Allt svartnar Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Nicknames should turn up naturally, not be fabricated by over-eager fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Meh. Not really feeling the VPD thing. A bit too loaded imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Industrious1 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 None of these nicknames ever seem to stick...or even see the light of day in the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 VPD is better. Vey is not an enforcer but we got the V in there. Veys like the cool cop that lets you off with a warning haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshuaGuy Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Either way, I've been on these forums for nearly a decade. I've seen versions of this thread every year and I don't think any have ever caught on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I'll be intrigued to see if they're on the same line or whether WD wants to split them up to give our kids more support and "mentorship" in the bottom-6. They're both going to be good character mentor-type guys for our bottom-6, while we've got great top-6 mentors like the Sedins, Burrows and Higgins. Benning and WD have talked a lot about letting kids play with veterans who will groom and mentor them best. If that's really what they want out of a lineup, I'd go with something like this: Sedin - Sedin - Virtanen (not going to happen, but he'd learn a lot from the twins) Baertschi - Sutter - Vbrata (Vbrata and Baertschi had instant chemistry last season and would be the perfect role model for the kid, they play almost an identical game) Shinkaruk - Horvat - Burrows (Shinkaruk is essentially a mini-Burrows and he'd be the perfect mentor for the kid, plus all 3 are relatively clutch scorers) Higgins - Vey - Dorsett (Higgins is a great 2-way player who I think Vey would learn a lot from, and Dorsett can be our tough guy. We don't need 2 any one game) Hansen Prust I know Virtanen and Shinkaruk aren't going to make the lineup next season, but if you want to be in a transition phase that's one way to do it. Sedins-Virtanen, Baertschi-Vbrata, Shinkaruk-Burrows, Vey-Higgins are the best kid-mentor tandems we can form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
