The Bookie Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I think Henrik's mostly getting PK minutes because of faceoff trust, so there's minutes there for Bo. Matthias seems the most likely. Not that he's been bad, but my personal vote would go to Dorsett because my ideal lineup would have more players at their (semi) natural positions: Sedins-Vrbata Higgins-Bonino-Kassian Burrows-Richardson-Vey Matthias-Horvat-Hansen ^what I like there is that Higg-Burr and Kass-Vey are both interchangeable, and even Matthias-Richardson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Matthias is the one most likely to be scratched. Hansen has better qualities as a RW which is his natural position. Matthias isn't bad we just could use Horvat more so. Sedin-Sedin-Vrbata Higgins-Bonino-Burrows - Burrows plays better as RW. Higgins and Burrows play with a hard work ethic that can complement Bonino. Richie-Vey-Kassian - Richie and Vey take draws on their strong sides. Kassian has chemistry with Richie as well. Dorsett-Horvat-Hansen - Horvat can eat PK minutes and take draws. He will probably get 10 +/- min depending on special teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Here's my ideal roster: Sedin - Sedin - Vrbata Burrows - Bonino - Kassian/Vey Higgins - Horvat - Vey/Kassian Matthias - Richardson - Dorsett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznak Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Matthias, Kassian, or Hansen take your pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazzyrulesall Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I voted Hansen. He hasn't really been noticeable these past two games, which is a good thing for some players, but not good in Hansen's case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinphase Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Matthias. Other than his physical stature, which he doesn't even use that much, I don't see what he's contributed to the team. He can't play on the wings and Hansen is an excellent bottom 6 winger. If Hansen can find chemistry with Horvat and Dorsett, we would have a fourth line with more scoring potential.

BanTSN Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Should be Dorsett, but will likely be Kassian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Was not impressed with either Mathias or Hanson's physicality against Edmonton. Hanson had a slight edge. C vs RW. You can always move a C to the wing. Loved Hanson from when he was in junior and Van drafted him. He was a premium PKer and might be able to stick at 4RW with PK time. Mathias is younger and needs TOI but Van depth might not give him that unless injuries happen. Because of the draft year coming up I suspect that either of these two might be up for a trade. To early yet. Both have enough talent that they could adapt to the WD coaching and surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForsbergTheGreat Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Bigger question. Horvat comes in and plays good enough to stick with the team after his 9 games. Who gets moved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.53 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I think we should should start Horvat on the wing and get climatized. Best option would be to put him on the third line left wing, with Vey and Kasian. Horvat can take most face-offs for Vey if he struggles. This would also allow us to put Brad Richardson as the 4C, which would be perfect since Matthias seems to not be getting it done. That could possibly add some juice to the fourth line which we know Richardson played well as last year. Sedin-Sedin-Vrbata Higgins-Bonino-Burrows Horvat-Vey-Kassian Dorsett-Richardson-Hansen (Mathias, Sestito) During Bo Horvat's Playoff MVP season for the london knights, he sometimes played left wing for a high IQ offensive center Max Domi. He took the face-offs, and worked like a bull in the boards as well as in front of the net. Still can get PK time as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo2337 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Hansen is not himself these days, just not playing well at all. Not sure if he's unmotivated, injured, or lost a step? Mathias seems to have the step, and has the odd good shift, but lacks consistency. I think I'd sit Hansen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackcanuck Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Kassian seems to be playing himself further down the depth chart. He was moved down to the 4th line last night, replaced by Dorsett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S.Strowbridge Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I hate to pick on him, but Hansen seems the weakest of the three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homersexual Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 AFAIK, Hansen has a ntc. Weren't there rumours this summer that he rejected to waive his ntc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
