Vancouver Canucks fans got to enjoy the franchise’s most successful season since the 2011 Stanley Cup run. Now comes the hard for general manager Jim Benning.
Benning’s team fell just one game shy of a surprise appearance in the Western Conference Final. But rather than search for offseason upgrades to get his team to that next level, Benning instead has to decide how much of the 2019-20 roster he wants to bring back.
Starting goalie Jacob Markstrom, veteran blueliner Chris Tanev and top-six forward Tyler Toffoli are all pending UFAs.
