Canucks General Manager Jim Benning made a minor trade on Thursday evening in an effort to improve depth on the blue line by acquiring 22-year-old defenceman Adam Clendening from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for Swedish defensive prospect Gustav Forsling. Cheap MLB Jerseys . Clendening, a 511 190-pound native of Niagara Falls, New York is a former 2011 second-round selection of the Blackhawks. He has played the majority of the 2014-15 season with the AHLs Rockford Ice Hogs where hes managed 13 points (1-12-13) in 38 games. In four games with the Blackhawks this season hes recorded two points (1-1-2). The Canucks part ways with Forsling who was a fifth-round selection in the 2014 draft. The 18-year-old who plays in the Swedish Elite League impressed many with a good showing for Team Sweden at the World Junior Hockey Championship over the holidays. The Canucks feel they needed to strengthen their NHL-ready depth on defence with the recent loss of veteran Kevin Bieksa for six-to-eight weeks after he required surgery on his broken left hand.

Now comes an off-season of questions about manager Matt Williams decisions and a handful of key roster choices, including what to do about Ryan Zimmerman, whether to sign Jordan Zimmermann and Ian Desmond to long-term deals, and how to upgrade an offence that fell flat in October. http://www.cheaprockiesjerseys.com/ .Y. -- AJ Allmendingers journey is almost complete.ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- At least three ownership groups, including Buffalo Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula, submitted formal bids to buy the Buffalo Bills on Monday. A prospective candidate could be identified by the end of the week. Four people familiar with discussions revealed that information to The Associated Press. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because the sale is being conducted privately. The other groups submitting bids were led by New York City real estate mogul Donald Trump, and a Toronto group led by rocker Jon Bon Jovi. The bids were submitted to Morgan Stanley, the banking firm overseeing the sale process on behalf of late owner Ralph Wilsons estate. Three of the people said the estate issued purchase agreements to at least four groups, and potentially five. The other groups identities are not known, and its unclear if they submitted bids. The purchase agreements are formal documents that are negotiated separately by each of the parties and Proskauer Rose, the legal firm representing the estate. The agreements are binding documents that outline the terms and conditions of the sale. Once those agreements were completed over the past week, the only outstanding question left was for each group to determine its bid price. The franchise was last valued by Forbes to be worth $935 million. But the sale price is expected to exceed $1 billion because NFL franchises rarely go on the block. The Bills are on the market after Wilson, the Hall of Fame inductee and franchise founder, died in March. The Cleveland Browns were sold for close to $1.05 billion two years ago. The Miami Dolphins sold for an NFL-record $1.1 billion in 2009, but their deal also included their stadium. The timing of thee sale process remains on track for the team to have a new owner before the end of the year -- and potentially by next month. Cheap Rockies Jerseys Authentic. Once identified, the prospective owner would be presented to members of the NFL Finance Committee, which is scheduled to meet next week. The candidate must also go through an extensive background check conducted by an NFL-contracted security firm. The final step would be approval from three-quarters of the leagues 31 other owners, which could come at league meetings next month. After that, NFL owners are next scheduled to meet in December. The Pegulas remain the front runners. They have a net worth of more than $3.5 billion, and have the support of local business leaders and public officials because of their commitment to keep the Bills in western New York. U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer has stayed closely involved with the sale process to ensure the Bills stay in New York. Last week, Schumer expressed his support of Pegula in conversations with at least 10 NFL owners. During a stop in Buffalo on Monday, Schumer said he had conversations regarding the sale process with both Terry Pegula and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell earlier in the day. "We talked about the lay of the land. Im not going to get into details," Schumer said. "But I believe that (Pegula) is enthusiastic about owning and keeping the Bills in Buffalo for generations." Under the lease agreement reached in December 2012 with New York State and Erie County, the Bills are essentially locked in to playing at Ralph Wilson Stadium through the end of the 2019 season. There is a one-time out clause that would allow the team to break the agreement for just under $28.4 million in 2020.
