NHL97OneTimer Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Lots of players that you don't want to lose to waivers or expansion but they really don't fit on an solid playoff team (Etem, Granlund, Grenier, likely Rodin and even Dorsett). Also lots of potential on the blue line but guys will have to declare themselves as breakout players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to clear waivers his #rd pro season..Teams would pick him up quick.. So big mean 6'5 220lbs, 22yrs old will be a spare...I would hate to lose him for nothing...Speed, nasty mean, just needs more time to develop... Yeah, I may be a minority here, but I would like to see the Canucks not worry about the standings again this year and really work on developing some guys with great potential. This isn't to say they should try to lose but I'd like to see them consider the roster in 3 years time and determine who has the most potential at that point. Pedan may not be ready yet but the potential for a diamond in the rough is there. The Canucks have never had a Pronger / Shea Weber type player. Pedan will likely never have that potential but he has some similarities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHL97OneTimer Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Sedin - Sedin - Eriksson Baertschi - Horvat - Virtanen Burrows - Sutter - Hansen Dorsett - Gaunce - Etem Edler - Tanev Hutton - Gudbranson Tryamkin - Sbisa Pedan (D or 4th line) Larsson Stecher Miller Markstrom Sent down: Granlund, Rodin (SEL) I'm hoping for this anyway......this would still be a youth movement which I'm fine with but time will tell if WD can handle it. There's some serious potential with the long-term outlook on defense and I don't think JB will want to lose any of them to waivers / expansion so that will have to be taken into account (which I don't fully understand at this point). This team is still weak on the forward lines though. JB is quietly building something decent here though I think given the D and G positions.

Not tooting my own horn or anything, but so far this prediction is looking pretty accurate. Not sure how injured Virt is and Etem is no lock in that spot but I don't think this will be far off from what we're seeing right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 After watching a few games Sedin-Sedin-Eriksson Baertschi-Horvat-Hansen Burrows-Sutter-Rodin Gaunce-Granlund-Dorsett (Etem) As much as I want Jake on the team I feel he is better suited in Utica playing 20 mins a night and learning from Green. Hopefully he develops his offensive game Edler-Tanev Hutton-Guddy Sbisa-Larson (Tryamkin-Pedan) Miller Marky However if we think that his roster is complicated just wait till next year. Juolevi and Stecher pretty much locks to be seriously pushing for spots. we have Boeser leaving college for Van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancity87 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 From what I have seen during the pre-season I think this will be the opening day roster. Pedan will be waived, Etem will be waived, Virtanen will start in the A, due to injury and other players having a good camp. I can also see Granland playing his was on to the third line as a left winger. Burrows can pay the 4th line. Gaunce will get in when other players get injured or to mix up the group after a bad game. But he will not be starting on opening day. Stretcher has essentially taken Pedan's spot and has outplayed Larson so he will start. They will keep Larson on the team in case Stretcher starts to fall off. Sedin - Sedin - Eriksson Baertschi - Horvat - Hansen Burrows - Sutter - Rodin Granland - Rutuu - Dorsett Gaunce Edler - Tanev Hutton - Gudbranson Sbisa - Stretcher Tryamkin - Larson Miller Markstrom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckledraggin Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 After watching the 4th pre-season game and the World Cup my lineup would look like this...It's a Daniel Henrik Sutter Baertschi Horvat Eriksson Rodin Granlund Hansen Etem/Burrows/Dorsett Gaunce Zalewski Edler Tanev Hutton Gudbranson Sbisa/Tryamkin Larsen Pedan !st line Sutter gets offside draws and he's a shoot 1st player 2nd line Eriksson puts those 2 young greats under his wing 3rd line Granlund and Rodin are playmakers and Rodin and Hansen are speedy finishers with a 2-way game. 4th line Gaunce and Zalewski are center slash wingers and they both can skate, play physical and are used on the PK. Etem Burrows and Dorsett should be fighting for the 13th forward spot. All of the 8 defensemen are deserving of a shot. Stetcher is 9, Biega is 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Rodin has been brilliant everywhere he's played but I think he'd benefit most from a big strong center (Horvat or Sutter) and a skilled winger. He really needs a playmaker to help set up that wicked quick shot of his. Please don't burry him with Granlund, Dorsett, Burrows or Etem and waste his skill. This guy along with Baertschi and the Sedins are our only purely skilled forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliasSkywalker Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 My 23-man starting roster for the season... D. Sedin - H. Sedin - Eriksson Baertschi - Horvat - Rodin Burrows - Sutter - Hansen Ruutu - Gaunce - Dorsett Granlund Edler - Tanev Hutton - Gudbranson Sbisa - Stecher Pedan - Tryamkin Miller Markstrom I have Rodin, Gaunce and Stecher making the team. Although Labate has shown really well pre-season, it is toss-up decision as to whether Ruutu or Labate makes the team - I choose Ruutu as the only PTO to make cut: sign Ruutu for 1 yr contract. Trade Etem or put on waivers. Send Labate, Virtanen, Biega, Larsen to Utica but these guys provide good depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen and Rodin and Tryamkin are NHL or bust they won't report to the minors. Pedan needs to be kept on the squad. Next to Gudbransson he is the most physical player on the team in terms of willingness to hit and fight and play physical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atillaMYhun Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Gaunce is going to be on the roster I don't see what alot of people here see in Etem, I never have. I think he needs to show more to be an NHL regular Labate is an early call-up I don't know why anyone's roster would have Larsen in the top 6 (other than the hype). The guy hasn't shown much. From WD comments post game yesterday it sounds like Burrows spot is a lock. I thought Skille had been the best of the PTO's but Ruutu was good last night and may have passed him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DudePerfect Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Sedin - Sedin - Eriksson Baertschi - Horvat - Rodin Granlund - Sutter - Hansen Gaunce - Ruutu - Dorsett Edler - Tanev Hutton - Gudbranson Sbisa - Larsen Miller Markstrom Extra forward: Burrows Extra Dmen: Pedan & Tryamkin Virtanen hurt his chances of making the team with his injury, and Granny & Rodin playing well this preseason. Let him rip it up in utica in a first line role Etem just isn't cutting it Ruutu looks real good, i think he's done more than burr to earn a spot this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darinbadershouldamadeit Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Ok, I have liked/endured Dorsett, but I would rather have Ruutu. What would you guys think of jettisoning Burrows and Dorsett for Ruutu and a youngster? He is a little older but players like Dorsett are easier to replace.

MrCanuck94 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 D. Sedin - H. Sedin - Eriksson Baertschi - Horvat - Rodin Virtanen - Sutter - Hansen Labate - Gaunce - Dorsett Etem/Burrows/Granlund Edler - Stetcher Hutton - Gudbranson Tryamkin - Tanev Sbisa/Pedan Markstrom Miller Only reason I have Tanev on the third pair is to balance out the veteran and rookie pairs and since Edler and Stetcher seem to play well together, also Marky is my #1. If Bae, Bo and Rodin take some major steps this year along with our defense staying healthy with Hutton and Stetcher making strides, we could have an interesting team forsure.
