The Vancouver Canucks announced Tuesday they’ve signed Raiders defenceman Mackenze Stewart.

The Canucks drafted Stewart in the seventh round, 186^th overall in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. Stewart has played in 127 career games with the Raiders.

By signing, Stewart could start his professional career in the Canucks organization as soon as next year as he’ll enter his 20-year-old season.

If he returns to the Raiders, they’ll need to use one of their three overage spots to play him.
