Confirmed with Link: W Sammy Blais signed to AHL Contract(Abbotsford) / PTO with Vancouver

[VanJack]

So if the Canucks release him from his PTO, then Blais reports directly to Abbotsford without going on waivers? But I suppose he could shop his services to other NHL teams before he reports to the AHL.

He might be decent injury insurance to have stashed in Abbotsford.

He would report straight to the AHL - but any NHL team can sign him to a contract at any time.

Like his size, we need to play a heavier game. Good depth player, hope he’s our 13th/14th forward.

Currently…
Canucks are 14th in height (73.3)
Canucks are 14th in weight (199.4)

Not surprising at all and was always a long shot , I’m really starting to think Aatu Raty is making this team as the 3rd Line Center
