Jake Virtanen is on my team, and so is Jared McCann. Probably they’re on your teams, too.
I’d like rookie defenceman Ben Hutton on my team as well, but it’s difficult to find a way to make that happen because I’m not exposing Frankie Corrado on waivers and would prefer not to waive Yannick Weber, either.
It’s tough being a National Hockey League general manager.
But it’s much better for Vancouver Canuck boss Jim Benning now than it was during the summer, when he was getting spit-roasted for trading folk-hero backup goalie Eddie Lack and, among other moves, an incongruous trade that sent 24-year-old Zack Kassian to the Montreal Canadiens for 31-year-old Brandon Prust.
