VANCOUVER (CP) - Fan favourite and 16-year Vancouver Canuck veteran Trevor Linden has re-signed with the team.
The contract will pay the 37-year-old US$600,000 in base salary. The deal also includes an additional $350,000 in bonuses for games played.
The signing is a relief for Linden.
''For the last week or so, I was, for the lack of a better word, getting a little cranky," he laughed. ''Just with the uncertainty, now it focuses in for me..it just puts some closure to it.''

The six-foot-four, 220 pound centre, who is heading into his 19th NHL season, said he's now concentrating on attending training camp next month.

He holds a number of Canuck franchise records including 1,081 games played, 721 points and the most playoff games played at 118.
Linden was a presence in all 12 Vancouver playoff games last season, tying for the team lead in scoring with seven points and had the game-winning goal in Game 7 against the Dallas Stars.
Most of his19-year NHL career has been with Vancouver, but he's also played with Washington, Montreal and the New York Islanders.
