Thu. May 4, 2006


Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks Senior Vice-President and General Manager Dave Nonis announced today that the Canucks have signed 2005 first round draft pick, defenceman Luc Bourdon. In keeping with club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Bourdon, 19, has signed his first pro contract after being drafted 10th overall by Vancouver in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. The 6-foot-2, 211 pound defenceman split the 2005-06 season between the Val-d’Or Foreurs and the Moncton Wildcats of the QMJHL, recording 20 points (2-18-20) and 54 penalty minutes in 20 games played with Val-d’Or and eight points (1-7-8) and eight penalty minutes in ten games played with Moncton. As a member of the Wildcats, Bourdon is currently vying for the President’s Cup in the QMJHL final and will play at the Memorial Cup, which is hosted by Moncton this season.

The native of Shippagan, New Brunswick has also spent time with the Canadian National team Development Program. Bourdon was named to the 2006 World Junior Championship All-Star Team after winning a Gold Medal with Team Canada at the tournament in Vancouver. He also won a Silver Medal and was named top defenceman at the World Under-18 Championship in 2005 and a Gold Medal in 2004.

Is it just me or had nonis just kinda ridden the waves this year and not done much, ok so im a fat nerd from portland that doesn't know shit about the doings of a NHL GM but come on Eric Wienrich? Kieth Carney? Bottom of the Barrel? I'm sure glad he got bourdon signed. Good job mr. Nonis. I just wish you were Brian Burke. But your not, and if i really didn't like it i could go be a ducks fan i guess.
