Chris Tanev and Troy Stecher LOVED being Canucks you cannot convince me that a well meaning conversation wouldn’t have convinced them to take less money to stay with a team they were in love with.
Jacob Markstrom also loved being a Canucks and while it may be hard to pay him what he deserved he wasn’t the MVP of this team two years in a row for nothing.
Jim Benning could’ve easily saved at least 2/3 of these people, players that were the very heart and soul of this team, from leaving. He just simply did not do it, full stop.
