Position: D Shoots: Left

Let’s begin with this:

”Michael is a mobile, playmaking defenceman who adds depth and scoring to our blue line. His ability to log big minutes and contribute in all situations will help our team be competitive every night.” ~ Jim Benning

I think Ol’Jimbo hit the nail on the head with that one. The reason why Del Zotto was loggin lots of minutes might have been different than Benning planned though….or not. Many throughout the history of Canuck fandom state that this organization is a goalie graveyard, but the truth is that this team goes through more defensemen…
