hieu Schneider to a 1-Year, $1.55 million contract
The Canucks found the replacement for Mattias Ohlund that they were looking for.
After watching Ohlund sign with the Tampa Bay Lightning on July 1st, the Canucks felt a gaping hole in their defensive corps. Even at the age of 40, Schneider can still play the game. He only accumulated nine goals in 67 games last season splitting time between the Thrashers and Canadiens, Schneider is still a key for a successful power-play. 6 of his 9 goals last season came with the man advantage, while also amassing 12 power-play assists. The 20-season veteran will be a nice addition to an already impressive Canuck power-play unit.

tter believe that he will be looking for retribution against his former club.
Defenseman Mattias Ohlund will see his contract expire at the end of this playoff year, so it is obvious he will be playing hard for a good contract next season no matter where he lands. His fifth best plus/minus rating of a plus-14 seems like nothing to write home about, but when he is playing against the top lines every night, it becomes something to be admired.
