well. Then youll say he was rushed. Its a catch 22. Let Lekkermaki marinate in the minors.
