Kanucklehead10 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Horvat looked amazing today with McDavid and Reinhart. I can't wait to see this line dominate the tournament and to see Horvat play so well throughout the year in London makes me excited for the Canucks' future. I can't wait to see what he brings a couple years down the road. Reinhart on Horvat: "It's really easy to play out there when Bo is winning like 95% of the faceoffs" Sutter on Horvat's line: "I'll definitely keep that line together if they play the way they did today....... Bo is a very smart player and for him to be in between two highly skilled players is a good combination" It's too bad Shinkaruk got cut, I was hoping for both of the canucks prospects to make the team..... hope it doesn't hurt his confidence. http://www.tsn.ca/canadian_hockey/story/?id=439493 "Team Canada's junior squad released two players on Friday after the team beat Finland 4-2 in a pre-tournament game - defenceman Damon Severson and forward Hunter Shinkaruk. Shinkaruk has five goals and 11 assists in 18 games for Medicine Hat this season." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJDDawg Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Great to see Horvat continuing to improve. Shink has had to battle injuries this year and thus has regressed a bit. Hope it's just a slip and he can pick it up once he's back to full health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SofaKing Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Hunter is going to have the same problem making the NHL. If people think he's on our team next year they're going to be disappointed. He will take a year at least in the AHL before he's NHL ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonMexico Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Can't read too much into WJC performance but it's nice to see a Canucks prospect actually there. I may just watch more games rather than just the elimination rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindChaser Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Not to sound like a troll.. But I have concerns about us having 2 skilled players of our own to play with Bo when he gets here lol In fact I can't even name one skilled winger that we have right now that would do well with Bo .., maybe Shinkaruk?

WindChaser Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Kassian, Shinkaruk, Kesler on wing? Remember Kassian is a young guy only gonna get better. Oh I definitely wouldn't mind Sedin Sedin Kesler Shinkaruk - Horvat - Kassian Higgins Cassels Hansen As top 9 In the future, but then we will have to consider what to do with the likes of Burrows, Booth and Santorelli... blah Hopefully it'll work out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Shinkaruk has been a bit of a disappointment thus far this year. Last year, he was better than Horvat offensively, but Horvat was much better all around. This year, Horvat is better all around as well as offensively. Hopefully Shinkaruk can pick it up.

Warhippy Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Shinkaruk dealing with shoulder/hip issues if I recall. Not surprised he got cut. He needs to heal up instead of kill himself for a spot on the WJC Also, if there is a trade this year that gets us Reinhart or Ekblad it needs to be made. Alternatively, if there is a trade this year that gets us a shot at McDavid next year, it needs to be made tommorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanfor42 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Bo has had a great first half to this season. He has the confidence of the WJC coach. Shink has been a disappointment. Ya he's been injured but if you look up his comments he admits that he had a motivation problem after being cut by the Canucks. Right now it looks like Bo is going to be on the Canucks next year and Shink is not. Hoping that Shinkaruk can step it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Did your crystal ball tell you that? It's better to try predict stuff then "lets wait and see cause i have no mind to make a prediction herp derp". Adds substance to the thread. Glad BoHo is ripping it up, lets hope it's not just because he is with good players. Would've been nice to see Shink there but sometimes things don't go your way. Hopefully he bounces back and rips up the rest of the season in the Dub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously I'd wager Edler to an Eastern team that needs defence and is looking like they'll have a bottom 10-5 finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously I'd wager Edler to an Eastern team that needs defence and is looking like they'll have a bottom 10-5 finish. Edler to the Isles for this year or next years 1st round pick is our best overall chance. This year nets us a potential Tavares type player or a franchise D man and the Isles being as terrible as they are and knowing every other team in the east is only getting better gives us our best shot at McDavid next year. Besides if we traded to the Isles for a 1st and a prospect i'd guess they'd wanna give the canucks the 2015 pick just in case. Imagine if we gave the "next crosby" to the Oil or the Flames. I'd assume Snow wouldn't wanna do the with the sabres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Kesler Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 It's in the Canucks best interest that Shink got cut. Hips can be funky, and playing on a bum one isn't a good way to help development. He needs to heal up and rip up the WHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
