VANCOUVER – Finnish forward Markus Granlund will return to the Vancouver Canucks next season after signing a one-year deal with the club on Friday.
The contract is worth US$1.475 million.
"Markus is a versatile forward with the ability to play in all situations," Canucks general manager Jim Benning said in a statement. "He plays a complete, two-way game and has shown he can produce offensively."
The 25-year-old Granlund had 12 points in 53 games for the Canucks this past season.
The Canucks acquired Granlund from the Calgary Flames in a February 2016 trade.
After being picked in the second round (45th overall) by Calgary in the 2011 draft, Granlund broke into the NHL with the Flames in 2013-14.
