So Now Who Do We Trade, Sign And Let Go?

Going to be tough to get Suter. I think Lidstrom retires and Detroit rolls out the welcome mat and he lands in the motor city. Your team doesn't have many if any top tier prospects... Jensen is a good prospect, but I thought the knock on him was his defensive play or lack of. Kassian is a nice prospect, but isn't ready for prime time.

Ballard and Lou, the former is washed up and the latter is on the downside of his career with a silly contract, and I don't see anybody wanting them. Schneider isn't worth what many here think he is but let's see what Gillis will do this summer, if he is still around that is.

If a team wants Scheider just offer him a sheet and make Gillis sign him. I wouldn't offer more than 3 million (since he hasn't proven anything and doesn't deserve it) so compensation is a 2nd rounder....

Simple question. We're right up against the Cap and here's a list of the UFA's we have next season:

Pahlsson - $2.65 million, will most likely take a big cut

Bitz - $700K

Volpatti - $612K

Ebbett - $525K, will probably want more

Salo - $2 million

Rome - $750K

Reinprecht - $2.05 million

Pinnizotto - $600K

Mancari - $525K

Here's a list of the RFA's:

Raymond - $2.55 million, should take a cut

Weise - $605K, will probably want more

Gragnani - $550K

Duco - $550K

Lack - $900K

Parent - $925K

Oreskovich $605K

Schneider - $900K, will want a lot more

Here's a list of our players with a No Trade Clause:

Sedins

Kesler

Malhotra (unfortunately)

Bieksa

Hamhuis

Salo

Luongo

So for next season, who do you want the Canucks to let walk to another team and who do you want traded?

Personally I want us to sign Volpatti, Bitz, Pahlsson, Ebbett, Pinnizotto, Rome, Weise, Duco, Gragnani and Lack.

Let Reinprecht, Salo (retire), Mancari, Parent, Oreskovich (maybe sign for the AHL only) and Raymond walk.

Trade Schneider for a big, physical top-4 defenceman.

Trade Tanev when his stock is high for an skillfull, small, fast top-6 forward.

Trade Ballard for picks or preferably a big physical depth defenceman.

Trade Raymond's rights for whatever its worth.

OP - I agree with most of your thoughts. Except:

1) Salo. I think he has another year in him.

2) Tanev. I don't think his stock is as high as you suggest, and we do not need a small, fast top 6 forward. We have that in Raymond and he's useless.

This team needs to get bigger and more talented on our top scoring and defensive lines.

Since we are all in a mode of crazy speculation and it's fun, I'm gonna say:

Trade Luongo and Ballard, let some guys walk, etc. and trade for Nash and Weber.

Daniel - Henrik - Burrows

Booth - Kesler - Nash

Higgins - Pahlsson - Hansen

Bitz - Lapierre - Kassian

Volpatti - Ebbett - Pinizzotto

Edler - Weber

Hamhuis - Bieksa

Gragnani - Tanev

Schneider

Lack

= third consecutive president's trophy and a deep run guaranteed.

Suter Hedman

Hamhuis Bieksa

Ballard Tanev

Luongo
