Benning will prove his mettle this summer with the Sedins, Baertschi, Granlund, and Virtanen entering free agency. The Canucks have only one defenseman signed past next season.

If you remember, the Canucks were sitting in a playoff position neck and neck with us around the beginning of December before they suffered a ton of injuries to almost their entire top 6 forward group and top defensemen. That’s relatively competitive for a rebuilding group. Benning has made some good moves and they’ve drafted some nice prospects as of late,m. I personally don’t think he’s laughably bad as many may think.
