VANCOUVER — In snooker, it’s not the shot you make — it’s the one you leave.

Philip Holm, 25, has signed a one-year, show-us deal after a strong Swedish season and an appearance in the world championship. The Canucks need to go well beyond tire-kicking, and if Benning goes into sticker shock, there’s always room for negotiation. “It’s hard to find good defencemen, especially defencemen who are mobile and move the puck,” Benning told Postmedia earlier this week.
