Canucks' Tuomo Ruutu: Will attend camp on PTO
Tuomo Ruutu signed a professional tryout agreement with the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday.Ruutu has been with the Devils the past three seasons, but saw action in just 33 games this past year due to a fractured foot that kept him off the ice for an extended period of time. The 33-year-old veteran winger was only able to notch one assist and remained well off the fantasy radar. Ruutu isn't getting any younger and has dealt with his fair share of injuries, so it's tough to see him making a large impact with the Canucks.
