Phil_314 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Burr - Kesler - Hansen would be my second line. Energy, grit, strong two-way play and more importantly cohesion b/c they've played together earlier on in their careers. Twins - Booth Burr - Kes - Hansen Higgins - Lapierre - Raymond (chance for Mason to snipe or deke) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucks-4-Life Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Looking at Kassian's stats all the way back to Junior, it looks like he is more of a passer than a shooter. Would love to see him on the 2nd line: Sedin-Sedin-Burr Booth-Kesler-Kassian Higgins-Malhotra-Hansen Pinz-Lapierre-Weise Raymond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkin'2929 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Yes. Unfortunately, last season they were quite forgettable. Higgins is an intelligent hard worker. On the other hand, Booth and Kesler need to mature considerably if they even hope to reach mediocre, let alone the heights we all know they are capable of.

Bodee Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 This is the problem with our team, we have 2 AWESOME 3rd liners in Higgins and Hansen and that is where they should stay. They make our third line one of the best in the league, we need a true top 6 forward to play with Booth and Kesler if we want a serious chance at the cup. My proposal if they can't aquire much through trade or signings. Sedin-Sedin-Kassian - let them develop chemistry from the start, Kassian has the offensive ability and the grit they've been lacking forever Booth-Kesler-Burrows - solid line when everyone is healthy, can also be a very good physical shutdown line with Burr and Kes Higgins-Mueller-Hansen - skill and grit Pinnizotto-Lapierre-Weise - could be better but not too bad. That lineup has a lot more size then last years, and teams won't know what to do when they have Kassian crushing them every chance he has while the Sedins do what they do.
