Which prospect is everybody sleeping on in this years Draft?
Also, Is there a specific prospect in the 2nd round that the Canucks should hope he is available,
that is increasing your expectations?

Do you ever look back in your past work on the NHL Drafts,
and try to study on what you feel you got right,
and what you feel you got right or wrong, and try to adjust your formula in future drafts?

What is your opinion on Philip Broberg who is all the crave due to his strong U18 performance this season?
Do you had to choose, would you pick Philip over Soderstrom, or just draft the best forward and be done with it?

1. What picks do you see as locks for the top9? For instance, many have Hughes, Kakko, Byram, Turcotte,
Cozens and Dach going before the Canucks' pick. Do you see this as being correct?

2. Do you foresee Podkolzin dropping out of the top9 due to a lack of production?

3. How do you evaluate Krebs's production given the weakness of his team?

4. Do you prefer the top players coming out of the USHL and Europe more than you do the CHL this year? If so, why?

5. If you had to rank these three, how would it go.
Zegras, Boldy and Krebs.

7. Your thoughts on Heinola and the numbers he has put up this year? Is he the 2nd best dman available?

8. Any inclinations on what the Canucks might do?

3. The Canucks are rumoured to be high on Soderstrom. How much truth is there to that? Is there anyone else the Canucks are linked to?

1. Where is the biggest drop-off in talent in the 1st round draft?

2. Are the 2nd tier of defenseman really a step behind in terms of ability of the USHL forward prospects? ex. Soderstrom, Broberg, Heinola

4. What are your thoughts on Alex Newhook?

What do you value more when looking at prospects; their production at their current team or their tools?

What is the toughest part about comparing leagues when trying to compare how players are playing from around the world?

5. How far away is Podkolzin from the NHL? If he's two years away then there should be no problem waiting for him to play out the rest of his KHL contract.

7. Benning has emphasized that the draft is in Vancouver all year and how important it is for the fans.
Do you feel like Benning is going to make a splash at the draft?

8. Many people believe that it is a make or break season for Benning. Do you believe this will impact any of his drafting decisions?
Ex. take a more NHL ready prospect rather than a project

9. Which region of scouting is the weakest among for the Canucks? Do you feel they've made any adjustments or changes to fix this?

10. Drafting is considered to be a great strength of the organization now. How do you feel the Canucks rank among the NHL organizations in terms of drafting?

Prospects seasons can include the regular season, the playoffs, and international tournaments.

Kaliev had an excellent regular season and a mediocre playoffs.
Lavoie had a mediocre regular season and an excellent playoffs.
Krebs had a mediocre season until his U18 Worlds, which was excellent.

My question is, as a scout, do you give more weight to the performance in one of these categories over the others?

RYAN-who in the draft besides Hughes and Kakko are the most NHL ready do you think.

Here are the questions asked for Ryan, Both are prospect media talents, I think I will ask a lot of questions that are similar to both.

Cam will talk your ear off. Enjoy.

If anyone wants some meat to chew on to help come up with questions. Here's my interview with him.

Agree or Disagree:The Podcast-Hockey Edition Part 2-Cam Robinson

Cam, you have speculated that you think the Canucks go for a speedy forward. If the speed based forwards are gone by the 10th pick, which dman do you think they would be looking at?
