Kack Zassian Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Had we been missing Henrik Sedin all season, instead of Ryan Kesler, would we be better or worse than we are right now? So, as we know, we are 13-9-6 on the season. Henrik has put up 27 points in 28 games (solid production). (random generated lineup).

Lockhart Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 The teams pretty used to playing without Kesler or without Kesler being effective so isn't it an obvious answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanKeslord17 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Henrik, because that would mean we now have no first line. As it is now: Line 1 Line 3 Line 4a Line 4b Take Hernik out, and it's now: Line 2 Line 3 Line 4a Line 4b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuxFan09 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Worse. Way worse. Hank leads the team in points (tied with Daniel for the lead in goals, leads the team in assists) and incredibly is a +16 on the season, despite the awful defense and goaltending we've seen lately. Kesler, while he would make a bigger impact defensively and physically, does not do as much for the team overall as Hank does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hank is playing like an MVP again, we lose him and we don't make the playoffs, with or without Kesler in the lineup, it doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bd71 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Henrik Sedin is the most important player on the team without question and he is having an amazing season. Take him out and this team is in the Seth Jones hunt. Maybe the emotion of losing him carries them for a while but you don't lose a player like that and survive. I used to think Daniel was better and maybe he can score more but Henrik is doing so much this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayRayDown Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Henrik is the Canucks. No disrespect to Daniel but we've seen what the Canucks are without Daniel, Without kesler. We haven't seen the Canucks without Henrik and that my friends will be the worse nightmare you could ever think of. When Henrik goes, we go.

CrippledCanuck Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Easy math Henrik has 27pts in 28gp Kesler has 5pts in 7gp x that by four to make the same 28 and it is 20pts in 28gp Henrik more points than kesler would have had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombieksa Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Losing Henrik would have this team trying to play a game they have not had to play in what... 8 seasons? Losing a player who has been on your roster every single game for that many seasons would severely hamper the team, even with Kesler in the lineup.

MrsCanuck Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Henrik is the best player on this team. We wouldn't be able to bandage a loss like him. Kesler hasn't played that well since 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZephyrsSong Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Losing Henrik would be more devastating. Not only in regards to the points he produces but it might hurt Daniel's production too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
