In recent Vancouver Canucks news, it has been announced that they have signed free agent forward Pius Suter to a two-year contract valued at $3.2 million. This contract will result in a $1.6 million yearly salary cap hit for the Canucks.
Was this a huge overpay for Suter or is he worth every penny? I will let you decide in the comments below.
Suter, 27, went undrafted and started his NHL career with the Chicago Blackhawks. He has played in 216 games over the course of 3 seasons, accumulating a total of 87 points. However, he has yet to appear in a playoff game.
Suter’s new contract does not feature a full no-trade clause or signing bonus.
