Squeak Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I think he's won his spot, if he keeps playing responsible defensively I think we'd see something like: Sedins-Burr Raymond-Kesler-Kassian Booth-Schroeder-Hansen Higgins-Manny-Lappy Though I have really liked Burr at center and he's been doing quite well on draws as well. Lots of options with the way Schroeds has played for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Optimist Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 speaking just in terms of Canucks, I see more upside from Schroeder than Ebbett, and so I prefer Schroeder be our 'extra' center in Vancouver. Anyway you slice the Hodgson situation, he was gonna be stuck behind Sedin and Kessler at C position so I am glad that we got Kassian for himi when we did. Imo Kassian will blossom into a huge offensive force soooner rather than later, and even now so far he has what...a team leading 5 goals and tied for 2nd in team points? Honestly i just looked that up and now i am shocked he has such a great start...haha...maybe he is blooming right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otis Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I agree with everything, except Raymond on the 2nd line? Over Booth? Higgins - Schroeder - Hansen is a great sounding 3rd line. I`d see Raymond as expendable or 4th line... Personal preference would be to leave kassian with the Sedins on the 1st line, and put Burr and Kes together on the 2nd.

Personal preference would be to leave kassian with the Sedins on the 1st line, and put Burr and Kes together on the 2nd. Am I the only one that has noticed that Raymond has been pretty good so far this year? As for Kassian, I'd like to see how he plays with Kesler, for one very simple reason. Next year we're paying Burrows $4.5 million dollars. He's making that because he's a great linemate with the Sedins who has been producing while he plays with them. While undoubtedly valuable to the team, is he still a $4.5 million dollar player when he's not with the Sedins? If it's not broken, don't fix it. I'd leave Kassian with the Sedins on the powerplay maybe. But I'd like to see if Kassian and Kesler can get some chemistry going. If they can, the Sedins/Burrows line and a Kesler/Kassian line would give us two lines that could take over a game and make us that much tougher to play against. And if we need to shake things up in a slump or something, they would always be flipped to change things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Raymond is one of the better forwards thus far this season for sure. Using his speed, pretty good positioning, defensively reliable, using his body more yes I said it. And yeah, producing more. Raymond will remain a top nine forward or should. Booth I am not a huge fan of since he has been in Vancouver, not sure where his spot is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arby18_ Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Congrats to D Zach Redmond for earning not only his first NHL point, but two assists including one on the OT game-winner! The Habs are incredibly pleased to see that another player has come up from the minors to contribute majorly to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ActionJax09 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I agree. But everyone has to remember, there will always be at least 1 injured forward. I think Volpatti has played better than the Canucks could have expected. There is no reason to take him out. If anyone is coming out its manny. Personally I do not think weise brings much to the table but he can fight when needed Sedin Sedin Burrows Raymond Kesler Kassian Higgins Schroeder Hansen Volpatti Lappy Weise *by the time Booth comes back someone will be injured and he will fill the hole Am I the only one that has noticed that Raymond has been pretty good so far this year? As for Kassian, I'd like to see how he plays with Kesler, for one very simple reason. Next year we're paying Burrows $4.5 million dollars.
