"Nils is a smart hockey player who plays with speed and has a strong work ethic," said Allvin. "He possesses a good two-way game, and we look forward to seeing his continued development on both sides of the ice with the Canucks organization." Aman, 22, accumulated 14 points (6-8-14), eight penalty minutes and a +4 plus/minus rating in 51 games with Leksands IF of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) last season. In 110 career SHL games, all played with Leksands IF, Aman recorded 27 points (9-18-27) and 18 penalty minutes while adding a point (1-0-1) in 4 career playoff games. The Avesta, Sweden native has represented his country on the international stage on multiple occasions, totaling 11 points (2-9-11) and six penalty minutes in 22 games. Most recently, he was selected to represent Sweden at the 2022 IIHF World Championship. The 6'2", 185-pound forward was originally drafted by the Colorado Avalanche in the sixth round, 167th overall in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/canucks-agree-to-terms-on-entry-level-contract-with-nils-aman/c-334530230 5 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Given his age and level of play, he's likely a piece for Abbotsford. Still might be good to have more depth for the farm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solinar Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Free prospect, and more depth/talent for Abbotsford. If he comes in and shines under the new player development system, you cheer. If he comes in and falls flat, didn't cost us anything but money for the privilege. Right age range, and could probably show more than he has, given the right support. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we shall see. If he makes the team after 2 years in Abby that would be a win. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
