David Booth may be candidate for a buyout this off-season.
He has been hampered by injuries since joining the Vancouver Canucks from Florida and carries a $4.25 million cap hit for the next two seasons. Vancouver GM Mike Gillis said there will be changes after the team's troubling end to the 2013 campaign. It wouldn't be surprising if Booth and/or Keith Ballard may be removed from the team's roster.

Date:

David Booth will miss the rest of the regular season following surgery on his injured ankle.

He may return during the playoffs but that will probably depend how far the Canucks can advance and if his recover goes well. Booth has been limited to 12 games this season, where he generated only one goal and three points.
Mar 22 - 2:51 PM

David Booth (ankle) has been placed on injured reserve.

Booth had an MRI Monday but the results were not revealed. He is out indefinitely and can be released in pools as he only had three points in 12 games before the ankle injury.
Mar 19 - 11:28 AM

David Booth still needs to undergo an MRI on his leg.

Booth was seen leaving Saturday's game in crutches after sustaining the injury in the first period of Vancouver's 5-2 loss to Detroit. Consider him out indefinitely until further details are revealed.

David Booth is out of action after suffering an ankle injury.

Booth suffered the injury in the first period Saturday and was seen leaving the arena on crutches. He will have an MRI on Monday but coach Alain Vigneault does not think it looked good and expected him to be out 'a while'. Booth only had a goal and three points in 12 games this season so you really should not have had him in your lineup.

David Booth registered his second assist of the season.

Booth is still searching for his first goal after playing in nine games. He's only averaging 13:24 minutes per game and almost none of that ice time is with the man advantage. That's a big part of the reason we can't recommend him in standard leagues.
Mar 11 - 10:11 AM

Despite having not scored a goal yet this season, Canucks coach Alain Vigneault is satisfied with the play of David Booth.

Booth has suited up in eight games since returning from injury in February and has yet to find the back of the net despite firing 20 shots on goals. Coach Vigneault identified both he and the struggling Zack Kassian as players who have suffered through bad luck of late, saying "I’m looking at Zack’s game right now, and David Booth’s, and they’re doing everything they can possibly do to help us on the score sheet. They’re not getting any breaks right now. So, what we have to do as a group, as a coaching staff, is stay supportive." Once Booth breaks his drought we like his chances of beginning a hot streak.

David Booth returned from an illness on Tuesday.

Booth was sidelined for Sunday's contest. He had two shots on goal in 12:56 minutes of playing time.

David Booth (illness) appears set to make his return to the lineup Tuesday night against the Phoenix Coyotes.

Booth has played in only three games this season due to illness and a groin injury. He's expected to take Aaron Volpatti's place in the lineup. His lack of playing time thus far and limited point value makes him a frustrating player to own, but hopefully he'll be able to stay in the lineup for longer than a week this time around.

David Booth (illness) skated on Monday.

Booth could return as early as Tuesday to the lineup but will likely be a game time decision. He has only played in three games this season as he suffered a groin injury on the opening day of training camp.
Feb 26 - 11:42 AM

Vancouver Canucks winger David Booth will miss yet another game, but the good news is that it's because he's sick, not injured.

He's barely seen action this season and he's already missing more. That's very frustrating for those who went out on a limb to draft him, but at least he just has some sort of sickness.
Feb 24 - 4:51 PM

David Booth spent practice on Wednesday on the third line with Mason Raymond and Jordan Schoeder.

Booth played his first game of the season on Tuesday on the fourth line and it was thought he would move up the depth chart. Look for him to eventually get second line minutes for the Canucks. He is worth a shot in deeper leagues, especially if he sees power play time.

Vancouver head coach Alain Vigneault says he saw nothing wrong with Jannik Hansen's hit to the head of Chicago's Marion Hossa, suggesting the officials got bullied into a penalty by Chicago captain Jonathan Toews.

Unfortunately for the Hawks, Hossa’s game was stopped 70 seconds into the third when Hansen seemed to inadvertently hit him from behind on a play that started with the Dane and Hossa going for the puck. It was chilling to see Hossa lying on the ice in the aftermath, motionless with an apparent head injury. Instantly you think back to what ended his playoffs last season when a cheap, vicious Raffi Torres head shot forced Hossa out of the game on a stretcher. The NHL will hold a hearing with Hanssen today. "It wasn’t even a penalty," Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault said. "Both the referees looked at the play, and until (Chicago captain Jonathan) Toews went out to talk to them it wasn’t a penalty." What about supplementary discipline for Hansen? "Not a chance," Vigneault said. "He was trying to grab a puck in the air." Canucks forward David Booth said: "For my perspective, there was zero intent to injure there."
Feb 20 - 12:57 PM

David Booth (groin) will make his return to the lineup Tuesday night and skate on the fourth line.

Booth has been sidelined since the first day of training camp. He'll start tonight's game on the fourth line, but it probably won't be long before he moves up to play on more of a scoring line.
Feb 19 - 2:16 PM

David Booth (groin) has been medically cleared to play.

Booth has been out of action since the first day of training camp. It is possible that he could be reinstated in time for tonight's game against Chicago and if he is, he will see fourth line duty. "I know if I need him to play, I can use him," Coach Alain Vigneault said. "We'll make that call Tuesday. He's practiced enough and if it's his call, he would want to be in." Stay tuned.
