Iginla had to retire so the Canucks could hire him.

Sadly, this will make most of my Canucks fan-friends ecstatic. Trever Lindon is bad at his job.

What job? He didn't do anything as far as I can tell. He was pretty much a figurehead.

Insert "There are two Sedins?" gif here. Somehow it can be made to work.

I think Benning at the time was considered a prospective GM at the time. That said given how monotone and awkward he comes off as a speaker I'm not exactly sure how he sold Linden on him being the best man for the job. It all worked out in the end for Flames fans though. Probably means Benning is doesn't see it through the end of his new contract which is not so good for Flames fans.

Probably realized he could be doing something else with his time rather than trying to get this team out of the bottom 5.

Benning played for several years in Vancouver with Trever Linden.
