Vancouver Canucks general manager Jim Benning touched base on a variety of topics with the media, including Jacob Markstrom and the draft.

The Vancouver Canucks are gearing up for one of the most pivotal offseasons in franchise history as they look to build upon the success of 2019-20.

This is going to be an offseason like no other for several general managers, including Jim Benning. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic forced the NHL to retain the $81.5 million salary cap number for 2020-21.

The draft and free agency are starting this week.
