Baertschi - Horvat - Boeser Eriksson - Sutter - Gagner Roussel - Beagle - Pettersson Schaller - Gaudette - Virtanen Granlund callups - Goldobin, Leipsic, Archibald, Dahlen Edler - Stecher Del Zotto -Tanev Hutton - Gudbranson Pouliot callups - Biega, Sautner, Hughes, Juolevi Markstrom Nilsson callup - Demko This is the most realistic line up. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 16 minutes ago, CrosbyGold said: Our lw depth is weak so those will probably be aging players. For Centers we will eventually have Horvat/Petterson/Gaudette/Sutter or Beagle RW we will eventually have Boeser/Lind/Virtanen/Archibald Current depth of LD (right handed d) is pretty weak as well. Schaller & Roussel play LW. Pettersson is also left handed. It will be natural to play himl at LW. As much as he played the hot side of the slot in the SHL & we will probably pull him to that side on the PP? Jake can also play LW, Gaunce, Granlund, Baer, Leipsic. We have depth. We have a question as to who will grab a prime time scoring role! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Zepp Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 1 hour ago, JamesB said: Even if guys like Gagner or Eriksson or Beagle or Roussel get outplayed in camp, there is no way the Canucks would waive those guys. In my opinion they would all clear waivers but it would be too embarassing for the Canucks to have those contracts in Utica. What?! If those players are outplayed, they can easily be waived and demoted. Why on earth would it be embarrassing to have developed a better player? Waivers and demotion is open to any player on the team not able to show they belong on the team. Players get waived and demoted all the time in the NHL. Claiming other teams waived players is not super common and the risk of losing a player to waivers is way overstated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgyfan Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Great depth with so many options for Green. I think the battles will continue throughout the season with a variety of lineup changes. I would like to see this lineup given a try... Baer Bo Boes Rousell Sutter Virtanen Pettersson Beale Eriksson Schaller Gaudette Granlund Gagner Edler Guddy MDZ Tanev Pouliot/Hutton Stech *If Hughes makes the team, he replaces MDZ and I think they carry 8dmen until they can decide which of the 3 LD will be moved.

Schmautzie Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Pettersson often played the right point on the PP in Sweden. I’d like to see Green try him there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would play him with Baertschi (who he centred in Abbotsford) and Boeser. Horvat could centre Pettersson and Eriksson. That would give the team two scoring lines and not force Sutter into an offensive role that he’s not suited for. Makes sense because Horvat and Eriksson could help shelter Pettersson as he adjusts to the NHL and Baer and Boeser could in a sense shelter Granlund who has some weaknesses at centre.

Hairy Kneel Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 my choice to waive who have the most likely chance to clear waivers-- Gagner, Gaunce, Hutton, Biega Gambling if we waive-- Goldy, Archie, Kids who may earn a spot-- OJ, Hughes, EP, Palmu (darkhorse candidate) IR-- Leipsic-- get him to skate into the boards real hard at the end of training camp cause he's so fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ward wanted Baer with the puck and felt that a right shot C was best to get it to him quickly. Over their whole time in the Calgary system Baer-Granlund only had 2 goals where both had a point. Btw Green kept on being asked why not Granlund with the Sedins and said that he didn't see Granlund as a top-6 scorer. He said he talked to him about it.

I think he would rather endure the embarrassment of sending Gagner down than losing a young asset like Goldobin or Leipsic on waivers for nothing. First of all, everyone has their panties in a knot, JB is not going to wave Goldobin or Leipsic over Gagner. He will use the old trick of injury reserve Toronto uses it all the time.

Texx Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 There are so many players looking for spots, the one i am pulling for maybe the most is Goldobin. He looked like he really figured out something near the end of the year last year. This team could really use his skillset on the 2nd line or perhaps top line with Bo and Brock. I hope he has a good camp. Goldobin Gaudette Pettersson could be pretty deadly on the same line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilduce39 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Every time I try to play the lineup game I quit. Maybe this time... Baer-Bo-Brock Leipsic-Granlund/Gagner-Pettersson Roussel-Sutter-Eriksson Schaller-Beagle-Virtanen 13/14th: Goldobin, Granlund/Gagner AHL: Gaudette, Gaunce, Archibald, Boucher, Dahlen, Gadjovich, Lind, Mott, Palmu, McEwen Edler-Gudbranson Hutton-Tanev MDZ-Stecher 7th: Pouliot AHL: Hughes, Juolevi, Biega Markstrom Nielson AHL: Demko Comets would be absolutely stacked and we’d have a lot of options for call-ups. If Gaudette/Gaunce come in like gangbusters to camp then maybe Goldobin or Granlund get waived/traded or even Gagner gets bought out. On D, if Hughes or Juolevi make the team same goes for Hutton, Pouliot or MDZ. Barring someone trading for our scraps (unlikely) some guys are going to be put on waivers. Oh well. I do like the competition this camp is creating and that extends down to Utica to see who lands the first call ups when the inevitable injuries start to stack up!
