Canucks sing undrafted defenseman to two-year deal.

The Vancouver Canucks have officially announced the signing of 23-year-old defenseman Evan McEneny.

From the Canucks official announcement:

Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has re-signed defenceman Evan McEneny to a two-year, two-way contract.

McEneny, 23, appeared in 64 games with Utica last season where he finished ranked second among defencemen in goals (8), fourth in assists (15) and third in points (23). He also made his NHL debut last season on February 25th versus San Jose totalling 15:08 TOI. In his first full season of professional hockey in 2015.16, McEneny ranked second among Kalamazoo Wings defencemen in scoring with 25 points (1-24-25) in 36 regular season games.

For Mceneny this has to be a great feeling, the 23-year old defenseman was overlooked by every single team in the league and went undrafted but now has earned himself a National Hockey League contract.

While he appeared in just a single game for the Canucks last season, he played 64 games for their American Hockey League affiliate the Utica Comets, and this new multi-year deal seems evidence that the Canucks liked what they saw from him.
