Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks: Ben Hutton in Spotlight for Limited Ice Time at Worlds Ben Hutton gets noticed when he doesn't play a single shift in Team Canada's 5-0 win over Slovakia at the World Championship on Saturday.

Thanks Carol!

Hopefully Hutton takes his icetime in stride and learns from the experience. It'll serve him well in the future.

I understand Bo purchased a condo in Vancouver #roots

Hutton may have played more hockey this year than any year in his life.

Bo is the next Captain. We will get back to the dance with Bo in control.

Stamkos is the next Captain. We will get back to the dance with Stammer in control.

You'd need to add our 1st round pick this year with Horvat to get Drouin. We don't need Drouin, just draft Tkachuk and keep Horvat.

Hooboy. Ok. Quick thoughts
Stamkos won't sign here.
Lucic won't sign for that term and definitely not
That rate.

Same with hamhuis.

Plus. Salary cap. And that D looks pretty thin in the depth department.

Other than that...I like the forward balance of players. 👍🏼

I can't say I'm a big fan of Lucic - I think he probably has a couple of decent years before a significant decline but he will want much better term and money than you indicate, so I would have to pass. That said, I wouldn't mind taking a look at Erikson, primarily to play with the Sedins (based on their past chemistry Internationally).

I"m also a big fan of Horvat (despite the pedigree of Drouin) who is going to take over the team at some point with his leadership skills and added maturity/experience when the time comes.

Higgins and Burrows will be a tough one to navigate, especially Burrows, who was and remains a fan favourite and still has some serviceability (although at some point I understand the need to move on - perhaps a buy-out at the end of next season?).

And I note you haven't included McCann in the line-up? Oversight or are you penciling him in for the AHL? or part of a Stamkos package? ( I know we are talking top of the line player but the term and money are worrisome - fortunately he's still quite young so the risk is probably worth it in the end, though).

I think keeping both Edler and Hamhuis is the way to go - we are simply too thin on defense to allow the luxury of moving either one of these players. Let's hope that Edler's over his injury woes and finally has a healthy season (yes, anyone have any magic beans? perhaps mushrooms then? )

Thus, overall, some interesting possibilities but I'd have to say, for the most part, I wouldn't make any of these moves

Bo is the next Captain. We will get back to the dance with Bo in control.

He's gonna draft and trade for better players too?

With the uncertain direction your team is going in, what actually makes you think you'll attract the top UFA's ?

Apart from maybe Lefty... but that's because I got me some wine from Lefty, and haven't had anything of the sort from you.... yet
