Canucks Re-Sign Nolan Baumgartner

The Vancouver Canucks have announced that they have re-signed defenseman Nolan Baumgartner to a one-year, two-way contract. The deal will pay him $525,000 if he plays at the NHL level. In 66 games last season with Manitoba of the AHL, he had four goals and 25 assists for 29 points. He last saw NHL action during the 2009-10 season with Vancouver. This is really just a depth signing for the Canucks, as Baumgartner will likely spend the majority of next season in the minors. If he sees any time with the Canucks, it will likely be in the event of an injury to one of the regular roster players.
