Canucksfan3322 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Sigh, same old same old on here. Richardson and Santorelli will be the starting 3rd and 4th line centers to begin next season. Barring Horvath / Schroeder just blowing everyone away in camp. Top line will be Sedins and Burr, Kesler Higgins and Booth are likely the second line. then the third is likely to be Hansen Richardson Kassian to start the season with Sestito, Santorelli and possible Ferriero / Gordon / Weise etc on the fourth. That is the most experienced and most likely to be the starting set up for this team. It is possible rookies win spots and push these guys out but they will have to really show they deserve to be there over guys that the GM just brought in. Will it be the same by the mid way mark of the season, likely not but that is how they are likely to start the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastal1 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 except he has a year of junior hockey left if he doesn't make the team, I'd like him to get his 8 games and then make a decision. Schroeder may excell under torts don't know why people are giving up on him after a decent rookie season with very little ice time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue & Green Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Opening game line-up: Sedin - Sedin - Kassian Booth - Kesler - Burrows Higgins - Richardson - Hansen Sestito - Santorelli/Gaunce - *Weise Hamhuis - Bieksa Edler - Garrison *Alberts - Tanev Luongo Lack If Gaunce performs well in the preseason, I would not mind seeing him start a few games before going back to the OHL. Maybe he plays well enough to stay... Edit: either Schroeder or Jensen on the 2nd line if Booth is a no show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooker Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Why does everybody think that the Sedin's NEED a big power forward? When have they shown their best success? Lets go back many year's when they were 2nd liner's Magnus Arvedson was one a tear with his SPEED before he tore is ACL. Jason King who had a good half season with the sedin's and was calder talk was a very good Speedy forward. Anson Carter he hit and found his way to the net not by being a huge power forward but his speedy forecheck. Burrows skates hits and score with them but is not considered a power forward by any means. All faster skaters with some decent hands and skill. Stick with what they like and skilled skater and hard nosed forechecking forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancity87 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 sedin-sedin-kass jensen-kesler-burr higgins-richardson-hansen sesito-lain-weise booth will not start the season due to his injury.. shredder will start in the AHL because he is a known entity. bo guance and shinner will go back to the juniors to marinate but they will be given there games in the nhl for experience . we will see shredder this year due to a roster injury or someone under performing . he will need to play like a boss or will go back down and become a trade chip. booth may have his chance but if the youth rise to the occation he will be on waivers.

bluesman60 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Higgins has proved to a least score when he is on the 2nd line with Kesler so I would put Booth where he belongs, on LW 3rd line. There is no way Booth has good enough hands to be on the 1st line or 2nd line. If Jensen produces, he could warrant a trade of one of Booth, Higgins or Hansen(I would hate to see this guy traded. 1st Sedin Sedin Kassian (as long as he produces) 2nd Higgins Kesler Burrows 3rd Booth Gaunce Hansen 4th ? Richardson ? Hamhuis Bieksa Edler Tanev Garrison Corrado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicNuckleHead09 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 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...
Angry Goose Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I like those lines. Especially the second one. At the very least Booth could bang it out in front of the net and the Sedins bank pucks off his stick/him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BieksaSedin Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Glad I sparked some discussion and I am glad some people like my line-up, after reading comments the only think I might change is a roster spot for Jensen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgyfan Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 It's either we sign all the free agents and are successful or we put all the rookies in and are. Both are ridiculous, and the proof is in the pudding. Plenty of teams try building contenders through free agency, but the most consistent style of winning comes from organization-built talent and some recent good trades/acquisitions. Gillis will not abandon talent that has been shown to be useful yet could potentially be put on the trading block (higgins, hansen, booth, edler) Those kinds of players have specific roles, and with Gillis moneyball tactics, he's simply looking at what is needed to be put into the forumla to win. - faceoff winning centers (who have history with our own roster players) = Santorelli, Richardson - 6/7/8 depth defenceman who are young but capable = (Weber, Guimond, Corrado) - young depth forwards who can fight/score/play = (DeFazio, Ferrario) Yes, most are Utica signings, but any good organization that wants to contend has respectable depth. Expect maybe 1 or 2 more Utica signings, or maybe even 1 nhl roster player for our bottom-six. I think Gillis is doing fine. He's doiing what I want him to do. (trade schneider, build depth, new coaching staff, draft better) I never really cared about big FA signings, mainly because I passed Grade 8 Math. Be smart with your money, and trust your direction. I've said this plenty of times already, and I'll say it again; I'm so excited for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
