oldnews Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Lol. I like how Wade Arnott saying, "There have been some preliminary discussions" = headline of "Canucks and Arnott talk contract" to The 4th period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 While I think this is an acceptable band-aid for the 2nd line until Kes gets back and a good option 2nd unit PP Center... ...not sure I like the idea of Arnott being the 3rd line C, he doesn't have the wheels to keep up with Higgins and Hansen... I like Lappy on the 3rd line, those guys have a lot of energy together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaches Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Say we get Bjugstad in the Luongo deal, he is commited to playing another year in College right? Arnott would be a good temporary 3rd line centre next season. Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Booth - Kesler - Doan Higgins - Arnott - Hansen Weise - Lappiere - Kassian Malhotra buy out or waivers.

warrchief Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Arnott would be a great asset for the team. He knows how to win and he scored a cup clincher goal. A leader on and off the ice, I would love to has this old dog. I think he is still hungry for another shot at a cup and will prove to be an asset. I don't think Schroeder is anywhere to being NHL ready. He needs top 6 minutes to flourish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlweezer Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Jason Arnott is notorious for being the opposite of a role model , leader type of guy! He hates young players on his team and in the league because he feels they are trying to takeover his job..He would not be good in the dressing room around guys like Kassian Jensen Schroeder. Say no to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnsey Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I think he might be a better option than Doan Cheaper, has more playoff experience including a Cup and can play center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdmontonRob Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I'm in the "hoping we add Arnott" camp. Our team was best last year when we had 3 lines that were legitimately capable of scoring. When we traded away Hodgson, that number was reduced to 2 lines. Arnott would inject that 3rd line scoring potential back into our roster. The beauty of a 3rd line that can score is that it creates one of 2 problems for the opposition - either it forces their top 4 d-men to play more minutes against the 3rd line, which opens things up for the top 2 lines playing against tired d-men, or it creates a situation where we get a 3rd line that can score playing against the other team's weakest d-pairing. When Hodgson was playing last year, it's true that he benefitted from easier match-ups - and look at the results we got from those mis-matches! The other nice thing about having a 3rd centre with offensive upside is that if injuries come to your top 2 centres, you aren't stuck with only one line that can score. There's no position where depth is more crucial than at centre. Yes - the Kings were faster than us, but we simply couldn't score. The Kings were able to focus all their top defensive presence on our top 2 lines, which made it much harder to score. I'd rather have a slower Arnott who can help open things up offensively than a Pahlsson who did nothing to generate any kind of offense for us. If we are really desperate to rush Schroeder into the NHL, bring him in as a 4th line centre, and move Lapierre and Malhotra to the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vancanfan Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 No thanks to Arnott, Doan or go another route, he is the only geezer I want on this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millerdraft Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 That is a plus in his favour. Doan and the 3-4 year deal is a little off-putting for me. A few seasons ago, with some injury trouble, that would have been completely true. He's managed to stay healthy more recently however and been a reasonable contributor despite his age. My concerns are this: he was sheltered a little last year and didn't face particularly tough competition. I think he over-achieved a little and might decline somewhat this year.* He could still be a good option, but by no means is a guarantee and Kesler would likely have to play against tougher competition like when Hodgson was 3rd line C. * Source: BehindTheNet.ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
