Thoughts in Canucks potentially helping Boston with their Backes contract (yes, assuming Backes agrees). This looks like the type of salary dump that would be good for #canucks to take with assets from Boston. Plus Backes would give them that center and protection for Pettersson.

Do you foresee the Canucks "weaponizing their cap space" and adding assets that way?
— Leo Kang (@omgTACOSFTW) June 17, 2018
In my latest for @TheAthleticVAN, I look at some ways the #Canucks can weaponize their cap space, their way. Let's look at a couple of ways the Canucks can take advantage of other teams' bad cap situations:https://t.co/Hn72wfvPnT

the closer it gets to the draft, is Benning less like to trade the 7th pick?

If any of Sandin, Miller, or Tychonick are available at 37, who would you choose and why? If none of them then who?

Should canucks trade for ho sang ? How long would he last before Lou trades him?
— mike higashi (@hirokidude) June 17, 2018
Any idea/guess/rumblings on who has piqued #Canucks interest leading up to the draft, other than the Dobson report a few weeks ago? 2 years ago we heard about Dubois/Juolevi, last year we heard about Glass, Makar, and Elias. Haven't heard a lot this time around. Thanks, JD.

What kind of additional piece would you be willing to expend to trade up from 7 to whichever of 3/4/5/6 to take say, Hughes? Or, is there another player you feel any kind of trade up would be worth?
— Kevin Lanthier (@k_lanthier) June 17, 2018
Think the Canucks stick to their “speed and skill” mantra again this year? Definitely seemed like they valued upside/ceiling over certainty/floor. Really makes me wonder where they have Brady Tkachuk on their list.
— Tristan A. (@tristan_vncvr) June 17, 2018
And question 2 – Should one of Zadina or Tkachuk fall out of that top 4 and somehow make it to the Canucks.. couldn’t you see someone trying to trade up and blow the Canucks’ socks off to do so? What would be asking for if you were Jimbo?
— Tristan A. (@tristan_vncvr) June 17, 2018
Could you see Kevin Hayes as a player the Canucks might have interest in?
— Brody (@BradenHalabiski) June 17, 2018
Hey J.D. IMO Hughes, Dobson, Wahlstrom will all be gone by 7. Nucks choice between Bouchard, Boqvist, Tkachuck, Kotkaniemi, Smith. Who do u choose? and if Hanafin straight up for 7 is an option do you do that rather than picking?
— Daryl Penner (@Shaester34) June 17, 2018
Does the Montreal/Arizona trader indicate there will be a lot of trades leading up to the draft ?
— Joe Salas (@Ic3D3mon) June 17, 2018
Recently Bob McKenzie tweeted about the possibility of Zadina falling out of the top five. Do you think he has a legitimate of falling to the Canucks at 7?
— Tylered AF (@T_Var95) June 17, 2018
Mckenzie recently stated on the radio that multiple scouts he polled had Zadina falling out of the top 5 (thanks to Kotkeniemi and multiple d-men (ex. Dobson) pushing him out). If that happens does he make it past Wings at 6? Does Van take him at 7? What is his potential?
— Matthew Parmar (@MatthewParmar) June 17, 2018
Kotnekami of walstrom? Dobson or Bouchard? Hughes or boqvist?
— jackson (@JacksonCanucks) June 17, 2018
Let’s assume dahlin, svechy, Zadina, Hughes, tkachuk, Wahlstrom go in that order. Now realistically it’s between Dobson, Bouchard and potentially boqvist, knowing Canucks need D. Let’s weigh out the options assuming tryamkin makes a comeback, juolevi and stecher to improve.

How would Hughes be ranked if he was drafted at the time of some previous drafts?

What is the likelihood given the unpredictability of picks of 3-11 or so the Canucks wind up picking a D man ? If not a D who’s your best guess forward ?

Who is your dark horse late round pick at the draft?
— Jimmy Fung (@Psisous) June 18, 2018
Seems Montreal will take jesper or possibly a D, is it realistic that arizona will take Brady even with mediocre anylitics? And if so with detroit and ottawa wanting a D or possibly Whalstrom could Zadina actually fall to canucks? Or is that just crazy
— Geoffrey shimmin (@GeoffLShimmin) June 18, 2018
Sautner played great down the stretch for the Canucks, do you see him making the team out of camp next year?
— Jimmy Fung (@Psisous) June 18, 2018
Wahlstrom or Hughes if both available at 7?!

If Canucks trade down a few picks and take Ty Smith plus, would you be a fan of this type of move?

Montreal seems to be the wild card this draft. predictions on what they end up doing ?

Do we know if the Canucks interviewed Ryan Merkley at the combine?

Does the Canucks need a forward more than a defenceman? Via this draft in the first round
— The Real PC (@PeterKTC) June 18, 2018
I heard a rumour that the Rangers might be interested in Tkachuk. If he falls to the nucks, could you envision the canucks trading back a couple picks and if so, what’s your price? One of their later 1sts would be a dream
— Scott MacDonald (@Scott995) June 18, 2018
What do YOU consider a bust? Never playing in the league vs. not living up to your draft position? I find NHL and NFL fans very much at opposites about this.

Do you believe the Washington Capitals winning the Stanley cup has a positive, or a negative effect on the future of Olympic participation. With Ovi and Leonsis being very pro olympics, there must be a level of retrospect on how the olympics could have hindered the cup run.

Late submission, but do you think the oilers would trade their 1st round pick for elder? They need D, and they want to win now
