After the Troy Stecher signing from last week, there was just one impending RFA to sign a contract with the Vancouver Canucks.
That was the pride of Abbotsford, Jake Virtanen, who re-upped with the Canucks on a two-year, $2.5 million deal. He’s slated to make $1.25 million next season.
The deal will make Virtanen the tenth-highest paid forward on the roster, just behind Markus Granlund and ahead of Brock Boeser, who is still on his entry-level deal.
With Virtanen now signed, the #Canucks have 14 forwards, 8 D and 2 goalies under contract for next season.
