1) In your opinion, will Elias Pettersson be in the same weight class as Jack Eichel/Auston Matthews/Patrick Laine one day? (You can include McDavid here if you want, but I think McDavid is untouchable and is an unattainable class of his own).

an honest assesment of the team going forward. And I actually mean honest.

Not really my business but I dont see how someone who continuously talks bad about CanucksArmy should get any question here.

How do you see Canucks goaltending progressing towards 2019-20 if Nilsson plays (way) better than Markström, and Demko continues to develop in Utica. What might be the future if Demko seems to stagnate or barely makes any progress?

What will the Canucks do when Gaudette proves he’s ready for a full type role but is being blocked by Beagle for 4 years and Sutter for 3? What happens if we draft another center like Hughes? Does Pettersson go wing? Would you rather have Leipsic or Goldobin in the starting roster?

Had an about 35 minute conversation with him at the pint a couple days ago, great guy.

The Canucks can make room for him. Someone can play wing, including Sutter. There can be trades. Sutter's full NTC ends this season.

If the Canucks draft Jack Hughes and the concern is who is going to play C, I don't think Sutter or Beagle's presence will matter all that much. You're not going to have Hughes, Pettersson, Horvat, and Gaudette down the middle long term. That's not ideal at all if the players come close to what we hope they become. Regardless, that would be a good problem to have.

Agreed, somebody will simply just have to move to the wing.

What biases does he find him self holding, when it comes to evaluating prospects, and what does he do to adjust his evaluations knowing said biases?
