Dman Chad Billins (played with #Flames in 2013-14) returns from Europe and signs 1-year, 2-way deal with #Canucks
— The Mayor John Hoven (@mayorNHL) July 1, 2016 Billins was drafted in the second round (#24 overaell) by the Waterloo Black Hawks in the 2007 USHL Entry Draft. Undrafted at the NHL level, Billins signed an AHL contract with the Grand Rapids Griffins for the 2012-13 season and parlayed that strong performance into a two-way deal with the Calgary Flames in 2013-14. After failing to stick it through with the Flames he went off to the KHL and SEL before today's signing.
