Avicii Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Really excited to see Jensen and Sweatt play. However, i hope they dont light it up for the first game.. Gillis needs to wake-up and realize he has to make a damn trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks_Hockey_101 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Kass was playing well with Chicago during the lockout so i would expect that this is just a wake-up call for him. He'll be back up with the big club by playoff time. Really excited to see Jensen play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Kassian was playing well with the Sedins at the begining of the season before being forgotten like any other rookie. Hope Gillis realizes he's got the wrong coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saskatchewan Canucks Fan Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I'm very excited about Jensen coming up. I don't expect too much from a rookie but I will be very glad to see him on the ice with our players. As for Kassian, I understand why he got sent down due to his injury and needing a conditioning stint perhaps. But It really makes me cringe that a young player can do so well with the Sedins and get moved permanently from their line. Its about asset management. The Sedins were looking good with Kassian in my opinion (other opinions may differ on this). And Burrows is at an age where he can be effective with anyone while Kas obviously cannot be at this point in his career. It seems critical and obvious to put Kas with the Sedins. I am not known for mouthing off about AV but I really feel like he isn't handling some players well. I understand that a lesser role worked for developing Kes and the Sedins but times have changed and it might not be the best way to develop players in this day and age. AV you are very stubborn and ignorant when it comes to adapting your coaching style. Sorry for the rant, and I realize that this is not necessarily the right thread to include this in. Concluding that I realize that Kas is most likely on a conditioning stint and I am very very excited to see what Jensen can do at his very young age. Best of Luck Nick!

Ossi Vaananen Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Really using all of our depth this year. Jensen wasn't even an option until early March, and had he not gone to Europe he'd be in Junior still. But hey, I'm not complaining, I love seeing young guys get their shot. I am however concerned with this time wise, as it could be the case that Gillis is trying to get these two some exposure before the trade deadline, that or see if either of these guys can be an option for offensive boost.

zombieksa Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I highly doubt Jensen is getting auditioned for a trade, not with just one game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 This is a great move IMO.. We're just treading water right now. Hanging on to wins and struggling to find offense. Love the fact gillis is giving 2 of our prospects a chance to see if they are ready to help out in that area before the deadline... Kinda expected Jensen to get the call but this is a well timed bone to throw at sweatt. He really deserves a chance to show what he can do. Sending Kass down is kinda weird. Don't mind it so much, he's not quite a key guy yet but he does have offensive skills that might have been able to help. That being said he could use a stint of top six minutes down there if he won't be getting them in the big league. Season him up a bit before the playoffs in case we need him in an offensive role.

Noheart Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 DAMN YOU!!! I was about to make this thread. Once I realized the website was a bit slower, I knew someone beat me. On topic: I am very happy to see Jensen come up. IMO he is our best prospect hands down. Lets give him some NON-4th line ice time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinishEveryCheck Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Kassian was playing better with the Sedins, but the Sedins were playing better with Burrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davinci Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Why is there always a race to make a topic Do what I do, nothing Anyway, this is why I like AV, if you wanna roster spot you earn it no matter who you where traded for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I think there's two aspects to this. 1) We need scoring badly because our forwards aren't getting it done. Too much complacency, nobody challenging them. 2) I believe they're seeing if Jensen can replace Raymond if he is in fact in play for a trade. And Sweatt is potentially being showcased as an almost NHL ready prospect for a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noheart Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 This is what's wrong with the Canuck mentality. Sometimes there are players with so much skill you just have to wait for them to get adjusted. Look at Brandon Saad.... He's playing in the top 6 on a deep blackhawks team. Do you think he deserved the ice time? No but the coach has let him adjust to top 6 minutes and he's starting to light it up. All this bouncing around the lineup doesn't help a players development. See Nazem Kadri... bounces around and produces squat... finally let him sit in the 2nd line C role and he starts producing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prana16 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 The twins were playing like crap, if you can't see that putting burrows back with them was the right move then I dunno what to tell ya. Perhaps this is a top six conditioning stint to put him back with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
