Report: Canucks looking to trade Baertschi

The Vancouver Canucks are seeking a trade partner for forward Sven Baertschi, reports TSN's Rick Dhaliwal.

The 27-year-old has only made six appearances for the Canucks this season, recording two assists. He's spent the majority of his campaign with the AHL's Utica Comets, posting 22 points in 15 games.

"I am not happy with the way this season has gone for Sven," Baertschi's agent, Andre Rufener, said, per Dhaliwal. "He played well when he was in the NHL. In my opinion, he did not get the opportunity he needed.

Rufener added: "We would like to get traded, I am in contact with (GM) Jim Benning, he knows that."

Baertschi was limited to 26 games with the Canucks last season due to injuries, tallying nine goals and 14 points.

The Calgary Flames drafted him 13th overall in 2011.
