Dreger: Canucks, Bruins "connecting" in potential trade talks

Darren Dreger was on Edmonton’s TSN 1260 on Thursday morning.

As part of a larger discussion on the Vancouver Canucks’ five-game losing skid:

“They made considerable changes. And I think there’s more to come here. Jim Benning isn’t a guy who spends a lot of time connecting with media and feeding the speculation and all of that. But I do hear that he is in the market. I can’t tell you exactly what he’s looking for because it’s not that specific. But I have heard rumblings that he and Pete Chiarelli are connecting in Boston. I know Boston is really hungry to do something. They’re looking for a top-six, top-nine forward.

“So, who knows? Maybe this type of setback will force management in Vancouver to take a harder look at what they’ve got. They’re not going to get it done in the next 24 hours here, before the holiday freeze, but managers who stop trying to improve are usually managers who are looking for work in a short period of time and I know Benning is a hard worker.”
