Phil_314 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Boy, so many variables at play! I'll be wrong, but oh well (so will the rest of you ) Jensen - Gaunce - Kesler (Booth?) (people criticized Tavares' skating too but I think Brendan has enough talent to be up here; also put Kes on Brendan's wing because I think that Ryan can have the effect that Mats Sundin had on him, in that they play similar styles; also Kes is on the wing if his body can't take centering responsibilities) (If Schroeder proves he's good for Top 6 or Gaunce doesn't pan out: Jensen - Kesler - Schroeder) Danny - Henrik - Kassian (the Twins should be 2nd line talents by now and I think that's Zack's upside) Third line candidates: Burrows/Rodin* - Lapierre/ Gaunce* - Hansen/ Schroeder* (If Burr hasn't retired or if Rodin and Schroeder make it (but if Gaunce/ Schroeder don't show Top-6 upside)) Fourth line candidates: Mallet - Lapierre - Grenier*... who else? (don't know much about Alex Grenier but he's got size and could become another poor-man's Kassian...?) Edler - Tanev (I'd put Chris up here only if he matures physically and develops his shot; if not Garrison can take this place) Hamhuis - Connauton (I sometimes wonder whether Kevin will become another M.A. Bergeron but he's here for the time being) Garrison - Corrado (I think Frankie could surprise and lock things down in the back end, but he'll only be 22) *NOTE: I took Bieksa out since I don't think he'd be physically able to keep up that style at age 34, and maybe he'll retire or MG will let him go in free agency or become a depth guy Lack/ Schneider (some combination; wouldn't be surprised if Eddie pulled a Pekka Rinne) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Heyman Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 2014-15 Canucks: D. Sedin - H. Sedin - Jensen Booth - Kesler - Kassian Rodin - Gaunce - Hansen Mallet - Lapierre - Burrows x: Jordan Schroeder Edler - Corrado Hamhuis - Bieksa Garrison - Tanev x: Connauton, Sauve Schneider Lack Didn't factor in a Luongo trade, nothing is certain enough to predict there in the slightest anymore.

Nino Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 The Sedins may still be our first liners in a few years but it won't be b/c they're still first line caliber It'll be b/c we don't have enybody else better. Though I'm hoping Kesler hasn't destroyed his body so bad that he can't be the #1 centre is a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiznak Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Yup, I'm pretty sure that MG won't be signing any free agents in the next 3 or 4 years from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eretz canucks Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 In 5-6 years we are a bottom feeder unless Gillis signs some big UFAs or gets a couple great picks in at the draft Over the next 3 yrs... Sedins will be around for another 3 years by which time they will be 35 and they won't be top line players Kesler will be all banged up and booth (who in no way is currently good enough to be a top 3 forward) will be in the decline Kassian and Jensen offer some hope, but I doubt Schroeder or Gaunce will be anything at all. Our D will be OK IF we resign Edler. Garrison will be 30yrs old which is ok and Tanev and Cannauton may round into top 4 guys. Hamhuis and Bieksa may be a good bottom pair or second pair Schneider will be 29- prime time!! I am most worried about our offense. IMO, we need a young centerman with buckets of potential: Ex: Ryan Johansen Schenn Couturier Bjugstad So if I'm gillis, I'm trying to land a young center with first line potential via the Luongo trade. That's essentially what he is doing with the Florida rumours. Btw, no to Joe Colborne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I'm going to assume right off the bat that the Sedins retire in 4 years. By then: Jensen - Kesler © - Kassian Sweatt - Schroeder - Hansen Burrows (A) - Gaunce - Higgins Mallet - Lapierre - Grenier Hamhuis - Bieksa (A) Edler - Garrison Connauton - Tanev Corrado Schneider Lack I'm really optimistic about our prospects as you can tell. I really do think we're looking at another prospect injection similar to the Kesler/Burrows/Bieksa timing, wherein they were developed here and after a few years in the NHL were stars. Of course this would require either success in the form of a Stanley cup or else a complete tank job to begin such a rebuild. As well you have to consider the almost annual roster play MG tends to pick up at the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnsey Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I'd rather start a full rebuild by then, complete overhaul ala. Pitts, Chicago, Edmonton. Something to be excited about instead of holding on to the geezers and be a mediocre team for another 40 years. Please dont become the Flames...
