As Vancouver Canucks general manager Jim Benning told TSN 1040 in an interview in early March, there is more than one NCAA free agent the Canucks want to talk to in the off-season. In fact, Benning even made a list of players and ranked them by how much he likes them.
“We’ve had conversation these last couple of weeks, we did the groundwork with agents, we have a list of players in the order that we like them, and as their teams start losing out and they decide that they’re gonna turn pro, we’re gonna be in on that too.
