It's a good deal in isolation. A two-year deal for a 26 year old currently producing at just under a PPG. He is fun to watch as well. And it is a short commitment, so very little risk.

Theoretically, there would be a lot of potential buyers if the Canucks decided to rebuild or re-tool. With that extension, I think he is worth more as a trade asset than he was as a pending UFA. It would have been stupid not to sign him at that.

Doubtful they were going to rebuild anyway, so might as well sign the guy.
