Vancouver Canucks: 5 Takeaways from Year-End Press Conference

The Vancouver Canucks year-end press conference was quite interesting to watch. Here are five takeaways.

The postseason is where the fun starts — even for the Vancouver Canucks. Okay, we only get to watch all-American playoffs and the World Championship instead of Canucks hockey, but speculating about what could and will be is also a lot of fun.

Thanks to the Canucks’ year-end press conference, we have quite a bit to talk about. Almost every player talked to the media on Tuesday, but the really interesting part was when general manager Jim Benning and head coach Willie Desjardins sat down on the podium. The players had some cool stuff to say, of course, but Benning is the one in charge when we are talking about the offseason.

Unfortunately, Benning did not reveal any of his offseason strategies other than the usual “we’ll explore every possibility” talk. But, he did talk about what he thinks of the club’s young players, what could happen with his unsigned college free agents, and what he expects to get out of the 2016 NHL Draft.
