Popular Post -Stammer- Posted June 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2019 as a Lightning fan I loved watching this guy play. Put him with Horvat, Petey or Boes and he'll fit in great imo. His versatility is also important given everyone on our team gets injured throughout the year 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Fingers Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 218 lbs. Horvat has to be close to 220, add Pearson or Virtannen and that is a meaty line. Then role out Baer, EP40 and Brock as the potatoes!! Skillz galore. Tougher top.6 now with Miller. Added plus, played 82 games 4 years in a row. Scoring 20g plus 3 times. In 2 years Podz comes in... Keppen, Gadz... sounds like JB is building around Ep40. Smart move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanless Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 It's nice knowing we now have at the very least a solid second line. A heavy one at that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 #10 and 12 are retired #s, he briefly wore 47 but that is sven's #. Maybe he chooses #15, the position he was taken in round 1? I think he wore the #11 for the US...god that number should be removed from the Canucks list forever, please dont choose #11...former Ranger and all with the Moose past that would suck! see #11 on a Canuck jersey again...yes bitter from 94' bitter about that horrible signing of him and Keenan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Sounds like Benning is done with finding forwards, concentrating now on getting 1-2 Ds. What will the Top 6 look like next season? Baertschi - Pettersson - Boeser Pearson - Horvat - J.T. Miller ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we don't need a whole line up of big guys, it's certainly going to help to bring him in. Look, the word's out on Petey and we need a couple of guys with size who can be a bit of a deterrent. Plus he takes face offs. And has good jump and seems like a bit of an unselfish player. Just saw the energy video, above (after posting)....yep, I like this a lot. Deb always like your take on things, level headed and appreciative. I like this a lot too. That was after almost choking when I heard the trade but that reaction was based on me thinking we were still a few years away BECAUSE we didn’t have a player like him in the lineup. Now I’m stoked and can’t wait for the season to start. The cost was always going to be high (cap with UFAs or a core player) ... the more I learn about this guy the more happy with the actual cost. I like our core and don’t want to lose Boeser or Horvat ... and maybe a little back...for a lateral move. This is a big boost, with Podz and future ascension of the core, I’d say we are pretty much sorted with our top six for a very long time. Defense defense defense as the remainder of the focus and we are in for a long ride...on paper I think we are at least on par with the WCE team in two years or less, which is no small accomplishment (probably the third best team we’ve ever had) equal or better top six, better goaltending, worse defense. Can’t wait to see what Benning can manage next. Fingers crossed for either Myers or Gardiner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add a player like him to their lineup and they will produce ... it might take a month to click but when it does watch out. Now EP and Boeser have a mucker along the boards to get the puck back to them whose skilled enough to make the pass to them when he does on a regular basis. And he can wreak havoc infront of the net. He does all the little things right too and is defensively responsible. Heck he can even take the OF draws and win more often just to keep possession. Things are looking up...

Miller-EP-Boeser Pearson-Bo-Virtanen -sorry to Baer but that is my top 6. Virtanen might be a stretch but I am hoping this is his breakout year with 50 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just needs to gain Green's trust and work on his shot and how he drives to the net with the puck...that can lead to quite a few of his goals imo. Also being a net front presence on a PP unit would help also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make sense, but I believe they were intending to upgrade Bo's RW this off season. I wonder if they might sign a UFA? I don't mind the idea of Gaudette getting a shot there. Not sure what their plans are for Goldobin and Virtanen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT shoots left though...and EP needs help to get back to what he was doing at the beginning of the year, this would be a huge upgrade with what he’s had to work with so far and could help elevate their games ( Boeser too). Plus he’s better at draws which would help them keep possession in the offensive zone. Definitely he’d help Horvats line too, but so will adding Bear back on the off wing, he did it with the Sedins as others have pointed out.. Of course if Bennings not finished adding it’s anyone’s guess as to what will happen, heck he can even stay on the third line and do his thing there and the PK...sure useful to have a guy that can play all three forward positions. Exciting times to be a Canucks fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT Miller Petey Boeser Pearson Horvat Lee What a top 6 that would be lol.

That's a playoff-level top 6 if Baer is healthy and Pearson is the old Pearson from LA's glory days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
