VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks have added to their blue line depth, signing defenceman Jack Thomson to a new contract.

General manager Ryan Johnson announced the news on Friday, saying the 24-year-old from Courtice, Ont., has agreed to a one-year, two-way deal.

Thompson spent much of last season in the American Hockey League, logging 14 games with the Abbotsford Canucks and 42 with the San Jose Barracuda, and posting a total of six goals and 25 points.

The six-foot-one, 189-pound blue liner was part of the San Jose Sharks organization before being dealt to Vancouver for Jett Woo on March 5.
