It was just a glimmer, but it was enough to make any realistic fan excited about the direction of this team.
Alas, reports later surfaced that the Canucks intended on bringing back Jim Benning for the 2021-22 season. His contract with the team runs until 2022-23.
So, expect more misguided signings and sloppy trades as fans in this market continue to pray that the prospect pipeline is good enough to compensate for the other areas of mismanagement within this management group.
