zduck14 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I want to see 17 simply because I still have a Kesler jersey that I'd like to get changed and I never thought it was worth it to get it changed to Vrbata since he only signed a 2 year deal. I think there would be a ton of jerseys being switched if he wore 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hansen with Horvat was amazing to watch. I think he should be Bo's mentor. Sedin Sedin Eriksson Baertschi Horvat Hansen When they start slipping off a bit change it up and put Hansen with the Sedins and Eriksson with Horvat. Our PP is going to be great next year I can't wait!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutter, Horvat, Hansen (or Horvat, Sutter, Hansen) would be a fast, hard-forechecking, hard-backchecking, line that could score. At that point, our top 6 would be potent enough that our bottom 6 could sort themselves out...maybe Gaunce moves back to centre to create a good checking line with Burrows, and Granlund stays at 4C to anchor the 'development line'.

But at that point you've weakened your C position unnecessarily cause Hansen would do just as well or better on that wing as Sutter (though I would argue he'd do better than Baertschi). I'm mostly just dreaming about loading up our top 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Granlund can step up his FO game, he could be a serviceable replacement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Thinking with Eriksson on their line, the Sedins might be giddy with excitement, and play like they're 3-4 years younger than they are. Can't wait to watch the SEL in action, gonna be a lot of pretty goals. A few unofficial retired jerseys on the Canucks. They've had some bad luck: 11 - Maki 28 - Bourdon 37 - Rypien 38 - Demitra But I'd be okay with Eriksson wearing #11. Hopefully his family would be too.

aqua59 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I didn't go through each post but has there been any response from Eriksson coming to Vancouver. I've not seen or heard anything. How badly did he want to come here out side the dough? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the key for whomever is playing with the Sedins is keep moving to an open spot. Eriksson is one tough mother on the boards, something people miss. Aside from scoring with the twins he may well be the best cycle guy they've played with. I'm looking forward to a possible different cycle. Can there be a refreshed cycle with a player like Eriksson coming on board? I'm thinking and hoping so.I still think gaining the zone first then cycling is the MO, but can things get changed up a bit with the talent of Eriksson?

Hairy Kneel Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I'd like to see Ericksson work with our young forwards on shooting drills...maybe what he sees is something basic that he could pass on to Virt/Baer/Granny heck even Horvat might like a little pointer or two. I don't think we utlized this aspect with Vrbata maybe we can with Ericksson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nave Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Eriksson was considered by some the most underrated player in the league in his Dallas days; and he just scored 30 goals, the second most he's had in a season (behind 36 in 2008-09). He could be a big boon for us. Don't know what TSN was thinking when they were like "what are the Canucks doing?" after we got Loui. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedinsforever Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Vancouver wanted part of the whole "Sign all the superstars!" frenzy. With a lot of the coveted players signed already, Eriksson was our best choice financially. 6yr/ 36mil seems like a lot, but he's done a lot of scoring this year with the Bruins. His chemistry with the Sedins in the Olympics is remarkable. We'll see how it goes at the NHL level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
