Popular Post Kobayashi Maru Posted September 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2019 Rafferty is clearly comfortable at the NHL level. Wonder if he beats out Fantenberg as the 7th defenceman and I wonder if that’s the right thing for him. He certainly seems to deserve being on the NHL club. 2 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Maru Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 We have so much depth I wonder if we make a trade. We certainly have the flexibility to do so. I still feel our top six is set at: Ferland Pettersson Boeser Baertschi Horvat Miller Then so many options after that. Maybe the following: Pearson Sutter Virtanen Eriksson Beagle Gaudette That would be an extremely solid bottom six. Leivo, Goldobin, Motte all battle for the 1-2 extra forwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loui has been the best player on his line, three games running. I was not buying Gaudette as 3rd star tonight. Nice that he scored though and he did look better tonight. Levo is looking like he might find himself in the same position in Van this year as he was last year on TO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I really hope Baer stays healthy this year. Guy should have been a 3 time 20 goal scorer by now. I’m rooting fo Goldie but in my option that Baers spot on the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Coconuts Posted September 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2019 Given how he's played so far I'd be very surprised if Loui wound up in Utica. He's been solid and productive thus far and this is the last season we can send Gaudette down without needing waivers. Sending hockey Gaud down to Utica to tear things up is bittersweet but likely an easy decision for management to make. 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ROFL This is getting epic To be fair, the oilers didn't have any of their top 3 players (McDavid, Draisaitl, and Nuge) or top 2 defensemen (unless Klefbom is supposed to be one of their top 2. I'd consider Larsson and Nurse their top 2). Nice to see us put up a dominant performance on the score sheet though. As John pointed out in the first period though, we were outshot 7-2 to start. I have felt like our team has been out-hustled overall in each of the games in the preseason so far though (we obviously had the better 3rd period in that regard this game though, regardless of score) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very familiar with how terrible Edmonton is Good solid game from Marky too. I'm going to just remain extremely optimistic. What's the worst that could bring? Disappointment? God knows I have a high tolerance for that after all these years rooting on the Canucks! Edited September 20, 2019 by BrockBoester 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully once we start to narrow down to a cohesive lineup that the pace will pick up. I was really annoyed last season when we would start sluggish out the gate for games.

Junkyard Dog Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Gaudette had a better game. I thought most of our forwards were above average. We just faced a terrible lineup. Brisebois had his best game and has been the best defenseman out of the AHL group throughout the preseason. He's so smooth he reminds me of Tanev when he first started out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameburn Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) 3 hours ago, stawns said: Ferland Petey Boeser Pearson Bo Miller Baer Sutter Virtanen LE Beagle Motte Leivo Eriksson will not be on this team. Roussel is an important part of this team and has to be in that top 12, when he is fit to play. The fact he happens to be injured to start the season doesn't mean he isn't in their keeper forward group. This bumps somebody down or out. Roussel and Leivo are locks to go along with Beagle -- and the top-9 we all know is pretty clear. Schaller was great with Beagle and Motte tonight. Goldobin, Gaudette, and Motte are all higher in the team's plans than Eriksson. If Gaudette continues to show offensive prowess of any kind in the games running up to the final cuts (and continues to kill penalties and improve) he will be the 13th forward. And if he doesn't, then either of Goldobin or Schaller will do something to assure their spot. There is no longer room for Eriksson, which is not surprising as this was the plan all along: why else would JB bring in Miller, and Ferland? I've read in a number of places that "dumping Loui in the minors would be bad for future UFA signings." Why? If he is genuinely not in the top 12 for play (remember Roussel is the twelfth player, 13th is up in the air still), then mgt can send him down with a clear conscience and no issue with any future UFA or his agent. No potential UFA thinks he'll stink bad enough to be sent down with 2 years left in his contract. (or is it 3 years, can't remember. lol.)
