Vancouver Canucks: Tim Schaller signing may be worthwhile
Vancouver Canucks general manager Jim Benning received criticism for signing Boston Bruins enforcer Tim Schaller, but the 27-year-old may actually be a quality player — at a good price.
The Vancouver Canucks had a rather unique approach in free agency, opting to sign veteran forwards Jay Beagle, Tim Schaller and Antoine Roussel to multi-year deals, even though none of them bring much to the table offensively.
Schaller — signed two a two-year deal worth $3.8 million — will be responsible for making the Canucks tougher to play against, as well as defending youngsters such as Brock Boeser and Elias Pettersson.
