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.

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.

There has been no concrete news on Booth's injury. Monitor his status later for a more accurate injury assessment.
