aGENT Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 He was, yup. But my point wasn't that those guys can't play LW but that they are our best options at RW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drouin Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Booth sure as hell hasn't played like a top six forward since his knee injury a couple seasons ago. If he's not scoring, he can at least skate well, throw hits and be a force on the forecheck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freaky Freak Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 HE WAS TRIED ON THE WING FOR MORE THAN ONE STINT. IT WAS A FAILURE EVERY TIME. WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP BRINGING THIS UP AS AN OPTION. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niloc009 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Schroeder's offensive ability is NOT top 6 and he is too small for bottom 6. Some of you guys should watch a Canucks game before posting on these forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Black Ace with spot duty in the line up let him sit and wait, we already know what he brings, speed sub F/O's and some scoring no hitting, If he really wants it ie Gallagher, then he might gain ice time.

Baggins Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 He's not bad, but Schroeder's better and it'd allow Kesler to utilize his shot. Kesler/Booth hasn't exactly generated fantastic chemistry, where I think having someone like Schroeder with them (or with Kesler/Burrows more likely) would free them up to worry about the rest of their game. I like the idea of Schroeder on the 2nd line wing; he has speed, is probably our best playmaker after the Sedins and we've long wished for someone to compliment the shoot first style of the others that have been on our second line.

Boudrias Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 His playmaking would be wasted on a line with Booth and Kesler. Neither likes to give up the puck once they get it. Which has been a problem and why I'd prefer they were split up. A playmaker is pretty useless if he doesn't have control of the puck and Schroeder wouldn't playing with Booth and Kesler. Burrows and Kesler have been great defensively but Burrows hasn't been particularly productive on a line with him. This is why I'd put Schroeder between Burrows and Booth. Kesler has shown chemistry playing with both Higgins and Hansen and both wingers are excellent defensively. Both lines should be productive and a Higgins/Kesler/Hansen line would be outstanding in a shutdown role. I see all three scoring 20+ while in a shutdown role.

higgyfan Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I don't like the idea of having a C that has proven to be ineffective on the wing, on the wing. It is my opinion, which is based on years of following Schroeder's development - much of which was discussed in threads here on this site. I decided to express my opinion here, since I've seen lots of people suggesting this in various threads recently, and now this entire thread is brought up about the idea. I can't believe I'm wasting my time replying to you, but suffice it to say I'll express my opinion within the forum's rules wherever the eff I feel like.

theminister Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 That's certainly one opinion. I think he can still play an important top 6 role, even as wing. He might not have success in that role before but it was during his first year as a pro, early in the season. He has improved a lot since then. He played well in the NHL last year, and was great once back in the A. He's cap hit is great and he has tons o skill, he deserves his chance.

Ghostsof1915 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I think he's suit playing in the Eastern Conference more than the West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vkos Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 It actually amazes me that people are so quick to write off a player that just played his first partial season the NHL and has improved in all facets of the game in every year since he was drafted.

Cold Hard Truth Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Praying that kellan lain has magically transformed himself with 25 lbs of muscle and a mixed martial arts degree mixed with a real nasty mean streak. Or we find a beast that fits the bill for center. Schroeder too small.
