Sixteen W's Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Yes, I know he's a centre, but we've seen Roy play on the wing despite specifically being acquired to play centre. And the team had its best game recently so keep that lineup, but this is in case of injuries. Lapierre's been a better player during the playoffs than the regular season. The Sedins can generate scoring chance with anybody, and they need players that can bury these chances. For example, Kassian has played with everyone in our lineup, and he's been average to terrible with anyone but the Sedins. Lapierre has a very good shootout record (6/11 career, 3/4 in his last four), which makes me think he could do a decent job at burying chances. He agitates, he's physical, and he can be clutch. He's at least worth a look with the Sedins in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayRayDown Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Lapierre is one of our best faceoff guys. We already have Burrows/Kassian to play with the Sedins and can produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Yeah, no thanks. We need him in the bottom 6 and we already have a couple of guys who can play there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drouin Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Maybe if it was earlier in the season, but not enough time now to develop chemistry. He is one of our best Centers so we need him to play that role, and he looked great last game with Hansen and Raymond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaster Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Lappy is not a top line player. I wonder if AV has tried ROY yet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 It didn't work in last years playoffs, so I see know reason to give it another chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockNroLLa. Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 good idea, maybe not right time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 He's not even a 2nd line player, not sure how he would do on the 1st then. But yeah, keep him in the bottom 6 where he's more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spliced Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Canucks don't have the depth to replace him in the bottom 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgt. grumbles Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Lapierre is a good two way centre, but shouldn't be in the top six. He doesn't have the amount of scoring touch to compliment the playmaking and passing of the Sedins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Might be a nice idea to reward him for his good play but ONLY if Roy moves back down to the 3rd line. Ebbet isn't good enough to be in our lineup, let alone as the 3rd line center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

406281dylan Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I think that would be cool and we would score alot but i would love him to center the 3rd in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langdon Algur Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Considering our centre depth, I'd say bad idea, no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
