Cup - we have a really good team this year, and really have what it takes.

2nd place - asking for 3 straight Presidents Trophies is just crazy. I still think we can be 2nd, and at worst top 4 (in the league)

Jensen - I think he's our top prospect. Surprised he's not on here to be honest.

I voted the cup because we are stacked, we have been for a while and we only get better. I say finish 5th because realistically theres no way we finish top in the league 3 years in a row, it's just not likely.

I imagine Kesler gets back early December and we have to make up ground but eventually get into our groove and make a playoff spot relatively comfortably

Because of the void Kesler will leave i guess we'll struggle even morw during October-November than usual. Tjerefore we'll have a hard time getting the presidents trophy this season, and i think will be eliminated in the conference finals and end 3rd in the conference and 5th in the league.

And you didn't mention me favourite/the most exiting proapect from my pov, Jensen. I think he'll become a excellent top-6 forward avereging 60-75 poonts per seaon with his great skating ability and above average skill set and strength!

All things being as they are today and presuming that the Canucks remain injury-free, here are my uneducated predictions for the Canucks in 2012-2013:

NW Division champs / third seed in the Western Conference / WC Finalist, losing to LA Kings who I think will repeat as the SC champs (they are too deep, big, talented, and Quick looks to only get better).

Comeback years: Henrik & Daniel (90-95 points each); Edler (very good in regular season and even better in playoffs); Malhotra; Ballard (I have this feeling that Ballard is finally 100% healthy and will be able to do all the things he did prior to coming to the Canucks).

Break out years: Schneider (only to show that he can sustain his play over the entire season with heavy workload and into the playoffs); Kassian (15G/25A).

I also think the players playing for contracts will have better seasons than they did in 2011-2012 (i.e., Burrows/Malhotra/Raymond/Higgins/Lapierre/Edler).

Addendum: In another post I stated that Malhotra's 2011-2012 season may be the new norm for him, but I am a big Malhotra fan and hope that he can regain his form that made him so valuable in 2010-2011...so here's hoping he has a bounce-back year.
