Grinder_1 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Where does he fit in the lineup? Sedin-Sedin-Burrows Booth-Kesler-Hansen Higgins-Lapierre-Kassian Volpatti-Malhotra-Weise Ebbet Which of those wingers does he legitimately deserve to beat out for a spot? Where can he cause the least harm with his falling flat on his arse? Hansen has outplayed Raymond and deserves a 2nd line opening over him. Higgins is also more deserving of promotion to the 2nd line. Kassian fits better on the third line than Raymond and needs the opportunity to grow his game. And Raymond would be absolutely terrible on the 4th line. How would you make the best of a bad situation if we're stuck with him on the opening-day roster?

higgyfan Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Guys are putting Kassian on the 2nd line when he's proven nothing. Let's wait and see how he looks this year. And let's give Raymond the same fair chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunjabiCanuck Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Sedin - Sedin - Booth Burrows - Kesler (Schroder) - Kassian Volpatti- Malhotra - Hansen Raymond - Lapierre - Weiss You forgot higgins Got a bit of toughness on each line, and Weiss is on a one way contract so would be a waste to not use him. Volpatti on the 3rd line is iffy, but he is making a come back from injury so maybe replace him with Weiss or Raymond on the 3rd line. GM MG said himself Kassian has potential to make it to 2nd line this year.. Sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I'd be happy with something like this Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Booth - Kesler - Kassian Raymond - Lapierre - Higgins Volpatti - Malhotra - Hansen God it feels weird putting Raymond in the line up (I don't think I ever have) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggins Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I think Raymond has a lot to prove this training camp and exhibition play. Granted he did just have back surgery last year, but I didn't think he was all that great 2 seasons ago either. No real excuses there playing on Keslers wing most of that season and playoff. Like others have said if he can't regain his form there may not be a spot for him. And the third line is a waste for a skill winger unless AV is gonna go with 3 scoring lines which I doubt. Kinda reminds me of Naslund in his last year here , trying to find the right fit. It will be interesting to see what Gillis does if Raymond doesn't deliver. I hope he can turn it around.

Lenny Jones Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Because he hasn't been given the opportunity. He played pretty well with the Sedins, and has earned the opportunity to see if he can perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Ideally, Raymond slots in on the third line. However, Kesler is coming off surgery and as of yet, the Canucks have not added anyone to fill that role. Schroeder may be able to do it, but unless one of the young players really shows the team something, don't be surprised to see Raymond there. I know a lot of CDCers would feel like jumping off a bridge if that happened, but CDC is not particularly noted for objectivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
