I might be out to lunch on this but I’d like to see him on the wing with petey and miller next year, he reminds me a lot of burrows when he was starting out. He’s got the wheels to get in on the forecheck to retrieve pucks while having the skill/IQ to create offence and after his playoff performance this year I think he deserves a chance to show what he’s got in a larger role.

YES!

Atta boy Brock!

WOOOOOOOOOO MOTTE!!!

Tyler mottes play this series I’ll see myself out...

I see your morbidly obese cat and raise you another... This is also a metaphor for me trying to get through this thread!

You had me at ravioli...

That’s our captain!

Hahahaha

I left Ovi out because he’s a superstar type player he’s an anomaly. I was more comparing ferland to Wilson because they both can be physically imposing and put up 20 to 25 goals. We just need more of a physical presence on the ice to push back teams it just give us a better chance to win.

You and I just watch the Canucks differently that’s all. I look at a team like Washington, who only really has one ferland type of player ie Tom Wilson but you know teams have to play the capitals differently when he’s on the ice because of what he brings. Ferland like Wilson adds more balance to our lineup, and when he’s out throwing the body and punishing the opposition it takes it toll as the game goes along. And that takes the pressure off of our other guys who can just go out and play. Yesterday was prime example of why we need guys like ferland or roussel. At one point we didn’t have a single shot for like 10 mins and philly dominated most of 2nd + 3rd and that’s with our BEST PLAYERS playing. That’s just my opinion so take it with a grain of salt. Ps. Those guys who are missing from our lineup are important and just because they’re not superstars doesn’t mean they don’t bring their own unique skill set that helps this team.
