Welsh traded to Canucks

by Ryan Fay

Former Union center Jeremy Welsh is on the move.

The Carolina Hurricanes traded Welsh and Zac Dalpe to the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday. Vancouver received Kellan Tochkin and a fourth round pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.

Welsh spent most of last season with the AHL's Charlotte Checkers, picking up 14 goals and 12 assists in 69 games. He collected an assist in a handful of games with Carolina.

Welsh had one goal in four preseason games with Carolina this season. 

The 25-year-old scored 100 points (53 goals, 47 assists) in 119 games with Union from 2009-2012. He surrendered his senior season when he signed with the Hurricanes in the hours following Union's Frozen Four semifinals loss to Ferris State on April 5, 2012.
