Canucks to Retire Naslund's #

TSN reports that the Vancouver Canucks will be retiring the number of their former Captain and ex-Ranger Markus Naslund this season.

...the best thing Naslund did as a Ranger was retire before his contract was over so it came off the Rangers books.

I liked Markus. When he came to New York he scored 24 goals (only 1 less than he had the year before). He did what he was supposed to do, which is more than I can say for more than a few of our guys right now. At times he looked like a guy who might have been approaching the end of his career, but generally he did his job, and was pretty solid all around.
That said, it was pretty sweet that he cleared the cap space for us.
