NHL, Vancouver Canucks: Has Benning been resigned? Do I care? And why I WILL NOT pay a dime of Louis Erikson's salary

Come home and save us from our selves! No, it isn't the real estate thing we're worried about, although should you feel the desire to break the knees of any multi-generational residents (If you can call living in a fridge box under the Georgia st. viaduct being a resident, HAHAHA! I knew you'd like that one) The transplanting and displacement of the cities population i...
