Why do all canuck fans have this mental block that the Sedins and Burr need to be together?! Burr is great on any of the top 3 lines. Burr + Kes = 0 GA. and theyre great offensively together too. He could even play well with Lapierre if AV wanted him to. And the Sedins need Burrows? They can play with anyone. they dont even need each other. Henrik proved that 2 years ago when Daniel broke his foot. Why cant we just accept that they are great players and stop putting up imaginary limitations in our heads. They play well together because they are the two best offensive forwards the canucks have, and being familiar with each other's game helps, but they could quickly learn to work with others and would still be awesome. I'd say put Burr with Kes. Sedins with Strum, Samuelson, Hasen, new guy. And on the PP, split up the sedins and play Henrik, Burr, Higgins, samuelson, edler, then change for Daniel, Kes, Hansen, bieksa, salo. 2 awesome pp units. Could even try those as the top two forward lines (D instead of samuelson, and shift D around to get desired pairings). Sounds wierd I know, but all i'm saying is canucks need to think outside of the box and realize that their players are not as limited as they think they are. spread out the talent to bring 2 #1 lines instead of having a clear #1 and #2. Pitsburgh dont play crosby and malkin together. Washington dont play Ovi and Semin together. Det. dont play Datsyk and Zeterberg together (I dont think, i haven't had much recent opportunity to watch them play).
