And Miller has been a point per game player for the Canucks the entire season and has another 3 years on at a good salary.
Plus the Lightning traded that first round pick (plus a good prospect) for Coleman... so in the long run the Canucks did very well.
Benning is good with drafting (some misses but lots of good players), good with trades (same thing), scary awful at free agents though.

If the Canucks miss the playoffs this season NJ will get their pick next year and it could be very high, especially if they lose Markstrom
