1. Who do you get rid of on the UFA list on the NHL team?
-I think AK & Goose will be re-signed.
2. Who do you trade that is under contract on the NHL team?
-Weber will probably force Poile's hand with regard to a trade if Suter leaves.
3. What do you do with Suter?

>Brad Boyes
>Lee Stempniak
6. Wish of a starting line-up for game 1?
...
7. Do you give up another 1st round pick at deadline?
-Only if Poile has multiple first round picks in hand which is entirely possible if certain assets are dealt during the off-season trade.
8. What do you do with Trotz if the team is 10th in the western conf at the trade deadline?
-Trotz will likely be the coach for another decade.
9. What do you do if above is true and Weber is not signed?
-If Weber is not re-signed this summer, then the writing is on the wall with regard to his eventual trade -- this off-season will result in better return.
10. What are your expectations of the Preds in 2012-2013.
-Reg season may not be as good, but the team could surprise in the playoffs (a la Coyotes). The team culture has matured likely to the point whereby a second round victory is due.
