I like your optimism.

Sedins Burrows

Kassian Kesler Jensen

Higgins Gaunce Hansen

Volpatti Lappy Pinizotto

Manny can walk. Dump Ballard. That does free up money for Weber for sure if possible.

Doan is not for sure yet. Booth might stick yet.

Jensen is a wild card too.

Gaunce in 1 or 2 years, will most likely not be ready. Unless he is the next tyler seguin. That third line center spot is key.

Maybe Schroder can step up. Maybe a trade.

Ah to dream. Too early yet. too many ifs. Prospects need to pan out.

Daniel Sedin-Henrik Sedin-Alex Burrows

David Booth-Ryan Kesler-Nathan Horton

Nicklas Jensen-Jordan Schroeder-Jannik Hansen

Matt Hendricks-Joseph Labate-Zack Kassian

With Gaunce and Rodin challenging for spots. Kassian could move up the depth chart depending on his development.

Dan Hamhuis-Kevin Bieksa

Alex Edler-Jason Garrison

Kevin Connauton-Chris Tanev

With Corrado & Sauve challenging for spots.

Cory Schneider

Eddie Lack

A lot can change in two years, but to me this seems realistic with a couple of UFA signings next year and developing a few prospects from within the system.

Sedin - Sedin - Burrows

Booth - Kesler - Jensen

Hansen - Schroeder - Kassian

Pinizotto - Lapierre - Someone tough but with some touch like Bitz

Gaunce will be in there as well or will be full time the season after.

Hamhuis - Bieksa

Edler - Garrison

Sauve - Tanev

Connauton - Corrado (Bottom 4 interchangeable)

Schneider

Lack

This is planned out with who we have now. I didnt factor in any big signings as they are not easy to predict so this is based solely off people currently with the Canucks

(With proper development)

Twins - Kassian

Burrows - Kesler - Jensen

Higgins - Gaunce - Hansen

Friesen - Lapierre - Weise

Pinizzotto, Rodin/ LaBate? Grenier? *Booth

Manny should be gone, same with May Ray and Volpatti (hopefully); with the re-signings needed as soon as next season, I'm not sure someone like Booth gets to stay around if he under-performs

Hamhuis - Bieksa

Edler - Garrison

Connauton - Tanev

Corrado, Sauve

Ballard could get priced out

Schneider

_______ (Lack?)

People keep taking Burrows off the 1st line because you dont often see top lines with three 33 year olds playing together.

I am a huge Burrows fan, he is my favourite Canuck, but even I know he wont be as effective a scorer in 2 years time. Thats not to say he wont be as effective a player, because I think he will be. I think he'll either be on our 2nd or 3rd line by then.

I do think the Sedins will still be first line players in 2 years however. Maybe not in 4, but definetly still in another 2. The way they play together, the chemistry they have, and the way they are able to control the game, makes them very different from other players. Id love to see a Jensen on Kassian with them on that top line.

Like Suolucidir said, the Sedins are probally going to be top line plays for another 3-5 years in my opinion. The reason for this is so much of their game is based upon their vision, hockey sense, and passing. They have never been super fast or physical players and its speed that is always the first thing to leave ageing players. I can see burrows being placed in a reduced role 3 years from now.. but not the sedins.
