The Vancouver Canucks have signed defenseman Jordie Benn to a two-year, $4-million deal, the team announced Monday.
Benn, 31, is a native of Victoria, British Columbia and played most of his junior career with the BCHL's Victoria Grizzlies.
He spent last season with the Montreal Canadiens and registered 22 points in 81 games. The veteran will bring grit to the Cancuks' blue line, but he was also a positive possession player last season, posting a 53.4 Corsi For percentage.
Benn's signing will mark the club's second addition on the back end after reportedly agreeing to a deal with Tyler Myers earlier Monday.
