There have been more than a few passing references to the "Calgary Canucks" these days. It seems the NHL's Calgary Flames off-season game plan is to fill roster holes by raiding the unrestricted free agents of their arch rival Vancouver Canucks. Of course that is highlighted by stealing MVP goaltender Jacob Markstrom. The Flames handed Markstrom an exorbitant contract of $36 million over the next six years.
There were probably more than a few teams willing to lowball Leivo with a show-me-what-you-got contract for one year.
The Alberta Junior Hockey League's Calgary franchise is named the Canucks, and has been since 1971.
But Flames fans had better hope their "Calgary Canucks" have better luck at the NHL level than the junior team has had as of late.
They are coached and managed by another former Vancouver Canucks player, Brad Moran who played three games for the Canucks in 2006-07.
