According to the Team 1040 radio in Vancouver, brothers Scott and Rob Niedermayer would be interested in playing for the Vancouver Canucks. Their agent, Kevin Epps, confirmed that the pair would consider Vancouver as a "definitely possible" destination for them this summer, as they are both due to become unrestricted free agents this summer. Before signing with the Anaheim Ducks, the Niedermayer brothers considered signing with the Canucks. Brochu's take: This would be a very interesting scenario this summer, as the top target for the Canucks is a puck-moving defenseman. There's a possibility that they might take a hometown discount to play together, but the Niedermayers have indicated that is not a necessity. Source
