The Vancouver Canucks are trying to reach an extension with goalie Jacob Markstrom. Here is the latest on contract talks between the two sides.

Vancouver Canucks general manager Jim Benning has several key free agents to re-sign this offseason, but starting goalie Jacob Markstrom is unquestionably the top priority.

Markstrom, who was named the 2018-19 team MVP, was instrumental in helping Vancouver qualify for the 24-team postseason.
