Drouin Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 This is no secret that we need a 3rd line center, but what IF, we move Kesler to the 3rd line? He would be a great shutdown center. Don't get me wrong, he's a great player but he would help the team out more in a shutdown role. Even more so if we traded for a 2nd line center. Maybe Derek Roy? Line-ups would look something like this: D.Sedin-H.Sedin-Burrows Raymond-Roy-Higgins Hansen-Kesler-Booth Kassian-Lapierre-Weise/Pinizzotto Considering we don't trade anyone from our current roster. What would you offer the Stars for Roy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOB for MVP Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I think Roy would likely be the 3rd line center if the Canucks were to trade for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drouin Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Great defensively, on the PK and an overall hard-worker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB007 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Mattias would be awesome though FL will make us pay for him. They will ask for one of our top prospects like Jensen or Corrado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Kesler is an elite player. He is fast and has an amazing shot plus he is a top defensive player. No way we are putting him on the third line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edlerberry Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Kesler on a more defensive 2b line with a more offensive/skilled 2a line makes us DEEP. Kesler on the 2nd line taking offense away from everyone else so he can hog the puck doesn't help unless we had a playmaking winger for him, which we don't. Kesler would play #1 PP and #1PK and be the first to double shift for whatever reason, his minutes will be as high or higher than the Sedins. But with 3 scoring lines, including a legitimate shutdown line, we'd be killer. Having a 2nd line thats meant to score with defensive players, and then a third line that has an offensive center who doesn't ever PK would be really dumb. Alternitively, we go with a checking third liner like mattias who can chip in with offense but isn't as skilled as Roy. We're left with much less skill overall. In the end, Hogson on the 2a line, Kesler on the 2b line, with Hodgson taking 2nd pp time and Kesler taking top PP time and PK time would have worked best.
