  1. Looking forward to seeing Fantenburg play along side Stecher. Pretty confident in our depth right now.

    That being said , Joulevi would be better suited to get in another 10 games at least in Utica. He's on the top PK and PP there , looks good overall , but his D work could still use some more time and urgency on the puck, IMO.

    He's on the radio in Toronto.  The people in TO (and for that matter most of the country) hate everything Vancouver, because they suffer through terribly cold and snowy winters and humid hot bug infested summers, while we have pleasantly ideal weather all year round.  It's pleasing to their loser Toronto listeners to hear crap about us.  Roenik is just playing to the wants of the loser Toronto audience.  

    Oh I get it... so feed em want they wanna hear and you'll get rich! :frantic:

  3.  

    Not against resting him on back to backs or when the coach decides, and have Fantenberg step up or whoever our spare is while we're relatively healthy.

    The philosophy worked for the Raptors with Kawhi Leonard for different reasons and the NHL should adopt this as well.

    Money plays such a big part of it by showcasing our stars to bums in the seats or fighting for a playoff birth,  but if our stars are not performing or getting hurt because they're exhausted that concept fails.

     

    Benn and Stecher are a solid pairing as well and while we're healthy their minutes should be bumped.

    Nah, currently signed for next year...

    Petey, Brock, Miller, Horvat, Pearson, Ferland,Sutter, Roussel, Beagle, Baertschi..Eriksson...

     

    Virtanen and Gaudette are RFA"s

     

    Lind, Jasek, podz, Hoglander pushing in the next 1-2 years aswell.

     

    Schaller, Leivo, Motte and Goldy are likely not being brought back.

    right cant afford to take a chance on Schalls again.

    In 2 years time Edler's salary goes towards Hughes  and Pearson / Sutter goes to Pettersson. 3 years if we are still carrying Eriksson which i doubt, his salary and luongo recapture goes to Brock and who ever else. So many moving parts though.

    Those prospects developing are so important to remain competitive while hanging under the cap.

  5. I can see both Jake and Ferland both as streaky players. Confidence (or lack there of) for both personalities will provide a roller coaster of performances. They both need a stabilizer like Bo on their line, with Jake in particular as he's night and day from a few games ago.

    Really think he belongs with Bo and Ferland/ pearson until Rouss comes back in the fold. That I would love to see.

    Hit- hit again- and again....-pass-shoot - score...

    So you're saying that if Eriksson plays well and gets his trade value up so that we can trade him later, that's a bad thing because we want to see Gaudette in the lineup instead?  Wouldn't it be more beneficial if we can move out Eriksson (and get a better return) and have Gaudette develop in the minors? I see that as more of a win/win situation then having Eriksson just sitting on the bench having a 6 mill cap hit.

    Hope he doesn't get replaced in 1 game if he doesn't get noticed on the fourth line in his first game back after 9.

    Regardless of his salary, etc, etc.... he deserves at least a few games if he plays like he did in the preseason.

    I agree but wouldn't be surprised if Loui surprises tonight.

     

    If he's ever had something to prove it's right now. Let's see it Loui.  

    I think he fits best on the 3rd line bumping Leivo down to the forth, but he he starts on the fourth, gets a  hatty and then moves up .:)

     

    Pearson- Sutter- Loui

    Schaller- Beagle - Leivo

  8. All the best to Loui, 

    Don't listen to all the noise from media and fans, play your game and i hope you work your way into the middle 6 while Green is experimenting, and you could be the one their looking for...

     

    Ferland- Bo- Jake - stick with these guys for a few games

    Pearson- Sutter- Loui

    Schaller - Beagle - Leivo 

     

    What ever makes this team better.
