TheRussianRocket. Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Sedin - Sedin - Kassian Burrows - Kesler - Schroeder Shinkaruk - Horvat - Jensen Higgins - Richardson - Hansen Weise Hamhuis - Bieksa Edler - Garrison Tanev - Corrado Alberts, Weber Luongo Lack/Eriksson ...I'm really sold on the youth movement and as of current, Horavt & Shinkaruk have been playing up to expectations being a force out there every shift and Jensen has been the best prospect for us in general. I say for at least the first 9 games, start those 3 on the 3rd line and see what they can do. If they produce, make plays, and cause scoring chances, then you can even possibly consider keeping them the whole year. Knowing Torts, he loves his prospects and is known for slotting them in right away and developing them off the get go and most importantly, making them flourish. I can really see Torts being sold on these 3 come training camp and giving them a shot and playing them on the same line. This would give us a lot of depth as we would have 2 3rd lines essentially, as our 4th line would >>> any other 4th line. Booth being Booth is injured and won't start, and Schroeder will turn out to be the top 6 playmaking forward he is, whether he play centre or wing...if personally let Kesler take face offs and then make them shift places so Schroeder can play his natural, comfortable position and Kesler can try sniping more and he has experience playing wing. This lineup would be lethal as we have a roster injected with veterans and youth and it's the perfect mix needed to win in today's NHL. Younger players always give it their all to make an impression and prove themselves and it gets the older guys going too seeing younger guys battling so hard. When this occurs, opposing teams just can't keep up with the pace and are stuck trying to solve what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Booth? Shinkaruk definitely needs another year in junior but Horvat looks good enough and so does Jensen. Maybe Gaunce aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangoes Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I like that lineup though i think we should give horvat another year in juniors with London Knights it will really benefit our team I can see Gaunce stepping in to 3rd line center GO CANUCKS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watermelons Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I like the lineup but I think Shinkaruk will need at least one more year before making the jump...I'd loved to be proved wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgson!! Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 The player that was 3rd in scoring on the Canucks last year won't play 4th line behind unproven prospects. Don't think Shinkaruk will be ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euphoria/ Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 i'd like to see the prospects play in preseason games against people that will acually play in the nhl this year rather than base my opinion off two games against other not nhl ready prospects. that being said, i could see schroeder making the team with jensen and corrado as call ups, but shinkaruk and horvat should play in junior for at least another year. i could see the lineup being like this: sedin-sedin-kassian booth-kesler-burrows higgins-schroeder-hansen weise-richardson-sestito santorelli ---- jensen hamhuis-bieksa edler-tanev garrison-weber alberts ---- corrado luongo lack/eriksson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drouin Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Booth? Adding youth may be good, but not when we add all of our prospects. Gaunce is likely more ready than Shinkaruk, maybe Bo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinkaruk98 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Youth movement is going to be very key and important for years to come in Vancouver, but as of right now that line up would get killed considering we would have a bunch of kids playing among men. One maybe two prospects would be good, but anything exceeding that would just be overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsbergTheGreat Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 As has been widely recognized: sedins will be better separated. Here is the lineup assuming booth to be injured for the majority of the season: Kassian sedin kesler Sedin schroeder higgins Weise burrows gaunch Hansen horvart richardson Bieksa tanev Edler alberts Garrison hamhuis Luuuuu Lak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken kaniff Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Yur livin in the past. Gotta develop that youth, get them in the lineup. Its the only way, I'd almost suggest throwing Corrado in on the final pair for some games... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForsbergTheGreat Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Yeah you're probably right about some of your points. I probably just overreacted to that avs fan. I'm so sick of seeing avs fans on this site recently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
