LATEST | Tocchet makes his plan known for the Canucks' latest addition

Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet has made his intentions clear on how the team will utilize their latest trade acquisition.

Defenceman Nikita Zadorov was acquired earlier this week from the Calgary Flames, and the hulking veteran will look to take his 6'6» frame alongside 6'8» defender Tyler Myers to create one of the NHL's most feared pairings.

Zadorov, 28, has 6 points on a goal and five assists through 21 games this season. The Canucks take on his former squad Saturday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
