Vancouver Canucks general manager Jim Benning has received mixed reviews among fans and pundits during his first four years at the helm, but he’s surely given this team the deepest prospect pool in their history.
Led by the wonderful draft selections of Brock Boeser, Elias Pettersson and now Quinn Hughes and Jett Woo, Benning has built up a great young core that promises to restore the glory days in Vancouver over the next few years.
And according to rankings from Steve Kournianos of Sporting News, only the Buffalo Sabres (first) and Philadelphia Flyers (second), own better farm systems than the Canucks.
