TSN Radio Vancouver: Vancouver Canucks GM Jim Benning: “The message to our fans is to continue to be patient. We’re going to do things the right way. We’re going to draft and develop and we’re going to develop this thing piece-by-piece so we can be competitive for a long time.”
Dan Murphy: GM Benning said that Jonathan Dahlen’s agent had asked for a trade as Dahlen was unhappy that he wasn’t moving up the organization quick enough. The Canucks felt he hadn’t worked hard enough to get a shot.
