monza Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 People talk about the young guys, but our real "wild card" this year is Booth - if he stays healthy ( and that's a big if ) our top-6 starts to look very good again. The fact of the matter is this guy has all the "tools" we're looking for in the top-6 - size, speed, hands and toughness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua59 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Come back year for him and the team as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THERETOOL Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 i think hes gonna get off to a quick start .. and then slow down near the end .. i predict 30 .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smith80 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I don't think booth will play more than 60 games, however if he does, I'll say he scores 19. Otherwise, I see him getting 14-16. I think torts will help him, but, he will still get injured... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noorkamal Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I think he would get between 20-30 goals if he stays healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.DirtyDangles Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 In another realm in another time he might have scored 30 maybe even 40 in a full season. But as bionic implants are not readily available his kleenex like durability will limit him to under 20 goals if he can even stay healthy for that long. How this guys continually gets a free pass for crapping tha bed is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 23 /18 = 41 points. Look; the Canucks need Booth Kassian and Kesler to return to form (come to form in Kassian's case). That's three pretty physical players who all have all a healthy dose of speed for our top 6? Whether they score or not depends on how often they actually play with a play maker, puck possession guy > as AV was always bent on having our 3 best play makers on one line... I personally think the Twins should play PP and key offensive shifts (late in game, after a spent 4th line ices the puck) together. Otherwise use two of the world's top 5 forward passer's to get more lines going. Try; Danny/Kesler/Booth Burrows/Hank/Kassian Even dbl shift the Twins a bit if u don't split them, but get more of their sweet saucer passes landing on more potential goal scorers sticks! Booth, Kesler and Kassian all have the potential to be 30, 35 maybe even 40 (Kesler) goal scorers, but need that puck possesion / play making element available to them!

Phil_314 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 How many goals will David Booth get this season assuming he stays healthy. I think he'll be good for 20 easily with Kesler Schroeder or Hank centering him. Hopefully he can be somewhere around (25g 25a 50p) if all goes smoothly.

Carrots Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Probably around 15 he'll be injured for half the season I guarantee it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangler696969 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 He's gonna break both his legs before he reaches 10. take that to the bank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 He'll score at a 20-25 goal pace, no matter how many games he plays. Expect him to start on the 2nd line with Kesler and Burrows, but he could be bounced around anywhere in the top-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'm a Booth fan, so I'd hope for the mid 20s, but I'd expect the high teens, maybe 18 or 19 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baratheon Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I would be curious to see Booth have a few games with the Sedins to see what happens. I think he provides many of the same kinds of things that Alex Burrows does (speed hard work nose for the net etc) I know Booth is a Left Winger but many people forget that Alex Burrows is also originally a Left Winger and only moved to the right side because obviously he isn't bouncing Daniel Sedin out of his natural position. This option would also allow Kassian to play with Burrows and Kesler in the top six which would (imo) put less responsibilities on him than if he were with the Twins. I also think that Burrows Kesler Kassian would be a VERY nasty line to play against (especially in the playoffs) Just my 2 cents. Maybe I'm out to lunch lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches5 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 if he's worked on his shot easily 30 seeing how i doubt he has i am going with about 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckdynasty Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I hate David booth. His flaw in character is undeniable. He tries to convert his own teammates to his religion. Does anyone else see how messed up that is? I am really surprised we didn't buy him out or dump him for a 7th rounder. Edit: and BTW I have him at scoring 10-14 goals.

Eldanspar Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 As stated 1000000 times, hope he stays healthy. I could see 23 on the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcat13 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 15 sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lafayette off the post Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 if healthy I say he scores more than Clarkson does for the leafs this year. what ever that number is. Clarkson's contract suddenly made booth's not look so bad to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
