BieksaSedin Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I wouldn't mind having this as our line-up for game 1. Resigns: Dale Weise $800,000 Kellan Lain $950,000 Chris Tanev $1,150,000 Jordan Schroeder $950,000 (AHL) * We all saw flashes of what this guy can do at the NHL level giving him a season (maybe half a season in the AHL to develop more wouldn't be a bad thing* Call up: Brendan Gaunce as the Third line centre. I believe he is the most ready out of anyone else. (Unless Horvat surprises everyone) Line changes: Forwards 1st line . - A healthy Booth is a dangerous Booth. A big power forward who can score would gel perfectly with the Sedins. Booth isn't afraid of being physical and getting into the hard areas, including the front of the net.( a place Kesler was fond of in his amazing 2011 season). 2nd line. - Kassian has showed chemistry with Kesler before, ever since his first game actually, and I don't really need to talk about Burrows and Kesler together. 3rd line. - You have 2 speedy wingers in Higgins and Hansen partnered with a big power forward down the middle. Best part is? They can all pitch in and provide some nice depth scoring. 4th line. - Not much to talk about. TOUGH is all the comes to mind. Sestito - Richardson - Weise Defence no big changes really. All normal match ups Goalies Lu+Lack will win funniest Twitter goalie tandem. Sedin - Sedin - Booth Burrows- Kesler- Kassian Higgins - Gaunce - Hansen Sestito - Richardson - Weise (Lain) (Santorelli) Hamhuis - Bieksa Edler - Garrison Tanev - Corrado (Weber) Luongo Lack This leaves us with about $750,000 if i remember correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithers joe Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 that's only if tanev and the others sign for your figures...i could see tanev get 2mil...jensen and gaunce could crack this line up and we still need to sign 8th d-man... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22sedins33 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 You know who else has chemistry with Kesler? Booth. I think Kassian is the safer bet to be on the Sedin line. I feel like they play pretty similar games but Kassian is someone who passes more and suits the Sedin's style of play better. I'm not really sure why you had to make your own thread with this though. Surely there are other threads for predicting the line up that you could have used. It's not like you've used so much creativity that your line up needs to be a stand alone.

JE14 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 So going into the season with a worse line up than prior years............... We're gonna have to hope for major career seasons from everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I agree that Burrows needs a demotion at this point in his career, but Booth on the first line? He's never been a legitimate top line player in his time in the NHL, and he's literally on the verge of having to pursue a minor league career. I hope for a bounce back from him, but that's just beyond wishful thinking. Other than that, and the pairing of two very young D-men, it looks like a playoff team (probably not a 'contending' team). Don't you think Jensen will crack the roster though? He'd replace Raymond, and give a little extra finesse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegionOfDoom Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 No one here seems to understand how players typically make it to the NHL... For an offensive forward, they have to absolutely dominate in the OHL or the Q. Like WAY over a point-per-game kind of domination. Then, they have to dominate in the AHL (a point-per-game or better). Once they reach the AHL, they'll start to get the odd NHL game. But, they won't become a true NHL regular until they can dominate in the AHL. Gaunce hasn't even played a single AHL game. And, he didn't dominate in junior. So, the only way we'll see him as our regular 3rd line center this year (other than a few games here and there), is if he absolutely destroys it in Utica for a couple months, then gets the call-up for the second half of the year. We aren't starting the season with Gaunce as our 3rd, especially considering that Schroeder is literally years more advanced (and even Schroeder hasn't lit up the AHL yet, so that explains why he's on the bubble).

Matthew Lombardi 18 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I don't think that the Canucks should re-sign Weise. He's going to arbitration (which is his right) but he's a waste of a roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
