Blue_Jays_Canucks Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Here's my personal opinion, maybe some of you have a different one? Locks: Edler Hutton Gudbrandson Sbisa Tanev Larsen We're left with 3 players battling for the 7th spot: Biega Tryamkin Pedan Likely defense for next year: Edler- Tanev Hutton- Gudbrandson Sbisa- Larsen Tryamkin Biega Between these 3, I would say Pedan is most likely to start in the AHL. But I think he will be the first call up after an injury. Tryamkin for the 7th and Biega as our 8th D? Random thought- Will this cause Tryamkin to go back to Russia? Thoughts? Anyone I've missed?

sampy Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Edler Tanev Hutton Gudbranson Sbisa Larsen Tryamkin Pedan Biega is going to the minors. Likely won't be claimed so will be good for call up. Pedan would get claimed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Why leave Tryamkin out?He's arguably one of our toughest hitters.And covers a lot of territory. You want to send him back to Russia?Are you crazy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a lot of discussion already on this point, including various threads on line-up issues. The Canuck brass has already indicated the intention to go with Edler, Tanev, Hutton and Guddy so that is not in doubt. Given Tryamkin's contract (back to the KHL if he does not stick with Canucks) and given his pretty solid play at the end of last season and his size and potential, he is also a lock to start with the team. So I agree with Hairy on this one. Sbisa will start out in the 3rd pairing and Larsen will get a look. That makes 7 guys. As Pedan is waiver-eligible and would likely to be picked up if put on waivers, he is the 8th man. Biega will be placed on waivers but will not be claimed and will start the season in Utica. After that things are fluid. As numb3r 16 points out, Larsen is not a lock to stay. He will get a look on the point on the PP, but I personally think he is a long shot to stick with the team. Sbisa is okay as a 3rd pairing guy, but I would not expect much improvement given his age and trajectory. It would not surprise me to see both Tryamkin and Pedan pass him on the depth chart. And we all like Hutton, but he could struggle with a sophomore jinx next year. He is not a lock to stay in the top 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I wonder is Hutton is a bit older than most rookies when they suffer from the sophomore slump, maybe he'll just breeze on right through and double his point totals from last year (1 can hope) I guess only time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyHatnDart Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Oh weird, this has turned into another "Sbisa sucks" thread. Watch the guy have a great year when he's playing in the position (5/6) he should be and is healthy. He was solid last year IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Our top-4 is a lock with Edler, Tanev, Hutton, Gudbranson. This leaves us with the third pairing which isn't a lock. Players include: Sbisa, Tryamkin, Larsen, Pedan, Biega. We shouldn't rule out on the possibility of Sbisa being dealt, especially if they feel the others players did extremely well in training camp.

Edler ..Tanev Hutton ..Gudbranson Tryamkin/Pedan..Larsen/Biega His contract isn't even that bad. It may be a little on the high side but nothing to get all up in arms about. Sbisa actually played decently last year when he wasn't injured. Edit: he would also most certainly be claimed and you can't possibly believe Biega is a better player?

Wouldn't like our emerging young D to use that comparable. Think Benning's improved since his first couple contracts, but I'm not crazy about this one.
