Canucks sign Podkolzin but not Keppen

Puck Pedia: The Vancouver Canucks have signed 2019 first-round pick Vasili Podkolzin to a three-year entry-level contract with a $925,000 salary cap hit and an AAV of $1.775 million.

Podkolzin will get $832,500 base salary, $92,500 signing bonus, $850,000 in “A” bonuses, and $70,000 in the minors.

Iain MacIntyre: “Given cap/talent issues, it will help immensely if Vasily Podkolzin can step into third line for Canucks next season. But don’t sleep on possibility of Will Lockwood earning a spot behind him. Looked good in late-season cameo and team needs speed and tenacity.”

Rick Dhaliwal: The Canucks won’t signing 2019 fourth-round pick Ethan Keppen before the June 1st deadline. He will no longer be their property.
