Chiareilli joining another Canadian team?!

On Thursday night, NHL insider Pierre LeBrun dropped a bomb on Vancouver Canucks fans, reporting that the team was in talks with Peter Chiarelli about adding the former Edmonton Oilers general manager to their front office.

While there might be anguish in the fanbase, the move makes sense. Chiarelli and Canucks general manager Jim Benning worked together while with the Boston Bruins, winning a Stanley Cup in 2011 when they defeated the Canucks in seven games.

However, LeBrun also noted that Chiarelli is also talking to other NHL front offices, which could mean he could end elsewhere for the 2019-20 season.

Have been told that it's possible Peter Chiarelli winds up joining #Canucks in some capacity.

There's been some talk of Peter Chiarelli perhaps joining the Canucks front office under Jim Benning, both of whom worked together in Boston. They are indeed talking about that, however, Chiarelli is also talking to other NHL front offices...
