-Vintage Canuck- Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Quote Vancouver, BC - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has signed defenceman Philip Holm to a one-year, entry-level contract. The 6'1", 190-pound defenceman most recently represented Sweden on the international stage at the 2017 World Championship, helping to earn gold for his home country. "Philip is a mobile, two-way defenceman who adds depth to our blueline," said Benning. "He made strides in his development last season with Vaxjo and played a strong series with Sweden at the World Championships. We're pleased to welcome him to the Canucks organization." Holm, 25, spent the 2016-17 with the Vaxjo Lakers of the Swedish Hockey League where he posted 21 points (4-17-21) and 30 penalty minutes in 52 games. He was a plus-24 on the season and earned the honours for the 2016-17 best plus/minus in the SHL. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/canucks-sign-philip-holm/c-289627122 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Nice adding depth to our defense. Will he become another |Tom Nilsson or will he be a different story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigturk8 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Good numbers in his most recent year. Hopefully it's not an aberration. It'll be interesting to see how he does in training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aladeen Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Probably a dumb question here but I really don't know so I'm going to ask it... Does Holm now need to be protected from expansion draft or is he exempt because the contract is for next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimberWolf Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Well, wouldn't have put money on it but weirder things have happened. Maybe feels a better chance here because of less depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but I think he needs 2 years of professional experience in NA and a certain amount of games played in those two years to be eligible.
