Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet: (mailbag) The Vancouver Canucks should be looking to keep both Jake Virtanen and Troy Stecher. If they are okay with not bringing Stecher back, he won’t be qualified and would become a UFA. Virtanen should have decent trade value as the 23-year old had 18 goals this past season if they want to go route.
Canucks GM Jim Benning‘s top priorities are re-signing Jacob Markstrom and Tyler Toffoli, and then Chris Tanev.
Forward Micheal Ferland has three years left at $10.
