  1. A player who was plus 1 was the sole reason we lost?

    Anton Rodin | RW/LW

    I agree would rather give Jensen or Grenier a chance at making the team over Rodin. That being said I wouldn't be upset to see him at camp on something like a PTO.
  3. Prust Has never played Center full time in the NHL in his 7 year career he only has 287 faceoffs, Vey had 502 last season and he spent time on the wing. If Virtanen is going to make this team we will have to move a vet out.
  4. Prust doesn't play center I don't know where these guys are getting that from. He takes about the same amount of faceoffs as Chris Higgins. I don't really think Jake will need a player like Lucic to babysit him he's a big boy and will be able to take care of him self.
  5. Well you are most likely right about when he will be effective some things you have to consider are that we only have 2 years from his draft to sign him or he becomes a UFA and that he will be 21 in 3 weeks. We need to sign him at the end of this season or we will lose him. It would mean he starts in the AHL at 22 and would likely play 2 - 3 seasons there.
  6. He had more points then Burrows who had time with the Sedins and if Burrows wasn't with the Sedins he was playing right wing on the second line, I'm not convinced Kassian could have played consistently well with the Sedins. Baertschi only joined the team at the trade deadline and he hadn't done anything to that point which showed he deserved a regular spot in the NHL let alone being gifted a spot on the second line. But he has shown he that he is a much better player in our system than in Calgary's so he does have a good chance at earning that spot next year. And as for Matthias his career high points is the same as Higgins career high goals. For that month that Matthias was ripping it up Higgins was in the top 30 in left wingers for points. Last season Matthias showed that he is a streaky scorer who is good defensively but doesn't use his size. I don't see anything about him that makes him any better then Higgins.
  7. CHRIS HIGGINS WAS OUR SECOND BEST LEFT WINGER LAST YEAR PERIOD! Seriously why is it so hard for people to understand he was given that roll because there was no one better for it and until someone shows they are better then him he will keep it. Now maybe Baertschi will be better but until he proves it he will be behind Higgins on the depth chart. The only play that you listed that benefited from any favouritism was Vey.
  8. Canucks Sports & Entertainment own the Utica Comets http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utica_Comets
  9. in my books hes still a prospect until he plays at least 1 full season in the NHL so next year maybe
  10. Honestly what I saw from Kassian tonight is exactly the kind of play I expected from him. Based on his Junior numbers I don't think he is the crash the net and score goals kind of guy I think he's more battle hard along the boards and get the puck to the slot kind of guy. Which to me means he will be a great winger for Kesler, if we don't trade Kesler.
