1.) The first part may well happen, but not the second.

2.) The first part (likely) won't happen, As to the second, the Canucks could do worse.

3.) I doubt Benn gets traded, but perhaps the others might find a new home.

4.) Jagr hasn't scored in 17 playoff games he's played this year. I'm not sure that he's the answer. Also, even with his lack of playoff production so far this season, he may well be able to get more than what you are suggesting the Canucks could sign him.

5.) The scouting isn't doing that bad a job. Since 2008 (Hodgson) which was Gillis' first year, the picks have been quite good, I'd agree that drafting more talent with size might have been a good way to go, but the picks have been solid.

If you want to get into "WCS", I would suggest that there are lots of teams which picked after the Canucks, who would have taken the Canucks' picks had those guys been available when their turn came up.

6.) I don't see any of #6 happening.

7.) Just curious, who do you believe will be willing to trade a pick for Roy's rights?

An argument has been made that Calgary might put in an offer on Raymond, in hopes of working some kind of "hometown discount" deal with him, but who else do you believe would make an offer?

And why wouldn't anyone just wait for Weise (RFA) or Alberts to hit the open market? I like these guys, but I don't see them being in huge demand.

8.) I've seen worse suggestions than signing these guys. I suspect that some (eg. Benn) could well stay with their current team(s).

9.) Why would the Wings trade their 1st (18th overall) for Booth? I think Booth is a good player, but he is damaged goods. I do see a good chance for him to be moved, but I suspect it won't happen at this year's draft.

10.) Trade Ballard for a NYI 2nd in which year? They don't have one in 2013 (traded). I do see Ballard getting traded at some point.

11.) I suspect that you are correct in that a number of the younger players will see ice time at the NHL level. How ice time they see is the question. If you are suggesting that Lapierre is re-signed, that leaves him in competition for ice time with Schroeder, Gaunce amd Lain (plus anyone else who is brought in).

12.) I support the idea of drafting more size, in principle. What about BPA? If you could pick a small, very talented forward who can score and set up his team mates, do you pass him by for someone bigger, but perhaps a touch less skilled?

RNH was taken first. You're Colorado. Do you take Landeskog or Huberdeau? There are a number of factors to support taking one over the other.

13.) .... Don't see the initial trades happening which would allow you to get to this point.

14.) Did you do a check on http://capgeek.com/canucks/ to see if those guys can all fit under the cap? At first glance it looks a bit tight.

regards,

G.

I'll make a couple of predictions:

1. Another team (besides NYR) will sign a coach before we do.

2. We won't make a draft day deal as that requires quick thinking and we take obscene amounts of time to make any decisions.

3. Luongo will bring back nothing more than a 2nd round draft pick and maybe a 3rd line player.

4. Schneider will have a good year but will not be a top 5 goalie in the league.

5. The Sedins will have a great season (assuming we don't get a trap style defensive coach).
