"It totally caught me off guard, and I wasn't expecting it at all," McCann told the Vancouver Sun after the deal that swapped him and two draft picks for defenseman Erik Gudbranson and a pick. "I'm still kind of flustered, I guess. [Canucks general manager Jim Benning] told me it's the business side of hockey and I understand that. I know they didn't want to let me go, but they're getting a good player in return. But it's obviously tough. This was the team that drafted me."
