The Vancouver Canucks' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate have officially announced on Thursday that they have agreed to terms on contract extensions with three key members of the 2024-25 Calder Cup Championship team.
The Abbotsford Canucks 2024-25 season was one nothing similar to the Vancouver Canucks.
A historic season to remember, rookie head coach and former Vancouver Canucks forward Manny Malhotra took the AHL club all the way to win the 2024-25 Calder Cup.
With that said, they will try to repeat the same success with a very differnt looking roster as Vancouver made the controversial decision to trade top prospect goalie Arturs Silovs to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Subsequently, they also did not issue qualifying offers to Cole McWard, Christian Felton, Ty Glover and Tristen Nielsen, while numerous others will be vying for a full-time spot on the Canucks' NHL roster in October.

With how poorly the big club performed last season by not making the Stanley Cup Playoffs, these recent signings could mean big things as Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin is always desperate for more young talent to break through the surface and make an impact in the NHL.
