Patrick Johnston of the Vancouver Province: Canucks GM Jim Benning gave up a 2020 7th round pick for goaltender Marek Mazanec.
Benning inquired about other goaltenders but found the asking prices too high.
“Some of the other guys on the list, teams wanted second- and third-round picks for. I didn’t want to do that, to trade second- or third-round picks, with us hosting the draft (this) year.”
Canucks could make Sutter available
Jason Brough of The Athletic: With Bo Horvat, Elias Pettersson, Jay Beagle and Adam Gaudette down the middle, the Vancouver Canucks could look to move Brandon Sutter.
