Yes, but it did take a 50 thousand dollar fine to drive that point home...from a little over a year ago.
Vancouver Canucks general manager Jim Benning’s public expression of interest in pending free agent Steve Stamkos and current Montreal Canadiens defenceman PK Subban has resulted in the club being fined $50,000.
Last Thursday, Benning told TSN 1040 radio that he had called Montreal about a potential trade for Subban. He also stated that he planned to reach out to Stamkos, who is set to test free agency on Friday after spending his first eight seasons in the NHL with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
