Canucks Make Next Move After Big Quinn Hughes Blockbuster
Max Sasson, 25, earned a two-year one-way contract extension worth $1 million annually after setting career highs and becoming a key contributor amid Canucks' roster changes.
- On Monday, the Vancouver Canucks signed Max Sasson, 25-year-old centre, to a two-year contract extension worth $1 million per season.
- After signing with Vancouver in 2023 as an undrafted free agent, Sasson was recalled after two games with Abbotsford Canucks and contributed to their championship last year.
- In 29 NHL games this season Sasson set new career highs with six goals and eight points and is tied for six on the team in goals.
- Last week, after trading superstar defenseman Quinn Hughes to the Minnesota Wild for Zeev Buium, Marco Rossi, Liam Ohgren and a 2026 first-round pick, the Canucks committed to a new chapter by retaining Sasson with an extension.
- Facing imminent free agency on July 1, Sasson was in the final year of a league-minimum $775,000 salary and signing him preserves roster depth and control.
