Canucks Reassign Arshdeep Bains, Recall Aatu Räty

November 5, 2024 at 11:14 am CDT | by Josh Erickson Leave a Comment

The Canucks have reassigned left-winger Arshdeep Bains to AHL Abbotsford and recalled center Aatu Räty, general manager Patrik Allvin announced today. Räty will play against the Ducks tonight after spending the last few weeks in the minors. At the same time, Vancouver still has an open roster spot to activate Dakota Joshua from injured reserve as he nears a return to play after undergoing surgery to address testicular cancer in September.

Bains, 23, has been papered between leagues with frequency this season. Less than a month into the 2024-25 campaign, he’s now been recalled and assigned to Abbotsford on four occasions. Between those transactions, he’s been on the roster for every Canucks game aside from their season opener against the Flames. He’s played seven times and been a healthy scratch twice, recording his first NHL point – a goal against the Penguins on Oct. 26 – in the process. However, the hometown kid hasn’t produced any offense outside of that and has a -3 rating with only five shots on goal, averaging 11:40 per game.

An undrafted free agent signing from the Western Hockey League’s Red Deer Rebels in 2022, Bains has been quite productive in the minors in his young professional career, even if it hasn’t translated to the NHL yet. He’s yet to suit up for Abbotsford this season between brief demotions but was among their best players last season, scoring 16 goals and 39 assists for 55 points in 59 games and earning a spot on the Pacific Division’s roster for the AHL All-Star Game. But including an eight-game trial last season, he has just one goal on nine shots through 15 NHL appearances. His possession impacts have been quite negative, too. The Canucks control only 46.2% of shot attempts with Bains on the ice at even strength compared to 54.9% without him, a significant swing.

He’s also a winger, and with Pius Suter moving from center to second-line wing alongside Elias Pettersson and Conor Garland (per Harman Dayal of The Athletic), the Canucks needed a pivot to anchor the fourth line. Up comes Räty to fill the void. Acquired from the Islanders in 2023’s Bo Horvat trade, the soon-to-be 22-year-old cracked Vancouver’s opening night roster but was demoted to Abbotsford after three games. He recorded an assist and averaged 9:41 per game during his brief stint on the Canucks’ roster earlier this season, going 14-for-23 on faceoffs and controlling 53.6% of shot attempts at even strength. Whether Räty is a higher-upside option offensively than Bains right now remains to be seen, but he has shown in a small sample to be a far more influential player in other areas of the game.

The 6’2″ pivot has been quite good for Abbotsford since being sent down last month. In eight appearances, he leads the team in scoring with seven points (3 G, 4 A). He’s in the final season of his entry-level contract and will be a restricted free agent next summer.
