The Canucks are welcoming defenceman Luke Schenn back to Vancouver.

Luke Schenn will be a member of the Vancouver Canucks for the third time in his NHL career. 

Vancouver announced earlier today that Schenn has signed a one-year deal worth $2.25M, bringing him back to the Canucks for the third time in his career and second time via free-agency. 

The defenceman first joined the Canucks organization by trade in the 2018-19 season, playing in a total of eight games before he eventually parted ways with Vancouver via free agency later in the off-season. He went on to win two Stanley Cups with the Tampa Bay Lightning before returning to the Canucks for the second time. 

Schenn's return to Vancouver came about via free agency, as the defenceman signed a two-year deal worth $875,000 per year. After putting together eight goals and 30 assists in 121 games with Vancouver through 2021 to 2023, Schenn was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs near the 2023 NHL Trade Deadline. 

Since his last stint with the Canucks, Schenn has played for Toronto, the Nashville Predators, Winnipeg Jets, and Buffalo Sabres. As of late, he has operated within a depth-defender role.
