fans were clamoring for general manager Jim Benning to make some sort of deadline trade.
After watching players such as Ben Bishop and Martin Hanzal bring decent returns to their old teams, it was starting to looked like the Canucks had waited too long to wade into the trade market. But “Trader Jim” finally made an appearance on Monday.
Longtime Canuck Alexandre Burrows was traded to the Ottawa Senators, in exchange for prospect Jonathan Dahlen.
Benning has endured plenty of criticism for trades he has made — or not made — in the last 12 months.
