  1. Yes, that line with Petey/Miller/Boeser means that we have 2 first lines with a really good 3rd line, Virtanen/Gaudette/Sutter With Loui as depth in case of injuries, as usual...
  2. Gaudette slipped my mind. But I want to split Miller and Petey. Petey and Toffoli seems to be a match. Do a balanced line up with Petey and Miller on different lines.
  3. Miller and Petey seems to get most of their points through PP, not 5v5. Miller crash into ozone and rarely pass the puck to Petey. Petey likes to pass the puck around so the oppo can't keep up. They doesn't match. What I've seen of Toffoli is a much better match to Petey than Miller. So Toffoli is delicate.
  4. I don't see the lines as 1,2,3. I see them as thre scoring lines and dependent of how the game evolves different line gets more time. Miller crash down the boards and rarely seek to communicate withvPetey while attacking. I want the line to seek communication in order to outplay the other team, not just crash around and hope the commotion, or luck, create some space. Green is looking for lucky bounces and I don't like that.
  5. PEARSON - PETTERSSON - BOESER ERIKSSON - HORVAT - TOFFOLI BÄRTSCHI - MILLER - VIRTANEN MOTTE - BEAGLE - McEWEN Roussel, Sutter This can be a way to have three lethal lines, scoring wise, when Boeser is back. Miller doesn't click with Petey so I would change it in some way. Don't focus on wich lines is 1st, 2nd and 3rd...
  6. Really? You mention that Horvat is -14. Loui is -2 in 49 games. That should say something. Especially that Loui is instrumental to Horvats success. So I say don't shift players all the time. Keep Horvat, Pearson and Loui together through the whole games. Let Loui be on PP2. Because he knows where to be and he is good close to the net. Green shift players all the time and it's just stupid.
  7. You usually are pa but not now. I'm a bit curious to why. No, you didn't respond to my post earlier...
  8. Only about Bennings words... He could have spoken about the young players not willing to play in AHL in another interview not close to Dahlens departure. Remember, I don't have a problem with Benning wanted to trade him.
  9. He's human and your words don't change that fact. I'm not saying he is mourning another player. I say that Bennings way of dealing with this situation is affecting Petey. It isn't especially good if you don't trust or like your GM.
  10. Did you even read what I said? You're really bad at reading and when you try something else you go the passive aggressive style. It's marvelous that you didn't go the passive aggressive way now, I'm very surprised...
  11. Something closer to the truth maybe "In this cap space age we can't let our young prospects come to quick from Utica because then we can't afford to sign Petey and Hughes when the time comes so we release Dahlen from Utica and wish him the best." Or "We have a lot of players in Dahlens position so we let him try his luck somewhere else and we get a player more suitable for us in the long run" This is just 2, the first is to honest but the second is decent, takes on it. Benning with his knowledge could probably think of ten more versions. Just don't put the light on a young prospect.
  12. Dahlen didn't force Bennings hands. Benning could have solved this in multiple ways without laying the full blame on Dahlen. Since we don't know exactly what went wrong it's hard for anybody to take a stand.
  13. I know about those aspects but it's here it shows if Benning is a GM ir not. Benning cound't be a diplomat and chose a middle path that didn't sacrifice a young person just because. In my view Benning is a great scout but not a GM.
  14. This is the quote feom TSN Radio Vancouver. "Benning on Dahlen: I find sometimes young players now, sometimes they don't want to pay their dues in development time, they just want an NHL opportunity off the start. We just felt there was development left before that, and I guess that's where the discrepancy was..." This started the whole "hate Dahlen" on the net. Benning steered away from any criticism towards Utica or him by laying the blame on a young player. Petey knows this and exactly what happened because Dahlen and him see each other every summer in Sundsvall and hang out. Petey knows that Dahlen might not be an NHL player so this is only about how Benning talked about it in public. Something Benning should have kept for himself.
  15. This is what I'm talking about regarding Benning and his treatment of Dahlen. Is it a coincidence Petey lost his edge last season when Dahlen got in trouble due to Bennings throwing Dahlen under the bus? In my view Petey got negative stress because how his friend were treated by the GM. That stress is a pain to have while trying to be at the top of your game. Benning doesn't seem to be the guy to say "I'm sorry" in public to Dahlen so this $&!# will probably stay in Peteys head. I would be very surprised if Petey took a discount to stay with the Canucks. Benning will probably have to pay for his behaviour.
  16. If you were true to your words you wouldn't care about who plays. Wich isn't exactly what you think about Demko/Marky...
  17. It's better you change the post so the right one can talk to you about fire anybody...
