The Vancouver Canucks, who just parted ways with Quinn Hughes, have completed another transaction, announcing the signing of forward Max Sasson to a two-year contract extension with an average annual value of $1 million.

"We all play hockey, and we know it might happen. But I'm really happy for everything Minnesota has done for me," Rossi said.

The Vancouver Canucks continue their road trip on Tuesday evening as they hit Madison Square Garden for a matchup against the New York Rangers. Following a strong debut for the newcomers, the Canucks will look to follow it up with another strong performance against the Rangers on Tuesday.

If anything, he could be a welcome addition to the middle six. His eagerness to prove he belongs could put him in a similar spot as Nick Robertson, for instance.

From a value standpoint, the Canucks did a good job adding key pieces to their future. Buium and Öhgren are both under 22 years old, while Rossi is a former top-10 pick who just turned 24. As for the draft pick, it is projected to be a late first-round pick as the Minnesota Wild are now one of the favourites in the Western Conference.
