Quillan and Brandon Buhr were traded to the Canucks from the Maple Leafs on Thursday in exchange for Aatu Raty.
Quillan gets a significant bump in opportunity, as it may not take much for him to find his way to the Canucks' NHL roster. The 24-year-old has 24 games of NHL experience to his game, earning three points and 47 hits in those contests. That said, his playing style would likely be best suited to the bottom six in the long run.
