Mike Gillis, GM of the Vancouver Canucks, announced today that the Vancouver Canucks have re-signed Canucks forward Steve Bernier. Bernier, 24, would have been a restricted free agent come July 1st. He made 2.5 Million this year, and it’s reported that his new contract is a 2 year deal worth 2 million a season. Along with the contract, the Canucks have challenged Bernier to improve his hands, skating and conditioning over the summer break, providing him with a nutritionist, and a specialized coach to help with his skating stride. They also have designed a conditioning program for Bernier to follow, that will include game-play like situations that will hopefully improve his awareness and finishing touch around the net. Steve Bernier had 15 goals for the Canucks this past season, but had a countless number of chances around the net, missing or fanning on great scoring opportunities.
“We all would’ve liked to seen him scores more goals with the opportunities he had,” Mike Gillis said. “But he got those opportunities and he generated those opportunities. We’re hoping he will be able to relax and capitalize on those chances”.
