Sedin Sedin Hansen

Baertschi Horvat Virtanen

Etem Sutter Vrbata

Burrows Vey Dorsett

 

Edler Tanev

Hutton Sbisa

Bartkowski Biega

 

first line don't try to fix what isn't broken

I think this would work better, Baertschi & Horvat need some more physicality beyond horvat
Etem, Sutter and Vrbata all good off rush and gives Vrbata more physicality since he's soft

Burrows gives Vey some skill to work with while he can also cause havoc with dorsett  

defence is well done but Hutton is better on normal side, sbisa being a physical type of D and non-rookie is the better of the two on their off side

Looks like McCann and Cracknell might be the players out against CBJ

 

This will never be in WD mind as he is a stubborn old school set in his ways DINOSAUR of a coach

22-33-36 Keep as it working

47-53-18 Youth skill speed and tenacious and worked in a few games already so give it the last 30 to mesh

26-91-7 This will add some offense to a struggling offensive group and give the 3 a chance to score

14-21-15 Your typical 3rd line checking line that can play vs other teams top offensive lines and may pop 1 or 2

17 traded for a 1st so he can adapt to his new team and Crak being the 13th forward as he should be

AND Y NOT HAVE TWO YOUNG KID TYPE LINES

 

27-8 Could be a good 2nd pairing for a long time

23-5 May be scary but you never know and can change back to 23-8 / 27 - 5 if Edler is really that bad away from #8

44-55 Would like to see Pedan and Biega be our 3rd Pairing for remainder of season with Bart as the 7th

Exactly what I was thinking. I like this lineup. McCann can alternate in and out of the lineup with Vey. At least that's how it should be if WD allows it. God knows he loves him some Linden Vey. lol

If McCann is not in the lineup I don't even want to watch the game. In my opinion he has the highest upside of any of our prospects.

Free Willy and Vey now please.

Same here, McCann may be traded. There is no point in him not playing while Vrbata,Vey, and Burrows are playing regularly and not scoring. Etem hasn't helped Vey that much and is also not scoring. Cracknel should be on the 4 th line with Dorsett.

McCann does have huge potential but this coach wants to bring Vey along slowly and maybe get rid of McCann. Maybe Willy doesn't want anyone to out shine his Vey.

Edmonton will try to get McCann if we are not careful. Benning should give Edmonton a deal to take Vey, not McCann.

Why would McCann be traded? McCann hasn't shown he deserves ice time over Vey. And McCann hasn't been scoring either. Regardless how you personally feel about Vey, he's been doing well. It makes perfect sense to have those 2 alternate on the 4th. If McCann was better on faceoffs, he'd see more time on ice. I won't be surprised to see McCann go to Utica next year to give him a full year to put on size and develop strength.

Other teams have rated McCann very high .Willy has purposely not allowed him to shine. He likes to bring certain guys along slowly like Vey who is now 24. McCann will get bigger sitting on the sidelines. He should be playing and developing. He would be playing if he was in Edmonton. Sad for McCann who is being held back by this coach.

Having Dorsett play with Sutter and Virtanen is interesting. That's essentially a HUGELY improved Prust-Cracknell-Dorsett line. With a little less fist fighting and a lot more hits. Should be a high energy 3rd line that gets pucks on net at the very least. Having Hansen, Virtanen, Horvat, and Etem all split up is smart too. No matter who is on the ice, the other team is gonna have to be aware of the speed they can generate.

McCann gets 2 games in and one game out, same with Virtanen. WD and JB both stated this earlier this year.

He also hasn't been playing well. You shouldn't reward guys with ice time they don't deserve. What does that say about our organization.

If McCann wants to play more he needs to be better which is hard for him to do with his size hence why he sits games for conditioning work.

I think more than anything they recognize McCann is not a 4th line player. Unfortunately, there's just no room higher up. Right now, he's the most likely replacement for Sedin in a couple years. Put him in Utica next season with top line minutes and 1st unit powerplay and he'll develop there too. He made the jump from juniors to nhl and after 50 games, he's played 44 of them. It's not like he's been left out a whole lot.
