According to a source, the Canucks have signed Everett Silvertips player Kellan Tochkin.

He was one of the Canucks’ prospect camp invitees, and apparently impressed the coaching/scouting staff enough to get a contract. League minimum two-way deal most likely.

Here’s what I wrote about him in the prospect camp preview.

Kellan Tochkin from Abbotsford, BC was one of the Everett Silvertips’ better players for the 2008/09 season, scoring 74 points in 72 games. He’s also a bit of a smaller player, at only 5′10″. Also interesting to note is that between the draft and this prospect camp, he’s the only WHL player that was on the Canucks’ radar.

Edit July 27: Looks like it’s now official. http://canucks.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=457732
