dorrcoq Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 It is risky and too early for Booth so my guess is it is an attempt to help the Wolves out whose offence has been devastated by injury. Andrew Gordon took a massive barge into the boards that would have felled an elephant the other day. They were already badly hit before that. How Gordon eventually got up and walked away from that in one piece is a miracle. (Deja vu of the Raymond incident) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AriGold Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Oh, yeah...big prediction, having three of the four lines with the wingers playing on their wrong side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 The best news out of all that is that it means Jordan Schroeder is sticking with the team for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaMacNamedDre Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Here's a crazy idea: Kesler is the trigger man the Sedins need since neither wants to shoot at the opportune time (albeit it's on the PP, Kes has a way of getting himself to the open ice when playing with the Sedins)...as well, with Kes on the ice with them, the Sedins can have more shifts that start in our end; Burrows actually looked good as a centreman -- his speed and forechecking skills serve him well in this position (ableit he wasn't so strong on the draws); Booth should be eased into a top six role...I wouldn't expect him to be at game speed, so give him a chance to move up the line up over the course of a few games. Play him on the second PP unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHIPS Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Its good to have Booth back. Sedin - Sedin - Burrows (Sedin Magic) Booth - Kesler - Kassian (Power Forward) Hansen - Schroder - Raymond (Speed kills) Higgins - Lappierre - Weise/Volpatti (this is a 4th line?)

canucktican Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Why would they waive Connolly and sit Steckel just to pick up Ebbett? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrissex95 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Schroeder will probably have to be a depth guy during the playoffs. He's been one of our best guys this year, but he's very young and I'm skeptical that he'll be able to help us win when it counts. Especially because he's 5'9 and a rookie. I've been very impressed with the tenacious back checking from him. If we move Raymond I think Schroeder should move down into his spot and the depth chart so we can get a solid line centre and another D. The next two years are make it or break it I think its time to make a big deal at the deadline. If we need to improve the depth a little bit on the left wing and the right wing because I don't think Volpatti and Weise are the guys that should be in the line up during a playoff run.

FlyLow_ Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Excellent, next up Dale Weisely. Finally after years of watching AV ruin perfectly good lines with Rome, Ebbett, and Weise, he'll have no choice but to play someone that might contribute.

DownUndaCanuck Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I really hope someone snags this guy so MG has a reason to go out and find us a bottom-6 center, preferably one with size. With Malhotra's 2+ million off the books we can just buy - throw away a 2nd or 3rd round pick for a big, physical centerman who can play 15 minutes comfortably, because we're down to 3 NHL centers (not including Schroeder) - 1 injury and we're in trouble again. I'm not comfortable with Burrows playing center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryten Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Agree with the: Sedin - Sedin - Burr Higgins - Kesler - Booth Raymond - Schroeder - Hansen Volpatti - Lapierre - Kassian crowd. I expect Kassian to move up and down the line-up to facilitate special teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostViking Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I hope this leads to Pinizzotto getting a chance at being our depth center once he is healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner Garrison Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I dont understand why everyone puts Booth and Kesler on the same line. They did not have any chemistry last year. Booth and Kesler both want the puck and wont pass. It would be like putting both Luongo and Schneider in the net at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorkush Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Sedin - Sedin - Kassian Booth - Kesler - Burrows Raymond - Schroeder - Hansen Volpatti/Wisse - Lapierre - Higgins ????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningWild Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Betting the Canucks get a centre back in a goalie trade, I could see Kes getting a shot with the Sedins when that happens. Till then, I bet Kass gets bumped to 4th line till he can show some defensive consistency. Just my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
