Vancouver Canucks Announce the Signing of Four Pending Free Agents One Day Ahead of Free Agency

It's been a busy week for the Vancouver Canucks organization after trading for Evander Kane from the Edmonton Oilers and getting close to a contract extension for Thatcher Demko.

With less than 24 hours to go until the opening of the National Hockey League's free agency period, Vancouver Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin got some more business done, signing four pending free agents - three RFAs and one UFA.

In a series of posts on social media on Monday morning, the Vancouver Canucks announced that they've agreed to terms on contracts for Arshdeep Bains, Aatu Raty, Max Sasson and Guillaume Brisebois.

Arshdeep Bains' new contract with the Vancouver Canucks is for two years, and the club did not disclose financial details of the deal.

In 50 games for AHL Abbotsford this season, Bains registered 43 points (11 goals, 32 assists) and went on to add a whopping 24 points (seven goals, 17 assists) in 24 games during the Calder Cup Playoffs.

Finnish forward Aatu Raty, much like Arshdeep Bains, has agreed on a two-year contract with the Canucks worth $1.55 million US ($775,000 AAV).

Raty had another strong season in the American Hockey League with Abbotsford, putting up 40 points (17 goals, 23 assists) in 43 games and was limited to just six postseason contests due to injury.

At the age of 24, Max Sasson finally got his opportunity in the National Hockey League this season, registering seven points (three goals, four assists) in 29 games, along with 32 points in 41 AHL contests.

Because of this, the Vancouver Canucks have signed the Birmingham, Michigan native to a one-way contract worth a league minimum of $775,000 US.

The final name re-signed by the Vancouver Canucks on Monday was defenseman Guillaume Brisebois, who has landed a two-year deal with the club and like Bains' deal, financial details were not revealed.

Brisebois had 30 games of NHL experience under his belt and this season with Abbotsford, the 27-year-old had five points (two goals, three assists) in 48 games.

The Vancouver Canucks are expected to remain busy over the next couple of weeks as Patrik Allvin looks to add a second line centerman to his group and we'll likely also see some depth signings on Canada Day.
