The Flyers are taking a chance on this former Canucks prospect.
The Philadelphia Flyers have added a new young forward to their system.
The Flyers have signed forward Danila Klimovich to a one-year contract, as confirmed by NHL agent Dan Milstein.
Klimovich became an unrestricted free agent (UFA) on July 1 after the Vancouver Canucks did not tender him a qualifying offer. Now, the 23-year-old forward will be working on his development as a member of the Flyers organization.
Klimovich has yet to play at the NHL level and spent each of the last five seasons in the AHL with the Abbotsford Canucks. In 281 career AHL games over that span, the 6-foot-2 forward posted 70 goals, 53 assists, 123 points, and 227 penalty minutes.
Overall, with this move, the Flyers are adding a young forward to their depth. It will be interesting to see if he can make the jump to the NHL level next season with Philadelphia.
