Earlier today, a <a href="https://canucksarmy.com/2022/05/25/report-canucks-forward-alex-chiasson-signing-switzerland/">report out of Europe</a> suggested that Canucks forward Alex Chiasson could be signing with HC Lugano in the top league in Switzerland.
His agent says that is not true.
&#8220;Alex has no intention to sign in Switzerland,&#8221; Chiasson&#8217;s agent Pat Morris <a href="https://twitter.com/DhaliwalSports/status/1529667300952944640">told Rick Dhaliwal of Donnie and Dhali &#8211; The Team</a>. &#8220;His first intention is to re-sign with Vancouver if there is reciprocal interest&#8230; or failing that continue his career with another NHL team at the appropriate free agency period. Vancouver is his first choice.&#8221;
Chiasson, 31, tallied 13 goals and nine assists this season with the Canucks, and was a mainstay on the club’s first power play unit after signing a PTO out of training camp.
He especially heated up toward the end of the season, which made many fans hope that a reunion with the Canucks was possible, as Chiasson provided depth scoring for cheap this past season.
Unlike most years, free agency opens on July 13th this offseason.
