What a whale of a time this would've been.
Vancouver general manager Jim Benning said the Canucks wanted to send their mascot, "Fin," to represent them at the NHL Draft Lottery in Toronto on Saturday, but the league said no, per Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
Benning ended up making the trip, and the Canucks fell to seventh overall.
