Tocchet makes an exciting statement on the camp's surprise: Arshdeep Bains
Arshdeep Bains has been a stand-out at Canucks' camp so far. After five WHL seasons, he inked an NHL deal with the Canucks as an undrafted free-agent and now he's making the Canucks' scouts look like geniuses.
Bains had a tough start to his WHL career. Between his first two seasons, in 2017-18 and 2018-19, he scored just 25 points in 103 games. This left the 22-year-old undrafted in the 2019 draft. The B.C Native was a late bloomer and put up three solid WHL seasons following his draft year.
His last WHL season was so impressive that the Canucks signed him mid-way through. Bains scored 43 goals, adding 69 assists for 112 points. He was an offensive star, and the Canucks hoped he could become a player.
In 2022-23, Bains played in his professional season with the Abbotsford Canucks. Bains was able to make some excellent progression in his game. He now plays a great two-way game, an energy player who can go up and down the line-up. Bains recorded 38 points in 66 games and made an impression with the Abbotsford Canucks coaching staff.
Bains will have to fight every step of the way to get out of camp as a Canuck, but at this point, I wouldn't count him out, either. We will see what the Canucks have planned for Bains' development.
