The Vancouver Canucks have signed a two-year deal with depth forward Teddy Blueger
The contract, announced by the team Wednesday, carries an average annual value of US$1.8 million.
The 29-year-old was set to become an unrestricted free agent, with the NHL91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s free agency period opening on Monday.

The six-foot, 185-pound forward from Riga, Latvia also spent part of six seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins, and has 41 goals and 85 assists in 336 NHL games.
