westcoastsniper Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Hope Pearson can solidify his spot on Bo's wing and get around 20+ goals next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of these threads can get a bit off topic at times, but so long as it doesn't stay off topic for too long, it usually just eventually routes back to the player it's supposed to, so I don't like to "over-moderate" it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson would be great in a third line role, but he's showing he can second line minutes (maybe best in shorter periods of time?) too, which is great. Pearson is a new and better version of Higgins. Not a bad thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be a deep line up and ideal IMHO. ? - Pete - Boesser ? - Horvat - ? Pearson - Gaudette - Leivo Roussel - Beagle - Virtanen EDIT: I guess this is why we likely see Baertschi back next year and back on Bo's wing. Could work if he stays healthy and they add a legit top six LW and RW. Exactly. Pearson has performed admirably, but I would love to see him forced down the chart - then we know we're deep. The only change I might make to your line up is putting Motte on the 4th line, he was solid. Put Virt on the second line and if he can't make it happen, part ways with him or maybe Leivo. Jake really shouldn't be a 4th line guy.. I think Sven is an ideal 2nd line wing, but unfortunately he's too fragile. Much like Tanev & Sutter, eventually he will need to be replaced.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Sven but he isn't durable enough and as we have seen in the recent playoff games, it's different than the regular season and is much more physical - love playoff hockey. I think Virtanen could play a simple game with Roussel and Beagle and gain some confidence and hopefully move up the lineup. He could learn a lot from those two. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It puts him right back into his career’s average numbers. He got more comfortable last two weeks of season and ended up with 12 points in 19 games and even with the slow start that is a 52 point pace. In today’s NHL that is solidly top 6. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Petey is the type of center, unlike McDavid, who would make Lucic better. Petey slows the game down, and sees the ice better than Connor. I don't know if Milan has the fitness and aerobic capacity to play every shift with Petey though. But I could see Milan playing 12 minutes 5 on 5 with Petey and Bess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinky-Winky Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) id rather have lucic ( like his rough hard nose style ) which is something we need. Plus i hate lou so much ill take that trade, atleast lucic has a mean streak and can help smarten up some players who take advantage of petey and our other smaller players ( hughes etc ) Plus lucic is a BC boy, bring him home so he can retire in BC Edited June 13, 2019 by Dave "The Hammer" Schultz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
