CANUCKS NEWS: As fun as Saturday night’s game was (and it was literally just Daniel Sedin punching Brad Marchand in the face away from perfection), sadly we must return to reality. And that reality is that Jim Benning doesn’t seem to understand what the glaring needs are for this team. Despite every possible metric, eye test and common sense assessment that says this team is a dumpster fire on defence, Jim’s got his priorities, and that’s toughness up front.
The #Canucks had a scout listed at the EDM - COL game yesterday, a day after Benning said he could be looking for size at the deadline.
