Vancouver Canucks general Manager Jim Benning’s biggest strength is drafting, whether that’s due to his scouting background or simply the scouting group that he has assembled.
That group includes the likes of Judd Brackett, Thomas Gradin and Ron Delorme. There has been much praise for the Canucks on how theyve drafted over the past few years.. This is because of home run picks like Brock Boeser at 23rd in the draft, Elias Pettersson at fifth overall and even some later round picks that with some upside like Adam Gaudette, Lukas Jasek and Jack Rathbone.
