The Vancouver Canucks have made a move to bolster their goaltending depth, signing 25-year-old netminder Dylan Ferguson to a contract. Ferguson, a seventh-round pick by the Dallas Stars in 2017, has spent time in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), Western Hockey League (WHL), American Hockey League (AHL), and ECHL, honing his skills and waiting for his chance to shine.
Ferguson’s journey has been marked by ups and downs, including a stint with the Vegas Golden Knights, where he made an emergency appearance in 2017-18, and a successful run with the ECHL’s Fort Wayne Komets, where he helped the team win the Kelly Cup in 2020-21. Last season, he appeared in 13 AHL games and made two starts for the Ottawa Senators, showcasing his potential and earning a spot on the Canucks’ radar.
The Canucks, who had a strong 2023-24 season with a Pacific Division title, are looking to strengthen their goaltending corps after a second-round playoff exit. Ferguson’s signing adds depth and competition to the position, and he’ll have the opportunity to prove himself and make a case for more playing time. With his experience and determination, Ferguson is ready to take the next step in his career and contribute to the Canucks’ success.
