JPat: A word on Aatu Räty’s past, present, and future as Canucks place young centre on waivers
Former Vancouver Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin once tried to spin the return in the Bo Horvat deal as essentially three first-round picks in exchange for the club’s former captain.

Canucks place Aatu Räty on NHL waivers
The Vancouver Canucks have placed centre Aatu Räty on NHL waivers for Wednesday, October 14th.
