MattFraser Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 According to HockeyTheMagazine, these are the Canucks projected lines for this season. Sedin-Sedin-Burrows Higgins-Kesler-Hansen Booth-Schroeder-Horvat Sestito-Richardson-Kassian Jensen-Santorelli-Weise Hamhuis-Bieksa Edler-Garrison Weber-Tanev Corrado-Andersson Luongo Lack What do you guys think? Maybe switch Higgins and Booth? Kassian and Hansen? And yes, they actually put Horvat in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 That's not really a projected lineup but rather more of a rating for what players are best in each position. It doesn't mean anything related to what Gillis and Tortorella are thinking, since we already know Torts would like to pair Burrows and Kesler together.

Plum Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 It isn't that great but I would probably put Kass on the top line. Do something like this Sedin - Sedin - Kassian Burrows - Kesler - Schroeder Higgins/Booth - Gaunce - Hansen Booth/Higgins - Richardson - Weise Sestito/Santortelli Hamhuis - Bieksa Garrison - Tanev Edler - Corrado Alberts Lu Eriksson Edit: Schroeder has to go through waivers to be sent down but most likely that won't happen.

Armada Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Alberts > Andersson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFraser Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Yeah, sorry guys I forgot about Alberts. IMO it should be Alberts-Tanev Weber can be an extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 It's honestly not that bad. Minus the extra forward (one of Horvat/Jensen), and any combination of the remaining 14 makes sense. I could also see Horvat getting some games to start the season, or be kept around as an extra forward. I also expect that Andersson will be our first D call up if Corrado makes camp, 2nd otherwise - he's very serviceable as a big, smooth skating d-man. They missed out on Alberts, but that was a relatively recent signing, considering the deadline for the issue, it's completely possible he wasn't included just yet. I also agree with Weber being left out, as I don't feel he beats out Corrado, nor does he add the size element that Alberts does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Boudreau Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Don't think Corrado makes the team to start. He will benefit by having more playing time in Utica and playing in all situations. Then if he is tearing it up they can call him back up mid season or earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I'm willing to give Kassian a shot at the first line, and he still has much to prove, but I certainly don't want to see him on the 4th line. He's just not that type of player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I feel we should upgrade the fourth line via a signing and play Richardson on the third, as I feel he's a malhotra 2011 type guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shredder Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 1st Sedin-Sedin-Kassian 2nd Shinkaruk-Schroeder-Kesler 2nd Higgins-Horvat-Burrows 4th Sestito-Richardson-Hansen i like this. that 2nd line would be speedy as hell with two finishers(shink,kes) and a playmaker(JoSchro). shink also has playmaking abilities IMO Shink and horvat are ready to make the jump because of the depth of the 2013 draft. any other draft horvat wouldve gone higher. Shink was a projected top 10. both these guys are dope Well, i guess its more likely we'll see this line up next year ps - booth gets traded unless he picks it up, wich is why i dont have him on the 4 forward linesEDIT - Slot in Jenson and anyone i may have missed wherever you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
