  1. Gudbranson on the Power Play

     

    I personally would like to see Gudbranson out on the powerplay unloading that big shot. He is their fastest defenseman so why hasn’t he been given a shot there? In the skills competition the Canucks has last year he shot a 108 mile an hour shot. He looks great when he jumps into the play and has the speed to recover. 

     

    It is worth a shot!

      He has the shot, but I dont know if he has the vision and creativity to QB the powerplay as a dman. 

      Wouldn't be opposed to trying it out though.

      If Juolevi makes the team, maybe a Guddy and Juolevi/Stecher (QB) on the 2nd unit PP.

      I'd like to see him use that shot 5 on 5 more often, but I'm a no to using him on the PP.

      He hasnt really shown any playmaking ability and he's not a smooth stick handler.. 

       

      Maybe if he's used as a net front presence on occasion, like CHI used to use Buff.

  2. Yes on Baertschi. A top line can have a high end scorer that doesn’t check. The problem is, Baertschi has been gifted the top line and top powerplay my notes but doesn’t do enough.
  3. Virtanen is going to be one of the best players on the team next year. No one is better at gaining the blue line, fighting off the check, blowing by defenders, and he has a good shot. Shot differential when he is on the ice is greatly in favour of the Canucks, he has a very high percentage of unassisted goals, and all players do better when he is on the ice with them. He will look look great with Pettersson but he looks great on the left wing so I would like to see him with Boeser and Horvat also. He would help Boeser get close to 50 goals, where with Baertschi on the line, Boeser and Horvat would give up some to help Baertschi get 20. Virtanen is almost impossible to check, where Baertschi being easy to check makes it easier to check Boeser.
