Anybody that has Hansen on the top 2 lines for next year hasn't watched him play. I've seen pleanty of Moose games this year, and this kid is not ready to play big time minutes in the big leagues. He's capable, he's good, he shows time where he looks like he can be great but he really isn't ready.

If he gets 3rd or 4th line minutes playing with Linden I'd be happy. I don't want a spot with the Sedins wasted on a developing prospect where they need a cup before Luongos contract ends.

I can see both Raymond and Hansen playing 3rd or 4th line, while Edler will fill out our defence.

what i want is
Sedins Sedins Carter
Naslund Morrison Pyatt
Raymond Kesler (UFA player, Hansen or Grabner if he is ready)
Burrows Green Linden

and good to know that raymond is flexible on his position though!

The reason i have those lines is due to the recent signing of sami salo, carter will sure wants to come back and plays with the sedins.  He probably would not demand much, so we can most likely afford him.

Pyatt is not going to make the same mistake like carter did, he will sign for a reasonable raise

A team without Cowan is hardly a team at all.

Sedins Sedins Carter
Naslund Morrison Pyatt
Raymond Kesler (UFA player, Hansen or Grabner if he is ready)
Burrows Linden Cowan

How about this fourth line instead?

I'd like to see:

Sedin-Sedin-Pyatt
Cooke-Mo-Koltsov
Naslund-Kesler-Hansen
Burrows-Cowan/Linden-Linden/Cowan
Rypien

Ohlund-Sopel
Mitchell-Bieksa
Krajicek-Salo
Tremblay

Try Koltsov as a winger (speed, offensive, etc)
Have Edler and Bourdon on the Moose to develop

I like the idea of trying Koltsov on the wing, but he would have to spend sometime in the AHL to learn the position and that could be a problem.

Linden may or may not retire and that could take some teaking.

Maybe trade Krajicek for a high pick or an upgrade winger/center.

And make the #6 defence spot a dedicated training spot ,ie. Bourdon comes up for 5 games and then returns to the Moose and is replaced by Edler for 5games who then returns to the Moose and is replaced by Rahimi for 5 games (if he is close to ready for the NHL) then back to Bourdon for 5 games, etc.

This allows the defensive prospects to get the ice time they need in the AHL and to learn the speed of the NHL.

Just a few thoughts.

I wanna see Raymond and Hansen play on a line together for the rest of this year/playoffs and a quarter to a half of next year. At that point I'd call the both of 'em up together and put 'em on a line with Kesler. That'd work well as Kesler and Hansen had somethin' goin' last preseason.

Deadline is over but I think a 4th is the most we would get for him.

Next year's lines

Sedin Sedin Pyatt
Naslund UFA(Gomez hehe) Raymond or Hansen
Cooke Morrison Linden
Burrows Kesler Cowan

Ohlund-Koltsov
Bieksa-Mitchell
Salo-Edler
Krajicek

Luongo
Cheap Backup(or MaCintyre)

Grabner Simek(Maybe another year in the WHL) and Raymond or Hansen(which ever one doesnt crack the canucks roster) Bourdon Schneider Rahimi all go to Moose
EDIT:Where does Sopel go? I say we dont sign him

I actually like this idea kinda better than the one i posted for forwards

Whoops. Didn't really look at the D. I'd use Bieksa instead of Bourdon. Give him a year in the AHL. Use for callups. My bad on that 1.

Trade Krajicek.

So who would you want as the D pairing then?

I'd changed it in my post (though i suppose i should have bolded the change)

Wow I missed that !!!!!!!!!!!!

And Bourdon is playing in jr. and hopfully head to a few games in Vancouver in a thing called the memorial cup. So unavalible.

Koltsov is a playoff race in the RSL. Also unavalibe

And Kesler is injured. Again unavalible.

Now read this very carefully!!! The thread is prospects and the talk was about next years lines.

So I have to ask.

Have you been eating to many jelly beans out of your jar ????

[Dortmund]

To make Toxic's life easier here is a little playoff update for all that don't want to go through pages to find out


Simek

GP 2 G 1 A 1 +1 Brandon is up 3-1


Fuller

GP 4 G 1 A 4 +4 Prince George won 4-0

Grabner

GP 4 G 0 A 1 Even Spokane tied 2-2

Bliznak

GP 4 G 1 A 2 +2 Vancouver up 3-1


Bourdon

GP 4 G 0 A 3 +3 Cape won 4-0 most of Cape Breton's goals were scored on the Powerplay so his +3 doesn't do him justice as his partner is +3 but other Dmen are -1 on the team.




Russian Prospects were updated 2 pages back. So that's your junior report.

Koltsov will never come here unless he has a one way deal.

He will not accept playing in the AHL.

[AmazingNuck]

What about Rahimi? Is there any chance he could make the Canucks or the Moose next year?

[Grabner]

He will be for sure on the Moose next season, he might come over this season after his playoffs are over.

[VaNuCkZ]

Would you guys trade up in the Draft by trading Naslund if he waives his NTC?

In this draft???

Are you nuts???

And Naslund WILL play his final season, then we will go from there.

I like. But the defence doesn't really change.

We should try to cut down on the number of lineup projections in the Prospect thread.

Save it for other threads.

Well Bourdon should spend time in the AHL. Edler could probably be the 6th but I still think Krajicek is good. Our D have worked very well throughout the season. Koltsov should provide some more offense. Fitzhatrick's decent defensively, much better than Tremblay.

[Toxic]

Yes, Lineup projections are not needed here
