The Vancouver Canucks will have approximately $26 million in cap space to work with this summer, although a chunk of that will go to re-signing star sniper Brock Boeser — and perhaps top blueliner Alexander Edler.
Assuming he gets those two deals done, Benning should still have enough cap space to add one or two impact players in free agency and/or the trade market. Right now, Benning’s focus is to determine whom the Canucks should take with the No. 10 pick in the draft, which is only two months away.
