As General Manager Patrik Allvin gears up for a very busy offseason, top pending UFA and Florida Panthers forward Sam Bennett sends a clear message to the Vancouver Canucks and the rest of the NHL ahead of Free-Agency.
After an extremely disappointing season filled with drama and missing the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Vancouver Canucks' management had a tall task to try and fill the necessary gaps in order for the 2024-25 season to repeat itself.

With a ton of cap space, defending Stanley Cup champion power forward Sam Bennet encompasses everything that the Vancouver Canucks need in their top-6 to make it to the next level.
Although Bennett's asking price may be very much affordable for Patrik Allvin and the Canucks, the 28 year old delivers a very clear and blunt message to the team around the league about where he wants to play and sign with once his contract expires after the finals conclude.
Per NHL Insider David Pagnotta, Bennett wants to re-sign with the Florida Panthers...
