The Vancouver Canucks announced today that defenceman Sami Salo has signed a four-year contract extension worth $14 million US.
“We are pleased to have agreed to a long-term extension with Sami today,” said Nonis in a release. “Sami is an elite defenceman who compliments our group very well. We are confident that he will continue to perform at the high level he has established for himself over the next four seasons.”
“His primary motivation was to stay in Vancouver and is secondary motivation was to win in Vancouver,” said Salo’s agent Bill Zito. “If he decided to become a free agent, there is no question he could have got millions more. There aren’t too many players who would do what he did.”

This is a great for the Canucks, he’s a very important part of the Canucks and we really struggled last year when he was out of the lineup down the stretch. We also have unconfirmed reports the Canucks have also re-signed defenceman Yannick Tremblay to a contract extension.
