The Canucks acquired the scoring winger Daniel Sprong at a very meagre cost this weekend.

A winger with high-end offensive attributes but questionable two-way play, Patrik Allvin made a signing, hoping it could turn into gold. A one-year deal worth $975K for a player who scored 39 goals over the last two seasons is a bargain.

The Canucks introduced their newest acquisition to the media today, making him available to the press. A formal announcement was made regarding his number. It was confirmed today that Sprong would showcase Nikita Zadorov's former number, the infamous 91.

Spring played with the Detroit Red Wings last season, appearing in 76 regular-season games. The Dutch scored an impressive 18 tallies while averaging a little over 12 minutes a night. Unlike a certain Ilya Mikheyev, Sprong has a wicked shot and a knack for scoring.

The expectation is that he'll be allowed to play by Jake Debrusk and Elias Pettersson's side. An intense battle between Sprong and Hoglander during camp is expected. If Tocchet and his staff manage to make a top-six winger out of Sprong, this may wind up being the steal of this year's free agency.
