I have no idea what Jim Benning has in store for transactions on NHL Draft Day. We know he wants to recapture a 2nd round pick in this year's Draft. He can deal Eddie Lack for that pick. Is dealing Kevin Bieksa for a 2nd rounder fair value? Hmmmm....Maybe. Ok fine. Yes it is.
We head into today bracing ourselves for what moves Benning will make. Do the Canucks need to get younger? Yes. Do they need to get tougher? Absolutely. Milan Lucic fits both needs. He's 27 years old.
