Canucks Player Autopsy: Jannik Hansen

Hansen is a defensive machine. He is primarily used 5 on 5 and on the PK. He is very rarely used on the power play.

Who Is He?

Jannik Hansen. AKA: Beaker....The Great Dane....The Honey Badger

6'1", 195 pounds

Right Wing

Born in Rodovre, Denmark

A 7th round pick by the Canucks in 2004. Seriously. But who picked Danish players back then anyway? We did! And we didn't stop there! Paging Dr. Jensen....

Salary: Hansen just played the first year of a 4-year deal that pays him $2.5 million per season on average.
