Canucks sign forward Max Sasson to two-year extension

Max Sasson is sticking around with the Vancouver Canucks.

The Canucks announced Monday that they have signed the forward to a two-year contract extension that carries a $1-million average annual value.

Sasson, 25, has six goals and two assists in 29 games for Vancouver this season.

“Max has made the most of the opportunity presented to him this season and has provided us with some solid play,” said general manager Patrik Allvin in a team release. “Since signing with the organization out of college, he has shown significant improvement, using his speed and skill to build a strong foundation for his future. Max was a key contributor to our championship run last year in Abbotsford, and we’re excited to watch him continue to grow as a player.”

The left-shot forward has also spent time in the AHL this season, potting a pair of goals with the reigning Calder Cup-champion, Abbotsford.

In 2024-25, Sasson made his NHL debut with Vancouver, appearing in 29 games. He scored three goals and registered a positive rating in his first taste of action with the big club.

He was also a key member of Abbotsford’s championship season, scoring 13 goals in 41 regular-season games before finding the back of the net five times in the post-season.

Sasson originally signed with Vancouver as an undrafted free agent in March 2023.
