In the Slot Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Sedin Sedin Kassian (Its time to play Kassian where he should be, protect the twins, go to the net, and finish like he did in the first 7 games. It also let's them have the full season to work out kinks before the playoffs vs. slotting him in there game 1 of the real season). Burrows Schroeder Kesler (Want youth? Want to utilize players who are ready and where they should be? Burrows and Kesler are 2 of our best 2 way players if not. Schroeder will learn a ton from them. Kesler gets on the wing where he should be, playmaking center between 2 guys who can finish. While I'd prefer to have maybe Booth's size on this line, Burrows brings more and needs 2nd line ice. Moreover, he's good in the corners, is a very good playmaker and finisher, and has chemistry with Kesler).

In the Slot Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 "a healthy Booth is a dangerous Booth" I disagree, the only time he is dangerous is in hunting season and unfortunatly only bears and moose need worry.I have not seen anything special from him yet. I hope , I hope , but nothing happens. We are still a one line team plus Kesler. That means a tired one line team after 84 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHawkSniper Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 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...

laxgoalie Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Sedin - Sedin - Kassian (had a strong start on the Sedin line last year) Booth - Kesler - Burrows Higgins - Schroeder* - Hansen Weise* - Richardson - Santorelli Hamhuis - Juice Edler - Tanev* Mr. Hat - Corrado Weber Luongo Eriksson / Lack (Comes down to training camp) I think Schroeds is ready for that 3rd line center. He has the puck skills to be there 2nd and 3rd d-pairings will probably get equal time, with the 1st pairing getting the majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kage0612 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Dream on... that lineup would only happen if all three rookies scored 3 points a game all preseason and 9 game regular season stint. Gaunce would have to fight and get 3 points and Horvat score 2 or 3 goals a game. Shinkaruk would have to get 4 points a game to stick if they keep the other two. It's going to be fun to watch the preseason but that just isn't going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marleau_12 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Wow. Amazing how many people have Gaunce in already lol. That's Schroeder's spot to lose at this point I'd say, and if he does lose it, he'll lose it to Richardson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marleau_12 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 You forgot Booth. And maybe put Schroeder on Horvat's RW Sedin - Sedin - Kassian Shinkaruk - Kesler - Burrows Higgins/Booth - Horvat - Schroeder Booth/Higgins - Gaunce - Hansen Hamhuis - Edler Garrison - Bieksa Tanev - Corrado Luongo Lack That's the best possible line up (at least for the first 9 games) we can get without making any more trades/signings IMO.

RKESLER17 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 You guys are something else to think Higgins or Hansen wouldnt be on the second line over Kassian and some rookies that havent proved themselves. I would go with this line up with Booth injured. The 3rd line center role and one winger position is up for grabs. With a cap crunched season Schroeder and Jensen would get a likely look at the 3rd line.

canucklehead44 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Outside of a 9 game stint I don't see Gaunce, Shinkaruk or Horvat making the team. A player has to be an exceptional talent and dominate junior to skip the AHL. It doesn't happen very often. People were amazed with Skinner, but he was a 7th overall pick with 50 goals in the OHL as a 17 year old. Horvat and Gaunce aren't quite at that level. Shinkaruk put up the numbers but is probably best off developing properly. Gaunce is two full seasons away, Shinkaruk & Horvat three before we can really start penciling them in the starting lineup.
