Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin said the six-foot, 195-pound winger adds depth to Vancouver’s lineup.

“Bringing in another solid winger will be a boost for our club this season,” Allvin said in a statement. “Daniel has matured a lot as a player and has shown he can contribute offensively when called upon. His addition up front will give us better depth and should help with more balanced scoring throughout our forward group.”
