Vancouver, B.C. – Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has signed forward Michael Carcone to a three-year entry level contract.

Carcone, 20, appeared in 66 games for the Drummondville Voltigeurs of the QMJHL in 2015.16, where he ranked tied for the team lead in points (89) and finished first in goals (47) and second in assists (42). His goal total on the year ranked tied for second among all QMJHL skaters while his 16 power play goals ranked third in the League. The 5-10, 170-pound forward has appeared in 116 regular season games over two seasons for Drummondville, registering 130 points (59-71-130) and 112 penalty minutes.

Prior to joining the Voltigeurs, the Ajax, Ontario native spent the 2013.14 season with the OJHL Stouffville Spirit, where he led the club in scoring during the regular season notching 37 points (12-25-37) in 49 games.

Can't go wrong with a free prospect. His numbers are intriguing doesn't matter that he plays in the Q. He apparently started playing minors late and was passed over in the CHL drafts. Signed with his Q team and lit it up. Late bloomer. 

 

Just like Dane Fox a few years back, he'll probably start in the ECHL.

You know its a hockey market when there is a media scrum to announce this signing....Is that Murph in the top right holding that boom mic? lol

I'm assuming that's a stock photo, hence why you can't actually identify the player easily.

It's good that the signing has finally been confirmed. I believe the speculation thread is going on a week old. Does he crack the Utica roster or does he go back for an overage year?

 

He was at our development camp, so maybe Green saw something he liked. Free prospect, always good..

The only limitation is the 50 contracts per team. He takes one spot that someone else can't have later.
