Canucks land free agent forward Daniel Sprong on one-year deal
Daniel Sprong will be joining the Vancouver Canucks on a one-year deal worth $975,00, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reports.
The Canucks will be Sprong’s sixth franchise in his 344-game NHL career. The Dutchman has tallied a combined 85 goals and 159 points alongside the Pittsburgh Penguins, Anaheim Ducks, Detroit Red Wings, Washington Capitals and Seattle Kraken.
Sprong enters the 2024-25 season coming off consecutive career-high seasons with Seattle and Detroit respectively. The 27-year-old sniper has netted 21 goals while averaging just over 11 minutes a night during the 2022-23 season, posting a career-high that landed him a one-year, $2 million deal with Detroit last season.
Sprong was selected in the second round of the NHL Draft in 2015 and became the fourth-ever Deutch player to lace up the skates in hockey’s top league.
