General manager Jim Benning is in the centre of a media surge regarding his future employment with the Vancouver Canucks. The debate has been discussed ad nauseam, whether it is between factions of fans on Twitter, or through our local and national sports medias.
It’s a hot topic, arguing the merits of team building, filling the prospect pipeline and everyone’s perception of the “correct” way to rebuild. I will not talk about any of that. Canucks fans want to know how Francesco Aquilini’s final decision will play out in April. Will Jim Benning earn a short-term extension?
