If the Canucks want to get tougher, chase these guys instead

So it seems as if Milan Lucic is the flavour of the week in Vancouver right now.

The rumours make all too much sense on the surface. Jim Benning chased Milan Lucic in 2016, before the Vancouver native signed a seven-year, $42 million deal with the Edmonton Oilers. Benning then settled on signing Loui Eriksson to squeeze some juice out of the Sedins before they retired.

Fast-forward to three years later and the Sedins have retired. Eriksson, instead of taking blame for his lack of effort and production, called out his head coach instead.
