Report: NHL expected to discipline Jim Benning for comments.

It's not official but it sounds like Canucks general manager Jim Benning will be disciplined by the National Hockey League.

According to a report from Jason Botchford of the Vancouver Province, the feeling on the floor of the 2016 National Hockey League Entry Draft is that Benning will face some form of fine from the NHL.

While this is by no means an official statement from the league, during an interview with Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman on the live draft broadcast Benning acknowledged that he had been admonished by the league for his comments on Thursday.

If you missed the comments that landed him in hot water you can find them here.
