It's in the best interests of the team to be selling pending UFAs that we don't see returning next year. Guys like Matthias are going to command way too much, and if we don't expect to be making a deep run, is there a point in keeping him around? Depending on what Richardson wants, I'd consider dangling him around and hoping you could get a 2nd and a 3rd for the two of them at the deadline (or something around there).

Ownership would never go for that though, so I'm sure we'll be buying minor pieces or standing pat.

Stand pat or sell..

Right now we are lined up with the LA Kings for the playoffs and to that I say get out the brooms because they have our number.

Sell while the stock is high is what Im saying but the owners are telling Benning to give it all hes got to go deep so they can put more money in their pockets after this years attendance issues.

The nucks want to make the playoffs so Benning, won't be looking to sell unless there is some deal to good to pass by, nor will he want to add unless its on the very cheap.

I could see one of bottom six D moving and there is still some speculation about Kassian, but the return on him would have to pretty decent for Benning to move him.

I'd try and move Higgins and Richie, as well as some of the RFA's that might have some value. I'd keep Corrado, Tanev, Kenins and Sbisa (unless someone makes a very good offer) but all of the others would be fair game.

I'd also try and move a goalie...

Maybe let go of Richardson and Higgins. I would like to see how Markstrom would do in a backup roll but that will probably be a draft decision who they decide to trade off.

Need Mathias's size going forward and he has been decent for the Canucks this year..

too many injuries to be sellers

They should be in the playoffs... you don't become "sellers".

SELL its one of the deepest drafts accumulating as many 2nd 3rd rounders adds up. There are some potential stud d-men the 2nd 3rd rounds and a lot of good forwards. SELL

Richardson ( 3rd/2nd )

Higgins ( 2nd/5th 2015)

Weber ( 4th 2015 )

Matthais ( Should get a 2nd 2015 and a 3rd 2016 )
