I have always said that when Booth plays like a power forward and drives the net, the other Canucks better be joining him as he creates great opportunities when he does this, lots of garbage goals come from that. I don't know many other Canucks that actually drive the net like he does. He has a decent enough shot, but he is strong enough to take it to the net, this is where he can contribute. Kassian needs to learn from this, it is similar to Big Berts style of play, one arming the dman and using the other to guide the puck to the net. Much much different than cycling
If he is productive on that third, and if Torts puts Schroeder between him and Kassian or even if he just keeps Richardson there, and that line make us that more dangerous to play against, I'd say keep him. He just needs to train with the Sedins in the offseason so he doesn't come in like he has for how many seasons and started out the way he has. That is all.
