The Vancouver Canucks have re-signed breakout star Dakota Joshua.
It’s a four-year contract with an average annual value of $3.25 million. The winger had a breakout season last year with 18 goals and 32 points in just 63 games.

“Dakota had a strong season for us and took some big steps forward in his game,” said general manager Patrik Allvin in a press release. “We really like his size, his speed and physicality. He fit in well with our system and the way we want to play hockey and I look forward to watching him to continue to develop under our coaching staff.”
Joshua was expected to be one of the most coveted free agents on July 1. This contract ensures that he will not hit the open market.
The Canucks now have every player from their excellent third line last season under contract for another year including Joshua, Teddy Blueger, and Conor Garland.
