With the NHL entry draft under way, the Vancouver Canucks have made a few small changes to their team. The Canucks obtained defenceman Keith Ballard and prospect Victor Oreskovich from the Florida Panthers in a trade for forwards Steve Bernier and Michael Grabner along with a first round draft pick.

The Canucks next chance at a selection comes in the fourth round where they have the 115th, 145th, 172nd and 205th picks.

Ballard collected 28 points in 82 games while Oreskovich had picked up 6 points in 50 games with the Panthers this past season.
