VANCOUVER – The Vancouver Canucks have shored up their future depth, signing centre Max Sasson to a two-year extension with an average annual value of US$1 million.
General manager Patrik Allvin announced the move Monday, saying in a statement that the 25-year-old forward has made the most of the opportunities presented to him and provided solid play for the Canucks.
Sasson has played in 29 games for Vancouver this season, hitting career highs in goals (six), points (eight) and average ice time (11:02).
He contributed three goals and four assists over 29 games with the NHL team last season.
Sasson has also logged 106 regular-season games for the American Hockey League’s Abbotsford Canucks, notching 78 points and he helped the team to a Calder Cup title last spring.
The six-foot-one, 181-pound athlete from Birmingham, Mich., originally signed with Vancouver as an undrafted free agent in March 2023.
