Mookie Wilson Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Sedin Sedin Burrows Booth Kesler Higgins Raymond Schroeder Hansen Volpatti Lapierre Kassian Malhotra to rotate with Volpatti, depending on the match-up. Kassian to get spot duty in the top-9, as well as PP time. Weise to the Wolves if waivers not required. Otherwise, Barker to the Wolves and Weise to the press box. Schroeder has looked good with Raymond and Hansen. The AMEX gets re-united. Kassian's demotion is a shame, but he fits well on the 4th line, and hopefully AV can get creative to keep his minutes up. None of the top-9 forwards fit on the fourth line, and all have been deserving of their spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkoshack Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I really would like to see Schroeder center the 2nd line and Kes moved to the wing. I know Canucks management believes Kesler is best suited as a hybrid centre/winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jimmy Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I'm gonna get flamed and trolled for this but here goes.... Sedin-Sedin-Burrows Kesler-Lappy-Kassian Higgins-Schroeder-Hansen Volpatti-Manny-Booth/Raymond (trade one of them with Luongo...then when we get "said player" we'll worry about where to put him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mookie Wilson Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 An interview on 1040 with Gilman last summer "Ryan is a finisher, he's a shooter and he's a unique centre iceman," explained Gilman, "but some of the best hockey Kesler played in my time here is when he played right wing, with Mats Sundin in the middle." He continued to discuss a scenario in which the Canucks might consider moving Ryan Kesler over to the wing, "When you have assets like Jordan Schroeder you have the luxury of maybe playing Ryan with other players."

Glov10 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I think we may see a lot of juggling until we find some combo's that work, but here is a thought from me: D. Sedin - H. Sedin - Kassian Schroeder - Kesler - Burrows (Speed and defensively responsible) Booth - Lappy - Raymond/Hansen Higgins - Manny - Hansen/Raymond Save Weise and/or Volpatti for teams where we need more grit or toughness We have a lot of depth, its really difficult trying to find spots for everyone. I love Lapierre, but I wonder if he is more suited for a 4th line C rather than 3rd, but i would be VERY comfortable going into the playoffs with this line up. Gillis should feel no pressure what so ever to trade LU at this point. This team very well could be better than the one we had in 2011...just need to stay healthy.

DS4quality Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 D. Sedin-H. Sedin -Burrows Booth- Kesler- Kassian Raymond-Schroeder-Hansen Higgins-Lapierre-Malhotra---- My logic for this one is that Higgins and Lappy look good together and I'd rather an extra face off man Volpatti/Wiese Why mess with good chemistry(Ray Schre Han)... Burrows and Kassian are interchangeable as well as Kassian and Higgins The funny thing is a lot of these players could be third or second line players on many teams in the league...

JasetheCanuck Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Balanced Scoring: D.Sedin/H.Sedin/Kassian Booth or Raymond/Kesler/Burrows Raymond or Higgins/Schroeder/Hansen Higgins or Volpatti/Lapierre/Malhotra or Weise Interchange Kassian and Burrows as necessary. At the moment, leave Burr with the Twins, they looked together great last night *edit* whoops sorry Higgy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papayas Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 LOL @ that being reality he hasnt play in how long and you expect him to just walk into the season on the second line third line for kes till he gets up to game speed get those good 2 way forward habits going before he thinks hes a sniper again if av puts him on the second or even gives him second line minutes i will be surprised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analyst Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 sedin/sedin/burrows (cycling line) booth/kesler/kassian (power line) raymond/schroeder/hansen (speed line) malhotra/lappiere/higgins (lunch bucket line) weise Kassian and Higgins Interchangable depending on Kassian's Consistancy Kassian get's 2nd Unit PP time Schroeder to stay on First Unit PP as left point with Edler Schroeder's defensive reliability makes me comfortable leaving him on the 3rd line. I wouldn't go out to call it the "checking line," I would hope we've gotten to the point that a traditional checking line isn't needed and that we can trust all of our lines to be defensively responsible.

406281dylan Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 regardless of what the fourth and third line is they will be getting around the same ice time because lapierre and higgins are trust worthy players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
