VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks have signed forwards Adam Gaudette and Jayce Hawryluk to one-year contracts.

Gaudette signed a one-way contract worth US$950,000.

He also made his post-season debut in the 2019-20, appearing in 10 games. 

In 120 career games, all with Vancouver, Gaudette has tallied 45 points (17 goals, 28 assists) and 55 penalty minutes.

A native of Braintree, Mass., Gaudette was originally selected by Vancouver in the fifth round, 149th overall, at the 2015 NHL draft.

The 24-year-old Hawryluk, from Yorkton, Sask., agreed to a two-way contract.

Prior to joining the Senators, Hawryluk had a goal and two assists in 15 games with Florida, and an assist in six games with the American Hockey League's Springfield Thunderbirds.

Hawryluk has 10 goals and 22 assists over 68 career games with Florida and Ottawa.
