Summary
Vancouver Canucks just handed defenseman Zeev Buium an eight-year, $75M contract — the biggest deal in franchise history — locking him down through the 2027-28 season at nearly $10M per year. At just 20, the young Swiss blueliner, acquired in a blockbuster trade for Quinn Hughes last December, is now firmly part of the core. GM Ryan Johnson raves about his fit and potential, calling him a cornerstone for the team’s future. Buium, a first-round pick by Minnesota, delivered 12 points (3G, 9A) in 45 games last season and has 26 points in 76 career games. This move signals the Canucks are all-in on building a championship contender around their young stars. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
