Canucks fined $50K for GM comments

[Jasmine]

The NHL has slapped the Vancouver Canucks organization with a $50,000 US fine for violating NHL by-law 15 – which deals with tampering – the league announced on Tuesday.

"Canucks general manager Jim Benning violated the provisions of NHL by-law 15 relating to inappropriate public comments by speaking generally to his club's potential interest in players under contract to other NHL clubs," NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said in a statement.

Yeah, he said on a radio show that they would "love to add Stamkos" and had been "in talks for Subban". Honestly.. Benning has been a pretty horrible GM so far in my opinion.
