short take on Sedin presser
We took time to make the decision to come back-
We wanted to be back in the organization-
We want to come in a do a good job-
Talked to Stan Smyl & Trevor Linden about it-
We have no game plan and we will just see where it goes.-
Our kids are OK with this. not so young now-
We aint looking for fame--
We care about this team and the people that work here-
We think we have a good understanding of the league and are up to date-
Swedish reporter not getting what he wants
to hear.. Sedins leaving things open-
Drance asks what will you bring---- We will make sure we bring our knowledge on preparation and what knowledge we have about the league.-
Try to help the young guys and what they'll need to do--
Wont directly answer if the Canucks have enough on their roster and they just said we know having watched so many other teams what it takes.
Benning says Ryan Johnson will be involved in Abbotsford-
We think analytics is very important--
Will try and help out with all the little things (prep work, diet, readiness, etc.-
Having the farm team so close seemed to have been a contributing factor in coming back-
Jim Benning- Hopes the Sedins can mentor the younger players; mentions the Swedish players.-
Sedins very interested in the scouting end of things..say hockey is so much faster then when we came in.-
Benning says he'll be real open minded about everything the twins have to say. They aren't so far removed from playing themselves-
Benning says he's talking to all the team and if we can improve the team we will !!!!
No update on Virtanen, says JB

Mick thinks there is nothing much more to this other than they miss the game plenty and want to be around it again..
