Along with revealing he had agreed to waive his no-trade clause for a blockbuster deal with the New York Rangers.
Several other sources have confirmed that the deal is done, and that the Canucks will also be sending other pieces and prospects in a larger package.
Per Vince Z. Mercogliano, who is a respected Rangers insider, has revealed the Canucks were mostly interested in promising Rangers defenseman
Braden Schneider, but the Rangers repeatedly said
