PHILADELPHIA -- The Canucks say they are happy picking sixth in the NHL draft as it stands now but that hasnt stopped new GM Jim Benning from making calls. "We think at six were going to get a real good player that we like, but up until (Friday) when the draft starts well keep inquiring and seeing what it takes to move up and if weve got the assets to make it happen," Benning said Thursday on the eve of the draft. Benning has a major asset to dangle in the form of centre Ryan Kesler. "Were talking to teams, but at the end of the day were going to do what makes sense to us and to try to help Ryan out," Benning said. "If we dont think we can get a fair deal for him, then were going to keep him and hes a Vancouver Canuck. And were happy to have him back because hes a great player." Kesler has reportedly given the Canucks a list of potential teams he would join, with some suggesting that list is growing shorter. Benning says dealing with a smaller pool of potential trade partners is more difficult but "that is what it is." "Were talking to the agent on a daily basis and were talking to teams and were hoping to figure something out thats hes happy with and were happy with." Kesler had 25 goals and 18 assists in 77 games last season. "If were going to go down that path, we want to try to get NHL-calibre players back to help with that," Benning said of losing Keslers offence. Asked about looking for a veteran goalie, Benning said: "Were going to look at all of our options on that." "Weve said before were happy with the progress that Eddie (Lack) made last year. But as free agency comes up, were going to look at options and then if it makes sense for us, well do that." The Canucks also have Jacob Markstrom in goal. Benning said he is not hung up about trades within his own conference. "I dont think that has any bearing on what were trying to do in Vancouver," he said. "We want to try to get some younger players here this next few years going forward. We have (forward) Bo Horvat who we drafted last year and were going to have the sixth pick this year. So were getting some building blocks."

Connor Brown Jersey . -- The Chicago Bears say they have agreed to a one-year contract with centre Roberto Garza.Shane Warne says Australias selectors got their team line-up wrong for the World Twenty20. Steve Smiths team were knocked out by India in a must-win showdown in Mohali on Sunday, leaving their hopes of winning a first World T20 trophy once again in tatters.Sky Sports expert Warne says the Aussies should have kept Aaron Finch and David Warner together at the top of the order, with Usman Khawja coming in at No 3. First of all, our selection was wrong in my opinion, Warne told Cricket Australias official website.I dont think we got that right, we messed around with it too much rather than sticking with whats been a proven formula and we probably didnt play well enough, which is the brutal truth.I know Khawaja was in unbelievable form and had to play but I would have batted him at No 3. I dont think they should have broken up Finch and Warner and I think it upset the balance of the team. Aaron Finch should not have been dropped, says Warne Those two guys had been batting together for a long time, they have done well in Twenty20, theyve done well in one-day cricket, and suddenly they got spilt up.And I just would never, ever have left Aaron Finch out. Even if he missed out in a few games, I think that Finch-Waarner partnership, its an intimidatory factor before a ball was bowled and people would have worried about Finch and Warner.ddddddddddddIts not to say they didnt worry about Khawaja, but I just think the other two are more destructive. John Hastings should have played against India, says Warne Warne also believes Australia should have picked Durham all-rounder John Hastings - an expert death bowler - instead of Josh Hazlewood in their final two games.Australia got a bit too funky with their selections, Warne said. I think John Hastings was picked in the squad as a specialist to bowl at the end but he got dropped for the game he should have played at the end (against India).To me, (Josh) Hazlewood is a guy that is a beautiful Test bowler, and its not that he cant bowl in these forms of the game, but I just think Hastings is a better option in a Twenty20 game because of his yorkers - we saw him in the Big Bash bowl his yorkers - hes just about the best we have.
