The Vancouver Canucks announced Wednesday that they have re-signed winger Jannik Hansen.

The 23-year-old had six goals and 15 assists in 55 games with Vancouver last season and had one goal in two games for the AHL's Manitoba Moose. He suited up in two playoff games for the Canucks and had an even plus-minus with no points tallied.

Terms were not disclosed by the club, but The Globe and Mail and Vancouver Sun are reporting that the deal is a two-way contract worth $550,000 US.

The six-foot-one, 201-pound Danish forward was selected by the Canucks in the ninth round of the 2004 NHL draft.
