Vancouver may trade for Antoine Vermette if they don't land Mats Sundin.

From the Vancouver Province, based on an Ottawa Sun story:

According to a report in the Ottawa Sun, the Canucks have kicked the tires on a deal for the 26-year-old restricted free agent who scored 53 points (24-29) in 81 games last season for Ottawa.
Vermette will go to salary arbitration at the end of July and the Senators are apparently concerned he may be awarded $2.5 to $3 million.
The other reason the Sens might be willing to part with the second-line scoring of Vermette is they are desperate to add some offence to their back end. GM Brian Murray tried to get free-agent offensive defenceman Brian Campbell, but he signed with Chicago.
Canucks defencemen Sami Salo and Kevin Bieksa have had their names thrown out as possibilities to be included in a potential deal.
