The Vancouver Canucks have signed forward Sam Gagner and defenseman Michael Del Zotto to three-year contracts, the team announced Saturday.
Gagner's deal carries an average annual value of $3.15 million, while Del Zotto's contract has an AAV of $3 million.
Gagner, 27, signed a one-year "show-me" contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets for $650,000 last offseason, and he sure did show them. His 18 goals and 32 assists made him one of the top bargains in all of hockey.
"Sam is a hardworking, right shot [center] with good speed and skill," Canucks general manager Jim Benning said in a statement.
