Canucks: Keeping Tyler Toffoli is easier said than done

Vancouver Canucks general manager Jim Benning went all-in when he acquired Tyler Toffoli from the Los Angeles Kings before the trade deadline, and the 27-year-old delivered instant results for his new team.

With Brock Boeser briefly sidelined, Toffoli stepped into the top-six, where he performed beautifully with six goals and 10 points in as many games. Toffoli’s leadership and experience (he won a Stanley Cup with the Kings in 2014) was going to be be instrumental in Vancouver’s playoff push, too.

Toffoli is set to enter unrestricted free agency this summer, and though the Canucks would obviously love to keep him, it’s much easier said than done.
