Roberts Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Want to get everyone's thoughts on what you think the Canucks lineup will (or should) look like when hockey starts up again. With a healthy team, these lineups should look pretty solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 My Prediction for Greens lines. Miller-Petey-Toffoli Pearson-Horvat-Boeser Eriksson-Gaudette-Sutter Roussel-Beagle-Virtanen I would think Green would want a very defensive bottom 6. Puts two experienced vets with Gaudette. My Personal lineup Miller-Petey-Boeser Pearson-Horvat-Toffoli Roussel-Gaudette-Virtanen Motte-Beagle-Sutter I don't think Ferland or Leivo will be ready. I'd like MacEwen in there but realistically that aint happening as much as I'd like it to. Only real lineup change is Eriksson is in the press box 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Maru Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 What I would like to see if Ferland is able to play and Tryamkin gets signed: Miller Pettersson Toffoli Pearson Horvat Boeser Ferland Gaudette Virtanen Sutter Beagle Motte 5th Line - Roussel (Next up), MacEwan, Leivo 6th line - Eriksson Edler Myers Hughes Tanev Tryamkin Stecher If neither of those things happen then: Miller Pettersson Toffoli Pearson Horvat Boeser Roussel Gaudette Virtanen Sutter Beagle Motte 5th Line - Eriksson, MacEwan (Next up), Leivo Edler Myers Hughes Tanev Benn Stecher 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 If everyone is good to go (aside from Leivo who’s injury is apparently worse than originally indicated) Miller - Pettersson - Boeser Pearson - Horvat - Toffoli Motte - Gaudette - Virtanen Ferland - Beagle - MacEwen Ex: Sutter/Roussel/Eriksson Edler - Myers Hughes - Tanev Benn - Stecher Ex: Fantenberg Markstrom Demko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastal.view Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 my view (and i doubt it is worth a wooden nickle) miller-ep-toffoli (19 minutes) pearson-bo-brock (17 minutes) ferland-sutter-virt (14 minutes) ericksson-beagle-motte (10 minutes) next up: (in order should a player be required) gaudette, roussel (up first if ferland goes down), macewan though in the starting lineup, the bubble players are: loui, virt (please show up in top shape), ferland edler - myers/sttetcher (22 minutes) hughes - tanev (21 minutes) fantenburg - stetcher/myers (17 minutes) benn waiting in the wings and in a distant wing, tryamkin, assuming he gets signed, is in top shape, and shows immediate chemistry - otherwise he'll wait for training camp before hitting the ice in a real game marky in goal for 85% of games demkoo to get 1 game each series (except for the final - i know, a boy can dream ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peaches5 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Just now, Pears said: Because Miller - Pettersson - Boeser was just as good if not better. It definitely wasn't. It was hot went cold when teams figured them out. Miller Pettersson Toffoli looked a lot better and was working.. You would not break up that top line.

Phil_314 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I think most people can agree with the consensus top-6 Miller - Pete - Toffee Pearson - Bo - Brock Where it gets interesting is definitely the bottom 6. It'd be tough not to at least pencil Jake with Gaudette on the same line since he at least helped Jake break out. That being said, depending on who they match up against I'd be down to see either of these: Jake - Sutter - Gaudette (two straight-line guys in Jake and Sutter, who are physical and shoot-first, plus Sutter can take draws; Gaudette as the setup man) Roussel/ Ferland - Gaudette - Virtanen (Gaudette may not be the best in draws but we again need his play-making skills; the tough wingers can protect him) The 4th line I think 2/3 will be Motte and Beagle, and rightfully so. Motte in particular should have earned his spot with his hustle out there. Beagle of course for his face-off ability, and then whoever plays best out of Sutter/ Roussel/ Ferland (if they aren't on the 3rd line)/ MacEwen/ Loui should get the spot. Edler - Myers Hughes - Tanev (one of Fantenberg/ any of the left handed black aces) - (Stecher*/ Rafferty) => wonder if training camp could produce a challenger for bottom pair spots? Benn (kept as #7 due to his viability on both sides) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberts Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 I really hope MacEwen makes the lineup, he brings a lot of grit which would really spark the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) Miller-Pettersson-Boeser Pearson-Horvat-Toffoli Ferland-Gaudette-Virtanen Motte-Beagle-Roussel MacEwen/Sutter Hughes-Tanev Edler-Myers Benn-Stecher Fantenberg Markstrom Demko Any player in the bottom 6 who reports out of shape can start in the pressbox.

Kobayashi Maru Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) 6 hours ago, Pears said: Because Miller - Pettersson - Boeser was just as good if not better. Personally I agree that they were just as good together, but I think the only reason I would split them is to add some pure scoring to the second with historical chemistry with Horvat. In all reality it will be based on performance and could switch period to period. it also wasn’t lost on me that we had an epic discussion between pears and peaches. Can we get a plum or an apple into the discussion too? Edited June 16, 2020 by Kobayashi Maru 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) the first line is different with toffoli on it compared to boeser. toffoli shares the heavy lifting with miller while with boeser, miller carries all the physicality. boeser needs pettersson’s playmaking. i’ld love to see toffoli with bo and pearson but when brock isn’t scoring, he weakens the first line. pearson and bo are both physical and green likes that combination.

Battlemonger Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Whoever shows up to camp out of shape gets to sit. If its Petey only sit him for 3 minutes. He can do more as a fat slob than a herculean Louie can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller-Petey-Boeser Pearson-Horvat-Toffoli Virtanen-Gaudette-Sutter Motte-Beagle-MacEwen Can't see Green putting MacEwen in over Roussel. Isn't that why we got him, for playoff hockey? As much as I am one of the supporters for Jake on LW it just isn't going to happen, especially at the start of a playoff series. I know that is your personal lineup and I like it! Hopefully JB moves some of our bottom six players out this summer (Sutter, Eriksson and Roussel) so we don't have such a crowded bottom six. Not to mention clears a lot of cap space to sign Marky and Toffoli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can also change it up on the fourth line with LE and Roussel being interchangeable with Motte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putgolzin Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 A couple of comments above are mentioning a possibility of Tryamkin ... I was of the belief that he's unavailable in any scenario this year. Can someone comment on whether that is the case or if there is some shred of possibility that he could be with us this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be available as the Canucks qualified him in 2017, so the Canucks owned Tryamkin's rights prior to the 2020 trade dead line. If say we sign a random KHL player we never drafted today, he won't be eligible as his rights were acquired by the Canucks after the 2020 trade deadline.

I really don't think Gaudette is good enough to centre a line, I would change Boeser and Toffoli around to give both Pearson and Toffoli a try together, since they played great together before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
