Grenier and Pedan

On Tuesday, the Canucks re-signed forwards Alex Grenier and Andrey Pedan, adding to the pool of depth in the Canucks AHL team of Utica.
Grenier, 24, was 2 points shy of the 50 point mark with the Comets. He was the leading scorer on the team. He also played in 6 games for the Canucks, where he was scoreless, and had a -4 in +/-. The contract is a 1 year deal worth 600k, according to Cap Friendly.
Pedan, 21, was a New York Islanders prospect who was acquired by the Canucks in 2014-15. He was drafted in the 3rd round in 2011 by the Isles Last season (2015-16) he played in 13 games with the Canucks, going scoreless, as well as a -3. In Utica, he dominated. With a +17 +/- and 21 points in 45 games, those were impressive numbers by this young man from Russia.
Overall, these resignings help the Canucks out. Pedan is a crafty playmaker, who also lead Utica in Assists. Pedan is an underrated player who is a good contributor as well as a solid 2-way grinder. They will certainly help the Utica squad that made it to the Calder Cup Finals in 2014-15.
