Some believe Blueger had done enough to deserve a pay raise, but it appears that he wanted to stay with the Canucks more than he wanted the extra dollar on his contract.
The Latvian forward participated in 68 games this season; he scored six goals and collected 28 points. Blueger was an essential part of the Canucks penalty kill and played a role of importance in the team's defensive zone success. Tocchet will gladly have him in his arsenal for an extra two years.
