The Vancouver Canucks continued their busy Canada Day by locking down winger Sven Baertschi to a three-year deal with an annual average value of $3.367 million, the team announced.

"He's a talented offensive player. We look forward to seeing Sven further develop his complete game and become a consistent contributor to our success," said general manager Jim Benning.

Baertschi had a decent 2017-18 season despite missing 28 games due to injury. The speedy forward racked up 14 goals and 15 assists in 53 games.

The Swiss native has been with the Canucks since arriving in a deal from the Calgary Flames in 2015. The Flames drafted him 13th overall in 2011.
