"In the worst-kept-secret department, the Canucks will sign Peter Schaefer to a one-year deal on Thursday afternoon. Pleasantly surprising the Canucks coaching staff and front office at training camp and in preseason games, the 33-year-old Schaefer had been out of hockey for a year, and out of the NHL for two, before being granted a tryout offer from the club. Now that the salary-cap machinations are out of the way, the Canucks have the cap space to sign the player the franchise originally drafted with the 66th pick overall in 1995." http://communities.canada.com/thepr...chaefer-to-sign-with-canucks-on-thursday.aspx
