Patrik Allvin finally confirms it for Arturs Silovs

The Canucks announced a two-year extension for their rising star moments ago, at this moment confirming his return. Arturs Silovs inked a two-year deal worth $1.7M.

Silovs's signing a contract with a $0.85M cap hit is ideal for the club and also a heck of a bargain. At the moment, Allvin expects a two-person battle between Silovs and Jiri Patera to be the goaltender behind Thatcher Demko.

Silov Stoke rose when he was called upon during the playoffs. The Latvian took Casey DeSmith's job during the team's two-round playoff run. He'll have the opportunity to cement his job with the club when comes September and the training camp.
