Rabbit Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Just compare Loui and Big Mac: Cap room Loui > Big Mac Speed Loui < Big Mac Grit Loui < Big Mac Damage teammates Loui > Big Mac Good with Bo's wing I don't know at the moment. Conclusion: Play Big Mac to-morrow seeing what Big Mac is suitable for Bo's line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancaster Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 12 hours ago, Russ said: Green is done with Goldy and Baer since they aren't great 200 foot players. I highly doubt we will ever see those guys back here again unless we are decimated by injuries. I want to see them, Bo needs someone with some offensive punch but Green is too hell bent on making sure everyone has to be D first. Actually Baer has been a very responsible player since he was sent down to Utica the first time years ago. When draft, Sven was not great defensively, played on the perimeter more and was soft. Since then he focused a lot of his game on defense, he buzzes around the net and battle hard for pucks.... just concussions has derailed him big time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zack will too.. just needs time.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I'm surprised they're not giving Baer or Goldy another chance. Top-6 winger goes down, they call up a bottom-6 grinder? I think Baertschi at the very least deserves another chance to play with Bo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, my issue is Sven not getting a proper shot at showing he could play in the NHL this year, 6 games is a small sample size...2pts in those games isn't horrible either. He needed more time to get used to the faster pace and intensity of the game. I am a bit surprised Coach Green has been so hesitant to give him that chance, known Sven for a long time...maybe he is trying to protect him from the large players and faster game and not getting concussed again. But that could easily happen in the AHL too. I will never understand why Sven is not on the Canucks roster, its hogwash to say he can't play on the 3rd line or be decent addition to the 2nd PP unit. He may not be top 6 on our current roster but when we are slumping he could be injected onto Bo's line. It is what it is at this point, I am disappointed how it has played out for Sven that's for sure! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 17 hours ago, Wilbur said: Rather Loui be the 14th forward than someone who has more developing to do. But yeah, imo he's 15th in pecking order for forwards. IF there is ever 100% health, he could face waivers. Highly unlikely that'll happen though. We shouldn’t be carrying 14 forwards At all, we have only been doing that because of Loui. For years we have been carrying 8 D instead. It can only help development to platoon guys up to spend time with the big club, they they don’t have to stay for so long they get stunted on playing time. A guy like Rafferty could benefit greatly by having a few stints with the big club practising and getting used to the environment in preparation for actually getting g an injury call up and playing later in the season.

Zack will too.. just needs time.. has all the tools for what? who is he going to bypass on the depth chart for the top 6 in 2 seasons? If Zack was able to become a staple on the 3rd line that would be amazing for him imo. Bo also worked his way up from the 4th line btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has struggled throughout his NHL career to play healthy and develop consistency. He has been waived 2X now with no one taking him. If he continues to produce in Utica a team might pick him up come the TDL. Playoff hockey is a much heavier game and Baer would likely not stand up to it. I question Stecher & Tanev as well.

Please god, don't let Green diddle with those two lines they are carrying the team. I think this might be another chance for Pearson-Bo-Loui. Louie has had his chances for how long now? Miller Pettersson Boeser Pearson Horvat Macewan Roussel Gaudette Virtanen Motte Beagle Sutter Schaller What do all of those players have over louie?

Enjoy the AHL then Z Mac no, but invoking Reaves just puts too much pressure on him imo, he's not an enforcer. He could end up being very good on the forecheck tho. Its like when people around here thought Archibald was the answer to our team toughness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure you can put Mac in Leivo's spot, but as of now Loui is a better playmaker than Zac, which is what Bo's line needs more than hitting, imo. Sutter is a better fit there than Mac if he's healthy too. Edited December 21, 2019 by Jimmy McGill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
