After making a handful of moves on the blueline, the Canucks organization has signed Christian Felton to a one-year contract.
After the Vancouver Canucks have made a number of moves impacting their blueline, their AHL affiliate, the Abbotsford Canucks, have signed defenceman Christian Felton to a one-year deal that will keep him with the team through the rest of the 2025–26 season.
Felton first joined the Canucks organization during the 2024–25 season, skating in 13 games for Abbotsford while also spending seven in the ECHL with the Kalamazoo Wings. This season, he has played primarily with the Utah Grizzlies of the ECHL, scoring three goals and six assists in 30 games, while also logging six games with Abbotsford and three with the Cincinnati Cyclones.
Felton’s signing comes after the Canucks organization made two moves that will impact their defensive depth moving forward. The first to occur was the trade that sent Tyler Myers to the Dallas Stars. Earlier today, Vancouver also traded Jett Woo to the San Jose Sharks for defenceman Jack Thompson. With defenceman Pierre-Olivier Joseph on injured reserve and Cole Clayton called-up as a result, the Canucks organization will need to cushion their depth a little more on defence.
Vancouver’s next game takes place tomorrow, after the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline, when they face the Chicago Blackhawks at 5:30 pm PT. As for Abbotsford, they’ll start a six-game home stand tomorrow with a game against the Colorado Eagles scheduled for 7:00 pm PT.
