Wake With Elias: Are Michael DiPietro’s days as a Canuck numbered?

The Jim Benning regime screwed a lot of things up.

Way down the list of their screw-ups? Their handling of Michael DiPietro.

His development has been thrust into the spotlight this week after a report from CHEK TV’s Rick Dhaliwal that the Canucks are looking to move their 2017 3rd round pick.

He mentioned that the Canucks are looking to move him by next week.

DiPietro’s butchered development has been well-documented, but it’s another poop stain for the Benning regime. There’s still promise with the young goaltender, but he’s become expendable with the emergence of a younger Arturs Silovs.
