A former Vancouver Canucks defenseman has found a new home and has put pen-to-paper on an NHL contract with roughly a month to go before training camp begins.
The offseason has provided unrestricted free agents an opportunity to look for a new challenge heading into the 2025-26 season and while we’ve seen a number of former Vancouver Canucks head overseas, some have decided to remain in North America to continue to chase their dream of winning a Stanley Cup.
As the summer rolls along, another former Vancouver Canuck, who spent parts of two seasons with the club, has found his new home in the National Hockey League for the upcoming season.
Former Vancouver Canucks defenseman signs with Original Six franchise
In a social media post on Friday, the Detroit Red Wings announced that they’ve agreed to terms on a one-year contract worth $1 million USD with unrestricted free agent defenseman & former Vancouver Canuck, Travis Hamonic.
“UPDATE: The #RedWings have signed defenseman Travis Hamonic to a one-year contract with an AAV of $1,000,000.” the club said on X.
If that’s the case, then Hamonic could be looking at a seventh or even eighth defenseman role with the Red Wings and may not feature in their lineup every game, which could prove to be frustrating for the 15-year NHL veteran.
