6. Out of all the Canuck prospects who have a chance of turning pro next season, and possibly playing for the Moose next year, who are you most excited about? Brett - Winnipeg, MB
I think it's difficult to narrow it down to one player because sometimes expectations exceed development. I think next year, the Canucks have a good crop of young players coming in, probably the biggest and the brightest that they've had in their time here, but we've had success. Guys have developed: Nathan McIver's developed, Mike Brown's developed, Jannik Hansen's developed. It's up to them to a certain point. They have some decent guys coming next year: Mason Raymond, the kid that plays in Brandon (Simak), maybe Luc Bourdon, Daniel Rahimi, who we might possibly see at the end of the year. I think they have a good crop of prospects, but there's not one guy in particular. They have Corey Schneider coming in from Boston College, which is a high-profile prospect. But I think you've got to be careful not to put too much expectations and see where guys play out.
Interesting answers, he is expecting Raymond and Schneider to turn pro next year.............
