July is approaching, meaning that the most terrifying time of the year for fans of the Vancouver Canucks is about to begin: free agency. Each year of his tenure, general manager Jim Benning has signed aging free agents such as Loui Eriksson or Brandon Sutter to contracts paying far more time and money than they are worth, and the team has been hurt for it.
All signs point to the same happening again this year, with Winnipeg Jets defenceman Tyler Myers the likely candidate this summer. Myers has been long rumoured to be in the process of negotiating a contract worth upwards of $49 Million with the Canucks.
