The Vancouver Canucks announced they have signed Vasily Podkolzin to a two-year extension worth $2 million.
"We are happy with how hard Vasily has worked on his game to try and become a more consistent player," Canucks GM Patrik Allvin said in a statement. "While there is still room for him to grow, starting the year in Abbotsford and working his way back up to Vancouver shows the type of commitment and dedication we want in all our players. Our group looks to forward to helping Vasily continue to improve and get better."
Podkolzin has played 18 games in the NHL this season and has two assists. He's been playing on the fourth line as the team heads into the postseason.
His work ethic has been extremely high at the AHL and NHL levels. His head coach, Rick Tocchet, even compared him to Jaromir Jagr.
Podkolzin will play a key depth role for the Canucks 2024 Stanley Cup Playoff run.
