The Vancouver Canucks caught everyone off guard by signing general manager Jim Benning to a reported contract extension Friday afternoon. Here are The Canuck Way staff’s thoughts on it. Fire up the roundtable.

I already gave my initial thoughts on the deal when it was first signed. Do I like Jim Benning as a general manager? Yes. Do I think he is deserving of a contract extension before we have seen what his new-look Canucks can accomplish? No.
To me, the timing just seems strange for this deal.
