Vancouver Canucks recall Jim Vandermeer from AHL Chicago. The 33-year-old Vandermeer is a little different than the rest of the young prospects he was recalled alongside. Vandermeer made the Canucks out of training camp but was waived after watching the first two games from the press box. Vandermeer has two assists and 17 penalty minutes in 21 career NHL playoff games.

Vancouver Canucks assign Jim Vandermeer to AHL Chicago Wolves. The Canucks put Vandermeer on waivers Monday. Once he passed through, the AHL assignment was just a matter of time. Jordan Schroeder was called up in his place.

Look for Jim Vandermeer to be sent to the AHL when he passes through waivers at 12 ET Tuesday. We are assuming the Vancouver defenseman and part-time winger will pass through waivers and he will be headed to the Chicago Wolves. The Vancouver Province is speculating that Jordan Schroeder will be called up to replace Vandermeer on the roster. Stay tuned.

Jim Vandermeer has inked a two-way contract with the Vancouver Canucks. He will earn $600,000 at the NHL level and $275,000 in the minors. Vandermeer is slated to compete with Chris Tanev, Andrew Alberts and new addition Cam Barker for the sixth, seventh and eighth spots on the team's defense corps. Vandermeer played 25 games with the San Jose Sharks last season and skated with several Canucks in Vancouver during the lockout.

Unrestricted free agent Jim Vandermeer would like to sign with the Vancouver Canucks once the NHL resumes. The Canucks need another defenseman after losing Aaron Rome and Vandermeer would be a good acquisition as an eighth defenseman. "It would be very attractive and work out great," Vandermeer said. "We've talked a little bit to Vancouver when we could, and it was the same as when we talked to other teams. We picked the ones who would have a need for a guy like me. Hopefully, when we start talking, they [Canucks] feel the same way." Vandermeer has little to no fantasy value.

Jim Vandermeer scored his first goal since March 1, 2011 on Tuesday. Vandermeer has four points in 23 games this season. Needless to say, he has no fantasy value in standard leagues.

The Sharks have activated Jim Vandermeer off the injured list in time for Saturday afternoon's game. We are not sure Vandermeer, who has been out of action since December 6th with a hand injury, will get to play. However, Jason Demers is sore and that might give the veteran rearguard a chance to suit up.
