You had a rookie President who know nothing about anything and he's interviewing a former teammate who was a veteran leader on the Canucks when he was a rookie. And according to Linden he was 'blown away' by the fact that Benning could talk about individual goals that some of the prospects for the 2014 draft had scored and that 'draft knowledge' seemed to be what got him hired.
the surprising thing is benning was only 25 years old in linden’s rookie year, and a marginal player playing his way out of the lineup. of the canucks’ regular dmen, jimbo was actually the youngest on the roster, followed by nordmark and butcher (26), lidster and melnyj (28), reinhart (29), and the grizzled old snepsts (34).
back on topic, benning then was only two years older than jett woo now. weird to think right?
