Lukas Kajieck and Juraj Simek out, Shane O’Brien and Michel Ouellet in.

Maybe not quite the blockbuster trade you’d think was coming from Canucks GM Mike Gillis, however the Tampa Bay Lightning and Vancouver Canucks have made a trade that see the teams swap a right winger and defenceman back and forth.

To the Tampa Bay Lightning, defenceman Lukas Krajicek and right winger Juraj Simek.  The Vancouver Canucks receive defenceman Shane O’Brien and right winger Michel Ouellet.  Both players are young and show alot of promise, especially Ouellet who, if given the right teammates, can turn into quite a player.
