This seems really odd as Futa would be one of the main candidates to replace Benning as Gm if he was canned. Friedman is reporting tho that Benning is the one that has made contact with Futa. Would it be for Chief Amateur Scouting to replace Judd ? Maybe Benning is moving up to Trevors old job as as President and Futa would be GM ?
Futa has a very impressive resume. He was given a lot of credit for helping build the Kings 2x cup teams.
He was head of scouting when they drafted the likes of Doughty Brayden Schenn , Voynov Tofolli .Pearson Alec Martinez, Simmonds ,Erik Cernak etc.
Other roles he has had with LA
Assisstsnt GM
VP hockey Ops
Director of Player Personel
Director of Amateur Scouting
GM in OHL
Named OHL exec of the year in 2005

10. There’ve been reports the Canucks have talked to former Los Angeles assistant GM Michael Futa. He works with Sportsnet now, so it’s not something I’m really comfortable talking about, but I don’t believe these conversations are new. There was contact several months ago with GM Jim Benning, but nothing available.
