It's always fun to be playing this game with free agency lurking around. Plenty of work ahead for our Canucks. We'll definitely be in the market for a bottom 6 FWD and another defenceman. This is what I think our lineup will look like after our barrage of moves so far: 

 

Miller - Petey - Boeser

Pearson - Bo - Garland

Hoglander - Dickinson - Podkolzin

Motte - Sutter - Lockwood

 

Hughes - Myers 

Ekman Larsson - Ceci

Juolevi - Rathbone

 

Demko

FA(Mrazek, Jones, Reimer) 

 

Extra: Highmore, Bailey

 

We're probably going to be in the market for a RHD. Currently, we only have Myers. There's a chance we may re-sign Hamonic but who knows. Schmidt could play the right side but personally, I think he's better on the left. I threw Rathbone on the right side because I really believe he has the potential to flourish there considering our depth in the left side. We also could use another center who can play in our bottom 6 and can kill penalties with Beagle gone. Hopefully we can get a guy like Turris if he's out in the market. We can also re-sign Sutter for say 1-2 year deal with $1.5-2 million AAV. The off-season is getting intense and I'm getting very excited

Oh okay. Thank you. I changed my projected lineup. I didn't know he signed elsewhere. He was pretty good for us late last season and deserved a extended look this upcoming season. Looks like we'll have to find another bottom 6 FWD. Maybe trading for a guy like Kerfoot would be nice

Any time. Schmidt might be gone by the end of day too, and Pettersson is going to be poached with an offersheet supposedly....:lol:

switch Pearson and Hogs and we have to assume were bringing in a defenseman or 2 like Schenn or Hamonic for toughness and grit

Yep, Schmidt will be gone any minute now.

I confirm... it is true... any minute AS WE SPEAK... don't go away as our Schmidt trade thread refreshes every minute... word in the streets is that we will very likely get a pick or two back!! 3-4 teams have been circling back in the last hour or so...
