Jim Benning casually strolled into his canucks press conference and dropped several news stories. imacsportsnet tries to make sense of it all and where the team goes from here. SNTrade

Josh Leivo’s knee injury is worse than thought and he too is probably out until at least the playoffsTrading excellent collegian Tyler Madden to the Kings for Toffoli on Monday wasn’t too hard because

Benning gave the Kings his second-round draft pick and Madden, the 160-pound Northeastern University scoring star who appeared as high as third on a lot of insiders’ prospects rankings for the Canucks, but was deemed expendable by hockey operations in light of the tidal wave of other Vancouver prospects rolling towards the NHL.

Benning did not identify his super seven, but we’re guessing it’s something like: forwards Nils Hoglander, Vasily Podkolzin and Kole Lind, defencemen Olli Juolevi, Brogan Rafferty and Jack Rathbone, and goalie Mike DiPietro. “We always got along with each other,” Pearson said of Toffoli. “We lived in the same building in Manchester . When we first got called up, we spent summers together in L.A. and lived together there. I probably spent too much time with him, to be honest.”

Toffoli said he knew a few of the Canucks, including former King Oscar Fantenberg, and that the group instantly made him feel comfortable. Toffoli already had intel that “J.T. likes to talk a lot, so we’ll just go from there and just read off of each other.”
