Benning, the Canucks’ general manager, has been either chasing, or thinking about chasing, Lucic for a year. Could the Canucks still land Lucic, blowing him away with an offer he couldn’t refuse? At least 10 clubs have already called to express interest in Lucic, who was in Edmonton Tuesday. If not Lucic, the Canucks are expected to go hard after Loui Eriksson and work their way down the free agent tree from there. If Lucic does spurn his hometown to sign with the Oilers, many believe it’s more about the team than the city.
