Who would You Rather See in Vancouver this Season, Ferland or McEwen?

[logic]

This is a stupid thread.

ferland is a proven top 9 gritty forward, I like macewen a lot but he MIGHT become what Ferland is if we’re lucky

You're comparing an established NHL player with back to back 40 point seasons with a rookie who has played a total of 4 NHL games?

 

C'mon...

My thoughts exactly 

[Darius]

Why cant we have both?

 

Zack can start on the fourth line.  We potentially have grit and toughness on each line now.  We can take it to the other team.  We dont have to wait for one guy (dorsett or Gudbranson) to be reactive...

Are you a Tampa Bay Lightning fan? Just check the numbers that both have managed to produce in the NHL and their ages.

What does are you talking about?  What does wanting Zack McEwen to play with the Canucks next year have to do with the TBL?

Um, yeah. The question was not whether you want Zack McEwen to play with the Canucks. It was an OR question.

Oh, didn't understand.  Not a TBL fan.  Would like to see more young guys given a chance to develop.  I think Zack Could handle it.

FWIW, I like Zack as well. Great story. I hope he has a long career with the Canucks.

I'd prefer the one who's an NHL player.

[189lb enforcers?]

I don’t understand the question.

ZM is most likely a career bubble player. He showed well on a pathetic roster devoid of any physicality and starving fans saw that and... bam, the guy is challenging MF for a spot. 

Just goes to show, and I am the captain of them, that fans are that desperate for size and grit to make the team. 

 

I kind of had a feeling the westerner would come back.

Happy Firkland is here, ... just a bit late though, JB... all of this, but giver balls!

Id like to see Ferland riding shotgun with Petey and Boes. He was a complete pain in the ass in the series with Calgary in 2014.

now if we can sign Boeser we are set for the season. If we can rid ourselves of Eriksson we are a step ahead.

MacEwen will  get a shot in the year as well.

I agree.. like a modern day Semenko

Exactly Ferland is a proven top six minute player.  Big Mac would be in our bottom six.  Having to choose only one or the other is kind of silly.  

I like both in their spots

[ItTakesAnArmy]

Both may happen.

When Ferland suffers his 6th concu er, upper body injury Mac could fill in.

 

Remember all Sven's "upper body injuries" and then the big reveal, concussions to the extent that he may be finished.

[spur1]

Looks like Ferland will be in the lineup. Big Mac will ride shotgun for the prospects in Utica and provide depth for the Canucks.

I heard today on the radio that the Canucks are close to signing Ferland.  I think I would like to see Zack McEwen instead.  What do you think?

Why not both?

I was about the say the exact same thing. lol

 

Who in their right mind would argue against having both? That's what I don't get.

[The Lock]

Hey guys, should we have Pettersson or Boeser on the lineup? 

[mpt]

Get rid of Eriksson and Sutter and have both

Why not both?  Could the Canucks possibly have a better team than the 2010 team? It sure looks like they'll be tougher to play against anyway.

 

Ferland - Pettersson - Boeser

Pearson - Horvat - J.T. Miller

Leivo - Gaudette - Virtanen

Roussel - Beagle - MacEwen

Motte

 

Edler - Myers

Hughes - Tanev

Benn - Stecher

Fantenberg

 

Markstrom

Demko

 

 

 

This.. zack can find a home on 3rd and as he develops further he could sub in top 6 as injuries happen.. unavoidable in a physical sport so it's cool we have 3rd line players with 2nd line talent that just need to hone their game at present..
