BurnabyJoe Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The 2004 9th Round Pick out of Denmark has been with us for 4 seasons now. I've always loved his game, he's fast, physical, and can shoot/pass. Never takes a shift off. 2010-2011 // 9G // 20A // 29PTS // 82G 2011-2012 // 16G // 23A // 39PTS// 82G Will Hansen always be a third line winger? Career 40 point player? 20 goal scorer? Where is his peak? Can he pull of 25 goals this year? 50 points? Regardless, if he can stay at last seasons rate and giver' come playoff time I hope we never deal him.

BZRK Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Will be a good 3rd liner, he doesn't have the hands to play in the top-6. he will probably top out as a 15 goal 20 assist guy, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufasa Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 He is a great third liner, and im glad how he has developed. I do belive he has some offensive potential, and that he can hit 20-25 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksFanMike Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 he would probably be in the top six on other teams.... but like Chris Higgins he excels most on a deep team where he is a third liner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanj Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 We have seen some flashes of brilliance from Hansen. He just needs to work on his finish and he could be more than career third liner. He has great vision. Just needs to execute better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vancouvercanucks#1 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Third line forechecker, can count on him for no more than 25-30 points a season. At 1.3 mil, he's a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00kies Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Depends who his center is; most of his offensive success last season came with Hodgson at center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smith80 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hansen is one of my favourite Canucks. I mean, how can you not love the guy? He is young, affordable, he works his tail off every single night, and he seems to be about as low maintenance as you can be. He, as others have stated, has had flashes of great play, but, he needs to find a way to put a few more of his chances in. It would be tough to put him into a top-6 role, however, not because he couldn't do it, but, because he is too good as a grinding winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Bang Boogie Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 He's one of the best third liners in the league. Hansen can also fill in the top six if there are any injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels22 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 One of the best third line players in the league without a doubt.. He can hit, skate fast, defend against any forward on the PK, can play on any line, and even chip in some decent points... He can do it all, and he is STILL considered underrated... One of the best overall players on our team, and we are lucky to have him... I nearly crap myself when people suggested we trade him in the Luongo deal.. Just idiotic...
