Booth's Snapback Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I was expecting this thread to be a lot stupider than it is. Granted, I still can't see Kassian losing his spot, even if Jensen does come over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StopesisCanucks Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 If Jensen came up it wouldn't be Kass going down it would wiese or volpatti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dank.sinatra Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Ahhhh you people drive me crazy with all this put Jensen in the line up now stuff. Jensen won't see a game as a Canuck this season and it would a mistake if he did. He may play in the NHL next year or maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 My thoughts are Jensen cannot play for us this year, he chose to go to Sweden to play in a mens league, or he would have been qssigned to Oshawa. Kassians spot is only in jeopardy if and when Lou gets traded depending on what we get in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuretoMogilny Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Jensen will not take Kassian's spot on an AV team. 1. Kassian is developing and needs to just focus on his defensive game and consistency. Common issue amongst young players. He has however, shown an improvement already this year so he just needs to continue, its a process folks. He wasn't going to hit/fight and power like Cam Neely this year, but he sure is showing the tools...so be patient. 2. He should be playing on the third. With Schroeder and Mayray as he is tonight, he and Schroeds have chemistry. He can provide the size for that line, and Mayray and Schroeds are both defensively responsible. 3. Jensen has not played a minute in the AHL or NHL and people are saying Kassian's spot is in jeapordy ---> lol is all i can say..absurd, shows the level of hockey ignorance on this board. Before he even gets a chance in the NHL he's (Jensen) going to have to prove in 30 games in the AHL he can play both ways (at a minimum). 4. Kassian is fine, Jensen will be fine. Kesler and the Sedins started on the 3rd line and played there for 3-4 years. So why is Kassian a bust? Lol. Just like the Sedins were 'sisters ' right? or Kesler wasn't worth 1.75$ million that the nucks matched on Phi's offer sheet right? 5. Perhaps he's seeing 4th line time to work on using his size and defensive play so that when the playoffs start he will bring that to the table. Moreover, many on this board don't realize AV moves guys up and down based on what he thinks the team needs for that game. Its called getting his team to buy into a system. Everyone has a role on any given night and people here are still whining bec Cody is gone and getting pity points playing with the leagues top scorer (yet a negative in the plus minus!) and Kass is being 'developed' properly. 6. People on here think they know more than AV and MG, guess what, you don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggins Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Wow the first five games everyone was riding Kassian d--- now you all hating on him? Damn no wonder Lu never moved his family here and secretly wants be traded back to the US. Band wagon jumpers. I hate Lu, he can't win in big games, he flops too much blah blah, now its, I'm gonna miss Lu, pleased dont trade him, Cory sucks. Vancouver has to have one if the worst bandwagon jumping fans in any sport. Kassian is young and I told you guys just being in the Sedin line will inflate his points. Watch him be united with the Sedins again in future and rack up points. Everyone be waiving the Kassian flag again lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Knight Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Volpatti is a better 4th liner than Kassian. Hits harder and works harder, Kassian looks like he isn't engaged in the game and floats around providing no energy/ physicality. He's better off playing in the minors as a top line player and learning how to be consistent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancanwincup Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 For all you thinking Jensen can not play for the Canucks this season; it was reported during todays game that Jensen could be playing for the Canucks sometime this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButterBean Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 If we want to win a Stanley Cup let alone a deep playoff run we are going to need Zack Kassian on this team. Come playoff time Zack Kassian is versatile enough to play on all 4 lines. We need his big body up front and his toughness will prevent us from getting bullied by bigger tougher teams.

Vancanwincup Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 The Canucks want top prospect Nicklas Jensen, who turns 20 on March 6, to join the American League’s Chicago Wolves when his season in the Swedish Elite League with AIK Stockholm wraps up. AIK has five games remaining and sits in ninth place, four points out of a playoff spot in the 12-team league. Jensen has 15 goals in 45 games but has had his ice time reduced recently after the Canucks nixed AIK’s plan to try and trade him. Jensen is under contract to the Canucks and on loan to AIK. Canuck GM Mike Gillis explained the situation when he appeared on the club’s flagship radio station, Team 1040, with midday hosts Matt Sekeres and Blake Price. “Well, what I think has happened is they were out of the playoffs and wanted to try and trade his rights to get something at their deadline, which we didn’t agree with because we didn’t want to see him traded to another team,” Gillis said. “When his team finishes, we expect him to be over here and playing in Chicago. So we were uncomfortable with that and I think there might be some measure of holding it against him (reduced ice time) but it won’t last too much longer. He’s not playing as much.” Asked why the Canucks didn’t approve a trade, Gillis replied: “For a number of reasons. We wanted to get him back here to play in the American Hockey League and gain that experience like he did before. He’s certainly capable of playing at that level and excelling so we didn’t want him to go to another team and have him play and miss that opportunity this year. He’s a young guy and we just didn’t feel comfortable with him moving around and then not getting the American Hockey League experience.” Asked if the Canucks would be against Jensen playing for the big club at some point this season, the GM said: “No, we wouldn’t be at all. In our organization, people earn what they get. Nick has played very well. I think he needs to continue to gain experience at the pro level and he’s moved along quite nicely and this is a minor hiccup in the season for him. But we expect when he gets to Chicago, he will contribute there and, if he continues, he’ll be contributing for us.” Jensen, a native of Denmark, was the Canucks’ first pick (29th overall) in the 2011 entry draft. He’s listed at 6-3 and 186 pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
