Benning: Canucks "can resolve" three-goalie situation near draft
/Canucks GM Jim Benning was on Vancouver’s TSN 1040 on Thursday afternoon.
On if the three-goalie situation has a timeline as far as the trade deadline, or if it can be resolved in the summer:
"Yeah, that’s something that we can go into the draft. We can resolve that at the draft. The problem in-season is usually everybody is happy with the goalies they have. Going into the draft they start thinking about who their goalies are going to be next year. So there might be more of a market for goalies at the draft than there is in-season.
"So we’ll just continue to monitor it and if something happens during the season we’ll look at it, but that probably will happen before the draft.”
