Vancouver Canucks President & General Manager Mike Gillis announced that the Canucks have acquired defencemen Christian Ehrhoff and Brad Lukowich from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for defenceman Daniel Rahimi and forward Patrick White.
"We are pleased to be adding Christian and Brad to our defensive
group," said Mike Gillis. "Defence has been an area we wanted to add
skill and depth to and this trade has strengthened our group
considerably. We would like to thank both Daniel and Patrick for their
commitment and efforts with our organization and we wish them both well
in their careers."
Ehrhoff, 27, recorded eight goals, 34 assists (8-34-42) and 63 penalty
minutes in 77 games with the Sharks last season. Ehrhoff made his NHL
debut in 2003-04 and has played 341 career regular season games, all

minutes. In 38 NHL Playoff games he has added 15 points (2-13-15) and
40 penalty minutes. The 6-foot-2, 205 lbs. native of Moers, Germany,
was drafted by San Jose in the 4th round, 106th overall in 2001.
Lukowich, 33, played 58 games with the Sharks last season recording
eight points, 12 penalty minutes and a plus/minus of +5. The Cranbrook,
BC, native has played for five NHL teams over 11 seasons with Dallas,
Tampa Bay, NY Islanders, New Jersey and San Jose. The 6-foot-1, 201
lbs. defenceman has played 640 regular season games, recording 111
points (22-89-111), 365 penalty minutes and is a career +38. He was
originally drafted in the 4th round, 90th overall by the New York Islanders in 1994.
