VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks have signed a trio of free agents, including former Boston Bruins forward Jake DeBrusk.

The team announced the deals as the NHL’s free agency period opened Monday, saying DeBrusk has inked a seven-year contract that carries an annual-average value of US$5.5 million.

The 27-year-old left-winger had 40 points (19 goals, 21 assists) in 80 games for the Bruins last season, then chipped in another five goals and six helpers in 13 playoff appearances.
