Sutter is barely adequate, let alone elite. Vittuzzi? Really? You know who are 2 very different players? Bertuzzi and Virtanen oldnews is crazy sutter is garbage dam elite thats ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 With 4 games against California teams this week, yeah Anaheim is walking dead and LA is kinda middling at best but still they are big teams, I'd very much like to see Big Mac in the lineup a couple times. He's a big body, physical, and a pretty solid skater these are the perfect kind of games for a player of his stature. Undrafted, somewhat older, over looked player in the system. Definitely could see him his style of play working very nicely against teams like LA and San Jose. Anaheim might come back somewhat renewed. The GM is now the interim coach. Might play a little harder with him on the bench I dunno. Either way, it'd be really nice to see him slot in for a couple games here. Since it sounds like Eagle isn't gonna be out super long. Big Mac's not incredibly young so we should really be trying to see what we have with him exactly and the best way to see that is with some game action at the NHL level. Only problem would be trying to figure out who sits. Motte, Jake and Goldy are really the only 3 I could see Green taking out. I think Goldy played pretty well last game though.

canuktravella Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 i think a virtanen horvat mcewen line with goldy petersson boeser will give teams fits really nice top 6 looking forward to the deadline i wander who will be on team for the playoffs d corp edler tanev hughes guddy hutton stecher brisebois or will one of tanev guddy be gone sutter eriksson are either gone at deadline or around july 1st even if we retain half erikssons salary gaudette will be our third line center by sept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceGeorgeGoon Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I'm just hoping petey gets points. Maybe we should bring flowers for Karlsson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotasfan Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I often wonder if the Canucks idea of “rewarding “ young players from Utica is flying them to Vancouver to watch an NHL game. Kinda a mini vacation for doing a good job. Do they serve drinks and ordurves in the press box ? Beats Utica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duodenum Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 17 hours ago, oldnews said: I love Virtuzzi, but comparing him to Sutter is off imo - very different players - and a role that as good as JV is, he will probably never be able to play. Sutter is an elite shutdown center. JV is a developing two-way winger - I don't see the point in claiming he's 'better' than Sutter - or even those other wingers for that matter - again very different types of players. Was a high end shutdown center. Don't know what has happened to him this year. Injuries finally catching up to him? He doesn't have very good chemistry with his wingers either this year.

TheGuardian_ Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I wonder if a player was injured in the last game and they are keeping it under wraps. They called McEwen up around 2 hours after the last game, maybe Motte? It is just a strange time for a planned callup, 11:30 PM PT, 2:30 AM ET. More like an hour and a bit after the game. Injury or illness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would be a team full of your favourite “elite” type players like Sutter and Gudbranson who are paid big bucks on long term contracts. The game has passed Sutter by. We need to move him before other GMs fully realize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries finally catching up to him? He doesn't have very good chemistry with his wingers either this year. pretty sure he separated his shoulder this season.....and missed 30 games. I think he, Roussel and Virtanen make a great line, actually. Likewise with the Beagle, Motte (LE, Granny) line. Sutter is clearly not 100% - evident in his faceoff % which has fallen below 50% - but it's what he will bring in the next few years that really matters imo (present results don't really matter as much) - or a significant return if they decide to move him.
