nitti999 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Chances of everyone healthy is low. But how does this potential line-up look? Too soft? miller-petey-boeser pearson-bo-toffoli leivo-Gaudette-jake rousel-sutter/beagle-motte edler-myers hughes-tanev fantengerg-stecher marky demko Could they even ice this lineup later in the season with the cap and still having Erickson on the books with Sven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I think we really need to figure out where Boeser fits in the lineup, since the team was switching him around to see where he might fit best. Jake could have utility on the first line, as along with Miller we would have two guys who can hound the puck and play with speed and who can finish with Pete. At this point, unless Toffoli really lights it up with Pearson and Bo (he very well could) I'd like for Boeser to play with the heavier Bo and Pearson. Then I'm sure that Toffoli, with his versatility and smarts, could thrive with another smart center in Gaudette (and I see Toffoli as an improved Leivo, and those two gelled earlier when they were on the same unit. Add Roussel to the group and we might have a good depth scoring line). P.S. I really hope they keep the big pair of Eddie and Myers together since 57 really needs help defensively. Eddie might be the best guy for that. If Tree comes back that would be icing on the 3rd pair, but yeah I'd go with Fantenberg and Stecher. Benn would be great depth for either side.

hammertime Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I mean the line up kinda writes its self Miller Pete Brock Pearsson Bo Toffoli Automatic Bottom 6 I think our shut down specialists are taking the lions share of the mins remaining here. Roussel Beagle/Sutter Virtanen 4th line at this point is kind of a utility line sleep on them and they will put the puck in your net try to over match them and they can keep the puck out of theirs. Motte Gaud/Beagle/Sutter Leivo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearing his cap could go a long way as to recouping a much more needed asset. If Benning can find positive value on Sutter with no cap coming back on next years team I’d hope he makes the deal. Teams won’t trade value for Sutter in the summer as they’ll just try and keep their assets and acquire a guy in free agency instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewbieCanuckFan Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I’m not worried up front. Pretty solid with some depth. On the defense, we are weak. Good depth of bottom pairing guys but really none in the top 4. Hopefully Benning makes this the top priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But JB said it’s about playing meaningful games down the stretch. Getting into the playoffs is a bonus for our young core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Everyone needs to chill with this playoff stuff. We've won 2 of the last 7, playoffs are far from guaranteed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patel Bure Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Miller-Pettersson-Virtanen Pearson-Horvat-Toffoli Roussel-Sutter-Eriksson Motte-Beagle-Gaudette MacEwan Edler-Stecher Hughes-Tanev Tryamkin-Myers Fantenberg Markstrom Demko Some advice: 1) Re-unite Pearson and Toffoli. If that doesn’t work, then switch Toffoli and Virtanen. 2) Do NOT use the Horvat line as a shutdown line. No more Eriksson on that line. Put Virtanen or Toffoli there and let them focus on scoring. 3) Use Roussel-Sutter-Eriksson as your shut down line. The Gaudette line with Roussel is useless. They don’t score much or shut down much. That 3rd line needs to be about something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
