deized_kanuck604 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 The Vancouver Canucks have agreed to a multi-year deal with Boston Bruins assistant general manager Jim Benning, who will be formally introduced as the 11th general manager in franchise history on Friday, according to a report from TSN's Darren Dreger. Though the organization did their due diligence and reportedly interviewed a number of candidates including Nashville's Paul Fenton and former Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson, the Vancouver Canucks only ever had one real candidate in their search for a new general manager. On Wednesday, reportedly, Vancouver locked up their man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroSen Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I know I am going to sound like a broken record, however as a fan I feel re-energized. I know the current version of the Canucks haven't played a single game yet however I feel the team is going to start improving, even if it is just insmall strides, relatively quickly. Welcome Jim Benning! I only ask that fans are patient with him and Linden, as there is a lot of work to do with this team, and there will be a waiting period for our younger players to mature.

Yes, great point, I totally forgot to mention that. Although with his scouting background, Benning my be the ideal guy to assess our scouting team and their methods.
