Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has signed defenceman Oscar Fantenberg to a one-year contract worth $850,000.

"Oscar adds depth to our blueline and brings a strong all-around game to our team," said Benning.
Fantenberg, 27, split the 2018.19 season between the Kings (2-1-3 in 46 games) and Flames (0-1-1 in 15 games). In two NHL seasons, the 6-0, 206-pound defenceman has recorded 13 points (4-9-13) in 88 games. He also has one assist in seven Stanley Cup playoff games.
