wallstreetamigo Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 lapierre and torres have to be the two players most overrated by this fan base ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Torress Lappy and Hansen was one of the best lines we've had..but nope, let's sign crap players and let go the ones that actually made some noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pinchin Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I don't know man. There are so many to choose from. Tanev, Bieksa, Higgins, and any Canuck prospect come to mind off the top of my head although those are just current ones. Dig into the past and the idiocy of overrating good but not great players to superstar status takes on a life of it's own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallstreetamigo Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'd argue that Tanev is still too fresh to be rated, let alone overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I remember that line being effective when Manny was the center not Lappy. Not sure it was even remotely close to a "best line" in either scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Hockey Place Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Vigneault almost always preferred the extra size and defence. But still went with Roy over Lapierre last season. They need and want offence from the 3rd line. But it's like they don't want to hurt the feelings of the top line players by admitting it. So they keep trying to fill that spot with a player with limited offensive upside. But the Canucks have looked best when the 3rd line is scoring. Raymond Wellwood Bernier, Torres Malhotra Hansen, Higgins Hodgson Schroeder Hansen. Lapierre would be great for the 4th line. But that's not great for him.

Salmonberries Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Too much heat on him from the refs. Getting rid of him was a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baratheon Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 He is too fresh to have people say he is Hamhuis in the making, worth a huge contract right now, top 4 on most teams in the league etc. too. That is my point about Tanev especially actually. He is steady and safe and is a good young player but has not shown anything to consider him to be a core player or key irreplaceable piece like much of CDC does.

poetica Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'm looking forward to seeing Kassian...or anyone smash that dirtbag smirk off his face. There are very few Canucks I have been happier to see leave, Brown, Messier and Cooke and the only ones above Lappy off the top of my head. Hopefully he can rally our team to destroy St Louis like he rallied our competition to play to the next level over the last few seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pinchin Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Geez, dude. You have a serious hate on for him, huh? Did he run over your dog or something? It's okay. *pat pat* The smirky man is gone. You can relax now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallstreetamigo Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'm pretty sure it's because he is a right hand shot which we are short on. I don't think anyone (well most people) think that Tanev is a future top 2 D-Man but if we lost him it would leave an awkward hole on the right side imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 He's got potential, that's all I'm saying about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmania Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Absolutely he has potential. I totally agree. But for some to suggest he has already lived up to that potential or that he 100% certainly ever will is ridiculous. It does not work that way.

Edlerberry Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I have a bad feeling that not re signing Lappy will come to bite us in the fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 For many teams, it can be a struggle to find enough right-handed defensemen to fill a lineup. Of the 290 defensemen who played at least one NHL game during the 2012-13 season, 180 shot from the left side (62 percent). http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=678900 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
