Hairy Kneel Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I really like our line up better with Gaudette and Big Mac THAT FIGHT THOUGH! Where do we find roster spots.. Schaller for sure, put Baers on LITR til next year? Hopefully get a draft pic for Sutter Also--maybe retain $$ on Eriksson and trade him as a 4th line checker Depth forward for a playoff team.

Where'd Luongo? Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 4th liner and I like him. Get him out there, hit some guys, make a play, get in a fight. My kinda guy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Spooner coming he likely expects to return to Utica and wanted to leave an impression with Green. He has shown very well but I prefer he is playing big TOI in Utica not riding the bench in Vancouver. He will be back next year and will likely stay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are in a playoff push in March...I think they bring him back up...they may not even send him down if we still have Jake, Sutter and Baer still out. Next year he is a full time player!

MacEwen and Gaudette both deserve spots on this team. Leivo-Pettersson-Boeser Goldy-Horvat-MacEwen Roussel-Gaudette-Virtanen Eriksson-Beagle-Sutter Motte We need to allocate money to the top lines, not have $14 million in cap space tied up to the 4th line. We need a couple solid additions to play with Horvat, that's where the money needs to be spent. Eriksson and Sutter hopefully can find a new home in the summer. Huberdeau Horvat Stone Leivo Pettersson Boeser Roussel Gaudette Virtanen Motte Beagle MacEwen Spooner Twi high scoring lines where most of the cap space is allocated and then two grinding in your face lines. We need to cut the cheque to get Stone at all costs, he would be a perfect winger for Horvat and would play on our first power play unit. Huberdeau is apparently available for the right price and can be that speedy winger to complement BO and Stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone is worth more, but for us I am not so sure we need either more than Joulevi and a prospect and a pick... We need 2-3 high end D to come on board and we just might have all 3 as it sits....Hughes and Joulevi will both make the team, probably out of training camp and Woo will only need one more year of junior before he becomes our best D. prospect in Utica and gets some call up time. MacEwen and Gaudette and maybe Dahlen will provide enough to offset not getting Huberdeau and we are never going to get Stone anyway, he will stay put or go to a contender for multiple picks and prospects. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eriksson is untradeable and Sutter may be tradeable but not for a lot and he may serve us better on the wing of a defensive line as C depth then the 3rd we might get for him. Huberdeau would be a great add but we don't have the pieces to acquire him at this stage in the rebuild. Not opposed to trying to sign Stone but need to be careful going forward with how much of our cap we tie up in UFA signings. Canucks need to build from within by drafting and developing. Having an expensive 4th line doesn't really matter if they're shutting down other teams top lines while the team as a whole is below the cap limit. Keep Sutter on the wing next season as some C depth and then trade him next deadline when he only has another year on his contract. Convince Seattle to take Eriksson due to his high cap low salary and boom! That expensive 4th line your complaining about disappears within 2 years.

Stone will be a UFA. We can sign him for free. Not saying he would come to Vancouver but not a lot of contenders are going to have the cap space to sign him long term. Juolevi had major knee surgery this year, he's not going to make the club out of training camp. If we re-sign Edler to a 3-4 year deal then we would have Edler, Hutton and Hughes on the left side. No room for Juolevi. If Tanev sticks around as well as Stecher and Woo comes into the fold with the possibility of Tryamkin coming back in a year then there is no room for Juolevi on the right side either. I have no problem waiting for Juolevi to develop and he could very well be a good top 4 Dman one day, but we need help up front, we need legit top 6 wingers who can play with BO. We don't have any right now on the roster. So that is why I propose Huberdeau and Stone, to speed up the rebuild. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I agree. He could be a guy who plays with Pettersson 5 on 5, just to keep the game honest. I had no idea he could fight like that. He could be a nuclear deterrent, that rarely fights, much like Guddy. Having two destroyers in the lineup every game would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
