A six-year deal will carry Garland until he's 36. He was set to be an unrestricted free agent after his current contract expired. 'Thank you Jim' was first voiced by former Sportsnet 650 host James Cybulski who tried to rally some support towards Benning early in the disastrous 2020-21 season, saying that while the Canucks under Benning had often struggled, his efforts hadn't been all bad. Benning was fired as Canucks GM in December 2021. It's since been deployed in many ways by Canucks fans, first sarcastically in reaction to Cybulski's upbeat efforts, more playfully in more recent years. pjohnston@ Read More Vancouver Canucks Vancouver Canucks NHL Vancouver Canucks Local News
