Advice
New Canucks general manager Mike Gillis confirmed Demitra's trip during a radio interview. However, Gillis, Demitra's agent until last month, is not officially allowed to talk to him until he becomes a free agent July 1. Demitra is coming off of a tough offensive season, in which he had just 15 goals and 54 points in 68 games. He had at least 20 goals in each of his previous nine campaigns.
