In a recent interview with TSN’s Farhan Lalji, Vancouver Canucks GM Jim Benning confirmed that he has been receiving calls about the fifth-overall pick in the 2016 NHL Draft. While he is not actively shopping it, he is listening to offers and expects talks to heat up as we get closer to June 24th.
Benning still isn't looking to move the 5th pick but does expect dialogue to increase in the next week. Has 6 players he likes so happy at 5

As Benning told Lalji, there are six players he likes for the fifth pick, so he is happy with where he is.
