Canucks Line Up Curious Prospect Dinner at NHL Combine

Vancouver is working the room at the NHL Combine, and this one sounds less like a formality and more like a deliberate read on a player the staff wants to know better. Dinner meetings at this stage are where teams dig past the stopwatch numbers and find out how a prospect thinks, talks, and handles pressure when nobody is handing him a script. The Canucks have a new head coach in Manny Malhotra, which only adds another layer to how they are evaluating the next wave of talent.
