The Vancouver Canucks have some valuable players in their roster that, if general manager Jim Benning can’t afford to re-sign or come to terms on an extension with, will soon be heading to the open market as unrestricted free agents.

The hard work and incredible maneuvering of trades over the past year by Benning to acquire a playoff-ready team had finally arrived, only to be ripped away by the world’s currently disastrous circumstances.
