FaninMex Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 There has been a lot of talk recently about trading Burrows and Hansen. There has even been talk about trading Richardson. While I am open to trading these players, I am concerned about a lack of thought about what will become of our PK. Last year before the plague of injuries decimated our team we had a great PK. Santo and Richardson were outstanding together. Burr and Kes had been great for quite a few years Hansen is also decent on the PK. However, we have lost two key players and could lose more. So, the question has to be made, who will step up to the plate to fill this growing gap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William_Clarkson Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Not all of: Richardson, Burrows, Higgins, Hansen, Dorsett, Bonino, Matthias, Horvat/Gaunce will be traded. Maybe two of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWestNuck Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Personally, I have a feeling we're going to see Mathias a bit more on the PK this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xereau Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Burrows for future PK coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spotted Zebra Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 If you can move burrows or Hansen for anything of simmilar value, do it. Richardson,Mathias, and Higgins can al PK well enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksFanMike Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 even if we do trade Burrows, Hansen and Richardson (which we wont), we still have Vrbata, Higgins, Matthias, Dorsett, Horvat, Gaunce to kill penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanTSN Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 The PK will miss Kesler a lot. Burrows/Hansen/Matthias/Richardson/Higgins and maybe even Dorsett are the remaining options. For all the panic about Sedins killing penalties last year, they really didn't do much of it. Not sure why we'd trade Richardson. He's cheapish, we need him, and he doesn't hold much value. Unless he wants out, but no talk about that is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure to Mogilny Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Dang i thought this thread would be a bout Jordan Subban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerEpic5 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 It probably helped that torts knew what he was doing on the PK. though injuries got in the way.. torts had to change things around and put the sedins for quite some time on the PK which literally killed them.. production wise that is..

DeNiro Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I'm not worried about our pk. It's our powerplay that needs to rebound big time. We have a solid group of bottom 6 forwards that can all pk (Higgins, Hansen, Dorsett, Vey, Richardson, Matthias, and Burrows), not to mention solid D men (Hamhuis, Tanev, Sbisa, Stanton, Bieksa), and great goaltending (Miller, Lack) that can all come up big on the penalty kill. Edler returning to form and Vrbata and Bonino finding chemistry on the powerplay is what will be more important IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksSayEh Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Losing Kesler hurts, but Burr and Tanev are two of the best PKers in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuck-Shot Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Richardson and matthias arent a huge downgrafe from kesler on the pk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaninMex Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Tanev is a Dman. I was talking forwards. Vrbata I doubt will be on the PK, especially because if you didnt like the Sedins there you're not gonna want him there. Can Dorsett do well on the PK? Burrows Hansen Mathias ( I remember him playing on the PK, but don't remember his quality ) Higgins Richardson I don't really see Horvat or Gaunce making the team but if they do maybe they will see some PK time Edit: Forgot Richardson.

Burrows Hansen Mathias Higgins I don't really see Horvat or Gaunce making the team but if they do maybe they will see some PK time Dorsett is a very good pker. You can add Richardson and Vey to that list too. We have more than enough guys to fill that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 If Hansen and Dorsett are on the 4th line, adding in their PK time and that WD wants to roll four lines, the fourth line is going to get pretty decent minutes so ultimately there might not be much difference TOI-wise between the 3rd and 4th. Indeed, could be pretty much interchangeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggs50 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hansen, Dorsett, Burrows, Richardson, Mathias. Our pk should be top 10 once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimerez Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Our PK should be fine. I'm just curious to see if Desjardins can fix the PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I would trade Burrows and Hansen to mtl for PK. Bergevin hangs up the moment he hear's 'P'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
