Confirmed with Link: Canucks sign RD Christian Felton to One-Year ELC

[VanJack]

Are there any Felton 'highlights' out there on YouTube? Can't really recall the guy at last fall's Development Camp at all. But I guess he did enough to impress the Canucks.

He's apparently been hurt since January, but did have more than a few NHL teams interested in him. And a one-year ELC hardly seems like much of a 'risk' for the Canucks.

So, what do the Canucks have in Christian Felton?

I keep reminding myself that he's 24 years old. He'll need to make the big club soon if he's going to make it at all, but even if he shows promise, there's no room for him at the moment.

He's looked pretty good so far but I'm not getting fooled again like I was with Hirose. I'm keeping my expectations low for now

That was the first time in his life he's ever seen NHL skaters (or anything close to NHL skaters) and it looked like it was easy for him.

You don't want to overreact on one game (lesson learned : Hirose) but if he can go to the AHL and do that consistently he's going to play NHL games for this team. Maybe this year.
