canucks10271999 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 my question is for the season do we have kassian on the fourth line the third line the 2nd line or maybe playing on the first with the sedins i think we should give him a chance with kesler and booth daniel henrik burrows booth kesler kassian higgins lapierre hansen weise malhotra raymond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Depends on the Luongo situation and what we acquire from that deal and from Free Agency (Arnott?). Right now this is what we have: Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Booth - Kesler - Higgins Raymond - Lapierre - Hansen Volpatti - Malhotra - Kassian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kj29 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 no way first liner for kass. probably 3rd line how bout this Sedin-Sedin-Burrows Booth-Kesler-Higgins Kassian-Lappy-Hansen Raymond-Malhotra-Volpatti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I'd like to see him on the 3rd line. Needs more ice time than he will get on the 4th, and isn't skilled enough to be on the 2nd yet. Every once in a while throw him on the PP with the Sedins.

Everybody Hates Raymond Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Whatever spot he earns is his - whether it's with the Sedins, or on the Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 IF there is a season of course. I think Kass can have Raymond's spot on the 2nd/3rd line. Gillis said bigger and younger, not softer and useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy_cheung14 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 You don't know that. And its there*. I think if Kassian is ready for top six minutes, put him with Kesler and Booth. I remember MG saying that Zack could be our Dustin Brown/Dustin Byfuglien type of player if he's given the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy_cheung14 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Daniel-Henrik-Booth Burrows-Kesler-Kassian ??????????????????? wat u think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I wouldn't mind putting Kassian on the 2nd line for the beginning of the season. i think that line will need a spark with Kesler out, so maybe just maybe Kassian will be that spark.

surtur Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Kassian infront of the net either with the twins or Booth,and Kesler I think could do some damage. esp against teams like LA, Boston, Nashville that have great D and a great Goalie. Maybe practice this all year and use it in the playoffs if it seems to work. aslo wouldn't mind seeing a trial of Kassian ,Lappy ,Burrows on the third for a few games.

Starmie Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I'd say he has the tools to be a 2nd liner, just has to earn it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksFanMike Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 if we dont sign Doan then i would expect him to be on the 2nd line to start and see how he does there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassian Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Putting him on the 4th line is not the proper way to develop. If he can't crack the top-9 he should go to the Wolves and play top line minutes there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Doughty Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Weise-Malholtra-Kassian Booth-Kesler-Higgins Hansen-Lapierre-Raymond Sedin-Sedin-Burrows that way when both team plays their 4th line, we will have an advantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugli Fruit Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 What line he plays on shouldn't depend on his skill level, it should depend on how well he plays and with whom. If he somehow starts playing like a young Bertuzzi, then by all means the guy should be given high minutes. Too bad AV isn't that kind of coach.

Moonshinefe Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 It's kind of an unfortunate situation because Kassian would be far better off developing on the 3rd and 2nd lines, the problem is... he isn't really better than any of our 3rd or 2nd liners right now. Perhaps if someone slumps or gets injured he can play on those lines, but I see him sitting on the 4th this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-52 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 In my opinion he will get started on the second line. And be given some time. - There is no way the play him on 4th line, he would get put in AHL and play first line instead. - He is one of TWO right wingers that we have, the other being hansen who plays on the third line. - Not good enough for first line yet, maybe gets a few shots during extraneous circumstances. So by using powers of deduction we can then extrapolate that he will not play on the 1st 3rd or 4th lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
