08:39 AM ET 01.27 | Now two years removed from his breakout start to the 2009-10 when he scored 17 goals in 41 games, Mason Raymond is drawing a different kind of attention. [Raymond] is as fast as a pit crew, and as tireless, too. He's fearless enough and patient enough to rally and return to the National Hockey League from a broken back. ... He's 26 years old and a former 25-goal scorer. He's mature and well-liked, not only in the Vancouver Canucks locker-room but in the management offices at Rogers Arena, where the "speed kills" motto is so deeply entrenched it shouldn't surprise anyone if it was said every time someone shook GM Mike Gillis' hand. What Mason Raymond is not, is producing. And that could mean his days in Vancouver are numbered.

I don't watch a ton of the Nucks games, but at one point he was on the 2nd line and 2nd PP unit. I do not recall if he was on PK

I defer to the expert opinion of that most ardent of Canuck fans: Mr. Hank!

No Hank yet! I hope he is ok as his insights add so much.
I do know that these kind of threads are tough for him. On the one hand if he say Raymond is getting screwed by the Canucks he is kind of supporting the Player and if he sides with the idea that Raymond sucks and should be traded it means he agrees with management.
