Jim Benning and the rest of the Vancouver Canucks’ management group including the hockey club’s owners deemed the 2019-20 Canucks a team that would do everything in its power to return to the postseason. If that’s going to happen remains to be seen, but up until the stoppage of regular season hockey, the Canucks were on the cusp of accomplishing that very goal.
Despite the COVID-19 virus derailing the NHL season, Jim Benning made an excellent effort this year to help his team the best he could. When the roster needed a little pick me up, he was there to lend a helping hand (When Brock Boeser was injured, he acquired Tyler Toffoli).
