Vancouver Canucks co-president Henrik Sedin said Thursday he does not expect to trade veterans for draft picks in bulk, even after the worst 20-game start in franchise history. He said the Canucks’ young players still need experienced teammates around them.

Henrik and Daniel Sedin took over hockey operations in May and are overseeing a rebuild with first-year coach Manny Malhotra. The brothers backed Malhotra and his staff Thursday, pointing to the work they have done between games to improve a team that has lost six straight in regulation.

Vancouver entered Friday’s home game against the New York Rangers last in the league at 4.50 goals allowed per game. Its only win in the previous 17 came in overtime at Anaheim.
