Danthecanucksfan Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Booth WILL be better after this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niloc009 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Depends how you define "better" Higgins is a better all around player. Can shut down opponents on the 3rd, or play spot duty on the 2nd. Booth is more dynamic offensively. Has the dangles and can power through opponents. Passing and defence are not his strong suits however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sedin's 6th Sense Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Higgins - harder worker, consistent Booth - more skilled, inconsistent ....Think right now, I'd have to say Higgins, but can't really have a right answer cause Booth only played like half a season with us, hopefully he's gotten the flow of things now. Both are effective players though without a doubt when on their game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksSayEh Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Booth is much more of an impact player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanEberle Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Booth is more offensively gifted but higgy is my boy, and a key piece to this team. The guy is a forechecking beast. They are two of my favorite players and I think they both deserve more from the fans then they get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biasbieksa Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Booth has the potential with the big body. Higgins right now. Hes got a shot, sneaky hands, solid on his feet, and most importantly. he is smart. Watch the replay. Higgins sitting on the bench, finding hamhuis. What a great play that was.

Jägermeister Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Booth has more skill. Higgins has more heart. I think Booth is a better player, but Higgins is better at playing the role he is given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 David Booth will become a better player offensively. It was his first season with the Canucks, getting used to the system everything in the first year. He will have a comeback year next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brahma Bull Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Booth can throw HUGE hits. Those hits in the playoffs were awesome. Him and Kesler need to learn how to pass though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cow Disease Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Higgins has ridiculous work-ethic and is a smart, versatile player. If he can play a full season, I'm sure he can get 25 goals and provide excellent backchecking and PK support. Booth, also has the injury wild-card like Higgins, has great hands, can drive to the net and knows how to score. Give him a good playmaker and he's good for at least 30 goals per season, not taking into account any injuries. I'd take Higgins, personally.

RXnucks975 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 It's hard to say, I like what both guys can do for the team. But i like booth's skill set better than Higgins ^ ^ I like Bieksa's goal, he makes Niemi look soooo lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
