[Signing] Nils Aman - two year deal with Canucks

[Goalie29]

Vancouver, B.C. – Vancouver Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that the club has agreed to terms with forward Nils Aman on a two-year contract.

“Nils has worked hard on his development since we brought him into our organization,” said Allvin. “He is a smart two-way hockey player who uses his speed to his advantage. We will continue to work with Nils to help him grow and improve his game.”

 

Aman, 23, made his NHL debut with Vancouver last season recording 16 points (4-12-16) and 18 penalty minutes in 68 games played. In 32 career AHL games, as spent with the Abbotsford Canucks, Aman has accumulated 24 points (12-12-14) and 10 penalty minutes. 

 

Prior to his North American career, Aman played 110 career SHL games with Leksands IF, recording 27 points (9-18-27) and 18 penalty minutes while adding a point (1-0-1) in 7 career playoff games.

 

The Avesta, Sweden native has represented his country on the international stage on multiple occasions, totaling 13 points (2-11-13) and six penalty minutes in 29 games. Most recently, he was selected to represent Sweden at the 2022 IIHF World Championship.

 

The 6'2", 185-pound forward was originally drafted by the Colorado Avalanche in the sixth round, 167th overall in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.

[Coryberg]

Now that we got him locked up we can focus on Pettersson!

A side note…the radio broadcasting crew kept pronouncing his name as “Oh-mon”. Is that correct? I thought it was pronounced more like it’s spelled.

It’s far from how it should be pronounced in swedish, but I’m sure he won’t mind.

Any time I have seen Aman play in Abbotsford he has stood out with his agility, his tenacity on the forecheck, his long reach and the speed he plays the game at. His steady progression since coming over from Sweden is what development looks like, boys and girls.

Great to see for the team.

Oman is doing great.  Another Swedish player that should be a permanent fixture in the lineup.  Can't wait until Lekkerimaki, Willander and the other Petey join him.

 

Still can't figure out how they will differentiate the two Petey's since they have the exact name.  They might give D-Petey a middle initial on the jersey.  I believe that is what we did when we had two Greg Adams back in the day.  Not sure if D-Petey has a middle initial though.

PA signs Aman and he scores 2 helpers! I like his size and speed. As soon as PA can make space Aman should be a regular. I think he goes back to Abby today so that Kuz can come back in. That will leave him with 1 game on his waivers exemption.

One will have Pettersson, the other will have E. Pettersson and different numbers will help.

D-Petey's middle name is Nils.... EP40's middle is Fredrik.

What will Shorty do to differentiate?  He’s probably losing sleep over it as we speak?  

[elvis15]

Nice to keep him in the fold, I like Aman. With our additions this year he has a big challenge to beat out other players for a roster spot, but that's a good problem to have.

Swedish pronunciations (made up on the spot):

 

Åman – Oh mon

Lekkerimaki – Letterkenny

Willander – Vee Logo (is better)

 

You're welcome!

This management group was applauded for their work in Pittsburgh for building up the bottom six depth, and are doing the same great job here. Making it look easy compared to how JB struggled mightily with it.
