The Vancouver Canucks signed defenseman Erik Gudbranson to a three-year, $12-million contract extension Tuesday, the team announced.
Gudbranson was recently mentioned in trade rumors, but re-signed with Vancouver through the 2020-21 season at an annual average cap hit of $4 million.
As a 2010 third overall draft pick of the Florida Panthers, Gudbranson has never lived up to the hype associated with being that high of a selection, topping out at 13 points with Florida during the 2014-15 campaign.
Across 41 games this season, Gudbranson has two goals and two assists in just under 18 minutes of ice time per night.
