Canucks sign Surrey’s Arshdeep Bains to an entry-level contract
Arshdeep Bains #20 of the Red Deer Rebels skates against the Kelowna Rockets at Prospera Place on February 15, 2020 in Kelowna, Canada.It’s one thing to be drafted by your hometown team.
It’s another entirely to be passed over in the draft, continue to grind, and then end up signing with your hometown team as a free agent.
That’s exactly what just happened to 21-year-old Arshdeep Bains, who just signed his entry-level deal with the Vancouver Canucks.
Bains is currently tied for the WHL lead in scoring, with 82 points in 55 games.
Last month, when he took over the league-lead in scoring, he became the first player of South Asian descent to do so.
