Probably because the TEAM 1040 is the propaganda ministry for the Vancouver Canucks. They LOVE Linden and Benning, and will be loathe to draw any attention to his blunders.

Looks like just this so far:
@renlavoietva
The NHL is looking at a complain of tampering after what #canucks Jim Benning said yesterday regarding Steven Stamkos and PK Subban.

Just mentioned on 1040, and as expected "Bro Jake" and David Pratt are doing their god-damned best to underplay it.

Of course they do. They are notoriously apologetic about the current regime.

Fitting as it was the Canucks who complained about the Leafs and Ron Wilson tampering back in 2009. He did the same thing Benning just did right before free agency in regards to the Sedins.
Burke had to deal with that mess, hopefully he's the one who filed charges here. haha
They also complained about Burke talking about Bieksa and Burrows.

The Canucks filed a complaint when Burke's comments at the draft surfaced during the recent broadcast of a documentary on Leafs about the Toronto GM .
Burke said that Vancouver was shopping Alex Burrows and Kevin Bieksa, who are still with the Canucks.

Ugh god Bro Jake and Pratt have to be the most insufferable radio duo on earth. Horrendous insight peppered with Lewinsky-joke caliber humour, calling beers "wobbly pops" etc

Uh, HATE those guys. Pratt and Jake are two of the most egotistical blowhards on radio. I'm sure Pratt had a throbbing forehead vein all morning when talking about it.
I only listen to the afternoon squad. Don't always agree with their hockey viewpoints but at least they are entertaining, and MacDonald does a decent interview. Also don't mind the Ferraro segments - he's had a bad rap on CP but I like the insights from his playing days and his between-the-benches job.

Agreed. If I had to take a drink whenever they refer to someone as "Baby" I'd be dead an hour into their time slot.
Pratt, especially, is a huge brown-noser for anyone in Canucks management. Not surprised to hear he was down-playing the tampering charge.

Personally, I think it's a dumb rule. But I'm not gonna lie, this is comedy at it's finest.
I remember when teams made fun of us when Feaster did some of the stuff he did. Oh how the tables have turned.
Dim Jim indeed. I hope he's a Canuck for life

They are terrible. It boggles the mind how either one of them continue to get work on the radio. I kind of love that Pratt was fired from his last gig in Vancouver because of a very public dispute he had with Brian Burke while he was the Canucks GM.

It's not stalking if she can't see you hiding in the bushes.

I'm half convinced Benning did this on purpose. My theory is he is being held hostage in Vancouver and cant find a way out of his contract, so he is intentionally trying to get fired.
Although this would assume Dim Jim was smart enough to come up with this plan, which all previous stupid actions would say otherwise. UNLESS all of those were an attempt to get fired and he still couldn't get fired so he had to resort to breaking NHL rules.
Either way, great entertainment, would recommend

Why do you think it is a dumb rule? The rule is in place to protect the negotiating position of a team and to ensure that their rights are not maliciously undermined by highly competitive GMs.

Stupid. Nothing probably comes of it, but it is still stupid.

Honest question, what does Lewinsky-joke caliber humour?
They like to talk about semen stains a lot?
