rh71, what do you think about the Caps getting Petr Sykora?

The Caps are getting "the other" Petr Sykora, not the one who's playing with the Ducks.

DOH! ouch.

BURNABY, B.C. (CP) - The Vancouver Canucks and Mattias Ohlund have avoided salary arbitration after the defenceman was signed to a four-year deal Wednesday.

Ohlund's case was scheduled to be heard by an arbitrator Friday. Financial details weren't immediately available. He had reportedly wanted around $3.25 million US per season.

"We are extremely pleased to have come to terms with Mattias," Canucks GM Dave Nonis said in a release. "He has proven himself to be one of the premier defencemen in this league and we are thrilled that he will be wearing a Canucks jersey to start the 2005-06 season."

In 2003-04, the Swede recorded 14 goals and 20 assists in 82 games and was plus-14. He added a goal and four assists in seven playoff games.

Ohlund, 28, has 54 goals and 158 assists in 480 career regular-season games.

The six-foot-two, 220-pound blue-liner was selected 13th overall by the Canucks in the 1994 draft.

Cheers,
Aquaman
