CanucksSayEh Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Booth is not a true Canuck. I surely hope we trade him soon. He always bobbles the puck when he skates and I feel he gets very lucky when he actually is able to control it. Now that he has a bad knee he is not what we need. We have to trade him now while he still has value. We should package booth with luongo. Trade booth a 2nd rounder, and Luongo for Kessel and Reimer. Move Kessel onto wing with raymond. Our lines will look like this once kesler is back: Sedin Sedin Burrows Raymond Kesler Kessel Higgins Lappy Kassian Weise Schroeder someone??? Boom. We are just about ready to go.

Canuck Surfer Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 But Hansen also wins them the puck, which maximizes time in the offensive end. Kassian is not the energy player that Hansen or Burrows is. I readily admit Kassian might score more than Hansen; but likely the Sedins will score less as they might not even have the puck. I think Kassian makes more sense with the Sedins then Hansen. Hansens been tried there and he doesn't have the hands to finish. Kassian does, and he can make sure nobody touches the Sedins.

JensenFan2011 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I know MG wants Jensen to stay in the SEL but with all these players being hurt i kind of expect to see a Jensen apperance to camp in a couple days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Muscle tear would be great. Heals well with no problems down the road. Adductor tendon insertion (most bad groin strains) is another story. Has the potential to slow a player for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Wow these injuries are going to pile up all over the league soon. MG did a fantastic job of getting 2 depth defencemen, now he needs to focus on top-6 forwards capable of playing 16-18 minutes a game. Ideally a center and middle-6 forward would be a perfect fit, and we have Luongo and Ballard to move to free up cap space. Here's how I'd like to see us start the season if Booth isn't ready to go: Sedin - Sedin - Kassian (or Hansen/Raymond would suffice, everyone has success with the twins) Higgins - Lapierre - Burrows (ex-Habs and Quebec boys have shown chemistry before) Raymond - Schroeder - Hansen (very fast line) Weise - Malhotra - Pinizotto (big hitters and Pinizotto would have out performed every other 4th liner last year if healthy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Thanx for that backup! I suppose in a perfect world we could find a bigger winger, who still had the speed and wear with all to do all the dirty work. The difference between Brown in LA and Burrows here is simple; 20 pounds. When we had CoHo here, and Manny was not injured yet, I always wondered why we did not load the top line with Kesler three or 7 times a game? He could have still played a 2knd line Selke role, but come up to the top line in key situations. Not to mention that Hansen, like Burrows, is a speedy defensive player that can back check so that the Sedins can be more aggressive offensively. Kassian isn't there yet, and might be better suited playing with a great 2-way player in Kesler to master his defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodee Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 That is a weak 2nd line imo, Raymond is soft, Schroeder is unproven. Kassian is about the only player in that mix I think will be reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningWild Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Not gonna lie, could care less that Booth isn't starting the season in the Canucks lineup. I'd like to see a line of young guns who play sheltered mins. Higgy-Lappy-Hansen will eat all the tough mins, Sedins line and Mannys line could share the workload. Give Raymond- Schroeder- Kassian all the o-zone starts and 4th line opponents they can handle. Canucks have 2 great goalies and a solid defensive back end - they'll be fine.

Aladeen Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I still don't have Raymond on the 2nd line. Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Higgins - Schroeder - Kassian Raymond - Lapierre - Hansen Volpatti - Malholtra - Weise Ebbett (Blake?) Hamhuis (?) - Bieksa Edler - Garrison Ballard - Tanev Vandermeer/Barker Schneider Luongo I say keep Luongo, with the condensed schedule we'll need him. Hamhuis sat out practice, as well as Kassian (back), some real questions in our line up all of the sudden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodee Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 If Raymond isn't on the second line he really shouldn't be on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Hopefully nothing too serious. We need Booth's power game in the top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Wrong, if I learned 1 thing with AV in the past years, our second line will be : Higgins-Lapierre(or Manny)-Hansen our third line will be : Raymond-Schroeder-Kassian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
