“Erik is a big, strong physical defender who I know feels has a lot to prove and has worked diligently in his injury rehab,” Canucks general manager Jim Benning said in a statement. “He has leadership qualities that will be important for our young team and we are excited to see him healthy and back on the blue line next season.”

The third overall pick by the Panthers at the 2010 NHL draft, Gudbranson has 12 goals and 37 assists to go along with 364 penalty minutes in 339 games over six seasons with Vancouver and Florida.
