LATEST | Rick Tocchet just delivered an interesting hint at who may be the Canucks' next call-up

Bains, who was the Abbotsford Canucks' representative for the 2024 AHL All-Star Game in San Jose, has had a great season thus far in the minors.

The Surrey native is currently in his second season with the Abbotsford Canucks and has already surpassed his career-high in points, by putting up 39 in 42 games during the 2023-24 campaign.

When meeting with the media on Thursday, Vancouver Canucks Head Coach Rick Tocchet told reporters that Bains is deserving of a chance to come up and skate with the team in the future.

The 23-year-old is nearly a point-per-game player in the American Hockey League and certainly should be considered for a call-up if an injury issue arises in Vancouver over the final couple of months of the 2023-24 regular season.
