Canucks' Benning: 'I'm not done for the day'

Jim Benning is just getting started.

The Vancouver Canucks general manager candidly addressed the media after dealing veteran forward Alex Burrows to the Ottawa Senators on Monday afternoon, insisting more deals could be coming.

"I'm not done for the day," Benning said. "I have some calls to make and if deals make sense for us, we're going to do them."

It appears that Benning has been quite active recently. On Friday, forward Jannik Hansen told reporters that he submitted a list of eight teams he would be willing to be traded to, while goaltender Ryan Miller signed off on his five-team list.

As for Monday's deal, Benning also confirmed that talks with Ottawa had been going on for the past three to four days before Burrows finally signed off on the deal Monday.

Benning is doing his due diligence, and with his team now nine points out of a playoff spot it appears the Canucks could be huge sellers in the coming days.
