Lafferty, 29, was traded to the Vancouver Canucks by the Toronto Maple Leafs ahead of the 2023-24 season and had the best year of his National Hockey League career with the British Columbia club.
In 79 games, Lafferty had 24 points (13 goals, 11 assists), 32 penalty minutes and was a plus-four. He went on to appear in 11 games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but failed to register any points and had two penalty minutes.
