Signs with Vancouver Joseph (upper body) signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Canucks on Wednesday.

Impact Joseph made 47 regular-season appearances between Pittsburgh and St. Louis last year, recording three assists, 45 PIM, 36 hits and 36 blocked shots while averaging 15:16 of ice time. He missed the final 20 games of the regular season due to an upper-body injury, and it's unclear how the issue will impact his availability for the 2025-26 campaign. However, once he's healthy, the 26-year-old should have a chance to compete for a role on the Canucks' blue line.

Completes individual skate Joseph (upper body) skated before Wednesday's practice, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

Impact Joseph's return to the ice is certainly a step in the right direction, but the fact that he isn't working with the team yet -- and it was unclear if he would join the Pens' upcoming three-game road trip -- doesn't inspire confidence that he will be back in the lineup soon. At this point, the 25-year-old blueliner should probably be considered out indefinitely until he resumes full-contact practices.

Getting top-four look Joseph notched an assist, two shots on goal, four PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Devils.

Impact The helper was Joseph's first point in 18 games since he was traded back to the Penguins from the Blues. He had a hard time staying in the lineup in St. Louis, but he's now in a top-four spot in Pittsburgh following the trade that sent Marcus Pettersson to Vancouver. Joseph has just three helpers to go with 37 shots on net, 32 hits, 30 blocked shots, 43 PIM and a minus-14 rating through 41 outings overall, so he'll need to show more on offense to be a fantasy option.
