OrrFour Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Matthias is a fringe nhler. His only asset is size which he doesn't use to his advantage. Hansen has proven himself to be a very good bottom six winger. He'll snap out of this funk that he's in right now. Matthias has not shown a thing since he's arrived.

I think the bottom line is there isn't really room for Horvat on this team as it is. At this point he is not better than Mathias or Richardson. He may very well end up back in London Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knucklehd Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I agree that a Matthias/Richardson/Kassian line makes sense give how well they played together last year. The have enough size and toughness to be a 4th line can provide enough secondary scoring and defense to be a good 3rd line. As for the faceoff circle, Bonino is not bad either. If Vey and Horvat play together each can take strong side face-offs. So the line up looks like this: Sedin/Sedin/Vrbata Higgins/Bonino/Burrows Horvat/Vey/Dorsett Matthias/Richardson/Kassian Not sure which of the last two lines is the "3rd" line and which is the "4th" line. But that would give the Canucks and excellent bottom six to go with a very good top line and a decent 2nd line.I would agree with this, Horvat gets pk time to increase his minutes, vey gets pp time to increase his. Richardson, Mathias and kassian were great together last year. I really like that line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the year horvat will be far better than Mathias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onesmallleap Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hansen. Playing himself off the roster as far as I'm concerned. please trade hansen and his 2.5 mill cap hit please JB Id be ecstatic for a 3rd and a 4th lets be real here there are a multitude of players available on waivers, in the ahl , and our own farm team that can do what Hanson does for this team at 1/3 the cap hit.....time to send him to wherever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lui's Knob Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Either Hansen or Mattias. Both are terrible even with 4th line minutes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 When a team is winning, you don't tinker with the lineup unless you must do so...we are winning and everyone is still trying to find there groove in the first few games, Hansen and Matthias haven't been great but not terrible either and have been very good on the PK in Calgary and Edmonton... People need to control there hormones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hansen has proven himself to be a very good bottom six winger. He'll snap out of this funk that he's in right now. Matthias has not shown a thing since he's arrived. I beg to differ. Is he worse than Hansen? His size is a big asset. Hansen's time here is running out. Matthias still has youth, Hansen has topped out, hes not going to get any better. So far this pre-season and season Hansen has shown far less the Matthias . Wake up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drvannostren Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Seems to me the answer would be Kassian, coach didn't seem too pleased with him during/after the Edmonton game. You can either throw Bo to the wing, or better yet play him in the middle, move Vey or Matthias to a wing position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdgarM Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Wow! 2 games in and already time to tinker? We have depth people no need to move anyone at this point, especially for a rookie who has not proved himself yet. Injuries and long periods of bad play will dictate who sits out. Why is that so hard to understand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEON.KNEE Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 i think matthias or richardson goes for horvat. Richardson...lol...he's been awesome. That guy deserves a spot on this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollieo Del Fuego Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hansen is great as a depth player, that is what we want, depth. Benning isn't going to trade anyone just to get down to 13 forwards, he is going to run 14 forwards and give Willie options night to night. We have so much depth now that we can sit 2 bonafide NHL player's out each game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
