The Vancouver Canucks are adding some depth to their blue line.
The Canucks have signed defenceman Cole Clayton to a one-year, two-way contract, the team announced Tuesday.
The financial terms of the deal were not initially announced.
Clayton, 26, spent the 2025-26 season with the Abbotsford Canucks in the AHL, tallying six assists in 32 games with Vancouver's affiliate.
Since being signed by the Cleveland Monsters — the Columbus Blue Jackets' AHL affiliate — for the 2021-22 season, the Strathmore, Alta., native has tallied 72 points (14 goals, 58 assists) across five seasons split between the Canucks, Monsters and San Jose Barracuda.
