[Discussion] Horvat Unlikely to start in NHL Next Year


Recommended Posts

As the Depth Chart is right now for the Canucks:

D Sedin - H Sedin - Vrbata

Higgins - Bonino - Burrows

Vey*/Hansen - Matthias - Kassian*

Sestito - Richardson - Dorsett

*When/if we get them signed

As much as you may or may not like the line up. And Horvat as of right now does not make these line ups any better.

I'm actually really happy to see that [it appears] we aren't gonna rush our youngsters. I'm already in love with the player Horvat's gonna be, but the time hasn't come yet for him. Even if he does make the team this year, I'd be surprised if he becomes an impact player for us sooner than at least 2 or 3 seasons anyway. I think his career would ultimately benefit from another year, though I wish it could be in the AHL.

sestito will not be in

sedin sedin vrbata

burrows bonino kassian

higgins vey hansen

mathias richardson dorsett

Im not looking forward to playing Calgary 8 times a year with that lineup...I think they have to keep Sestito.

Well he will be 13th

And why? Just skate around Calgary slow tuff guys

If Horvat isn't ready I think we'll make a move for a second line center

Sedin - Sedin - Vrbata

Burrows - _____ - Kassian

Higgins - Bonino - Vey

Matthias - Richardson - Dorsett

Hamhuis - Bieksa

Edler - Tanev

Sbisa - Corrado

Miller

Lack

Hovrats development best serves being in the nhl next year. He's had 3 years in ohl, don't think a fourth would benefit him to much. I would say 2 of our current roster will be dealt... Maybe even after camp to see who plays well together but if I were to bet I think burrows and Hansen are on the way out.

Sedin-Sedin-Vrbata

Jensen/Burrows-Bonino-Kassian

Higgins-Horvat/Matthias-Vey/Burrows

Matthias/Sestito-Richardson-Dorsett

^Hansen's out for sure. Burrows may also need to be shipped out if Jensen and Vey both really impress.

What does Sestito offer that Dorsett, Kassian and Sbisa don't?

He's a heavyweight and fights anyone.

Not so sure about that. Will do him no good if he struggles to adapt, and he's forced to play because there is no back up plan. Let the youngsters develop properly. If management think he's ready to start his development the NHL, he will without shadow of a doubt be playing, but not to please fans, who can't wait a few years to give them the time needed...
