Another university free agent for the Abby Canucks:
Abbotsford Canucks General Manager Ryan Johnson announced today that the club has signed forward Bennett Schimek to a one-year AHL contract through the 2026-27 season.
Schimek will also join Abbotsford for the remainder of the 2025-26 AHL season, competing on a professional try-out agreement.

Like how the Canucks are managing this. An AHL PTO for the balance of the year then a one year AHL contract. Doesn't take up a contract with the big club and gets bodies into Abbotsford. Nice that they have been able to do it twice now. If either player seems to look good then the Canucks can get them under contract after that. Also gives them a year with Manny who will eventually be the Canucks coach.
