Vancouver has re-signed Teddy Blueger to a two-year, $3.6 million contract extension ($1,800,000 AAV).

Blueger appeared in 68 games for the Canucks in 2023-24, tying his career-best with 28 points (6G / 22A). He found chemistry on the third line with Conor Garland and Dakota Joshua, so expect him to fill a similar bottom-6 role and an important penalty killer next season.
