Snake Doctor Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 If we are going to lose, I would rather we see Jensen and Shinkaruk on the second line and trade Burrows (if he waived NTC) and Higgins. At least these kids will get the experience at the NHL level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Old Orca Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I am new to this site but I need a little clarification on what Nicholas Bo Hunter posted. I follow the Canucks a lot and read and listen to almost everything that Linden and Jim Benning has said in interviews.. Did I miss somewhere that they posted or said that Hansen, Burrows or Higgens will not wave their NTC? PLease help. Or is it just a suspicion> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it just a suspicion> He's just speculating I don't know what all three have but none of them have a non movement clause It's very possible to trade someone with a non trade especially Hansen I believe has a limited no trade clause Unfortunately nows not the time to trade Low value better off holding off till teams get more desperate Too many teams still finding out what they have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinphase Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Burrows was great tonight against st. louis. Shinkaruk would be the better sniper over Jensen. But then our second line would get even smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollarAndADream Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Jensen needs to get better in Utica I'd think. Seeing his last game he had a lot of shots, but they didn't have much power in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFCanuck Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I'm posting this ahead of tonight's game because I'm confident our 2nd line will have the same outcome as previous games. I'm tired of the same old same old burrows, Higgins line. It didn't work last year with Kesler as the center why would it work now? We need to inject a talented sniper to turn that line around Bonino is a playmaker, so who is supposed to be the goal scorer on that line up? It's not burrows so your saying Higgins is our secondary scoring. Bonino had a breakout year last year playing with players that can put the puck in the net. Bring up Jensen! Not because he scored a goal last night, but because he earned a spot at training camp and is one of those players that plays better on the big club. Plays better with players that can set him up. He is the talented goal scorer that second line needs. Not only does he deliver that game changing ability but he injects some excitement to the line. That second line and bonino desperately need a guy like Jensen Bring him up! Your Confidence = Failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_The_Schneid! Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 I simply said I was tired of our second line . So Higgins finally scored 1 goal I've only given bonino high praise I just want to surround him with a sniper Higgins got one goal so the line can stay together for another week It's still an adequate 2nd line I never said otherwise Just that I think Jensen would provide a better offensive punch and add an increased level of excitement to the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm posting this ahead of tonight's game because I'm confident our 2nd line will have the same outcome as previous games. [...] And this is Higgins's 2nd goal and the 2nd line has combined for 5 goals (Bonino = 2, Higgins = 2, Burrows = 1) so far in 6 games. For comparison, the 1st line has combined for 7 (Vrbata = 4, Henrik = 2, Daniel = 1). Vey, Kassian and Hansen each have 2 goals, and Alex Edler has the lone goal from the blue line.

Nino Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Leave him alone in Utica. He won't make a huge difference up here and I think he has plenty to gain from his tenure there. For what it's worth I watched the game last night and he was the best player on the ice for either team. Nice to hear, was hopping to get a report from someone.

I goal a week is pretty good when we started the season only playing about 3 games in the first 10 days. Wait another few weeks, if their still potting in a goal a week, then yes, make some changes.

Which so far Higgins, Burrows and Bonino are on pace for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dasein Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Nicklas Jensen = 3G3A 6P in 17GP last season while playing with the Sedins. He has a better shot than Higgins and Burrows, yes. But he doesn't have the defensive awareness nor the board battle skills to warrant a spot on the top 6 yet. And his production in the AHL has to go up too. So far both Gaunce and Shinkaruk have outproduced him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Burrows- 1 goal-3 assists-4 points in 6 games Bonino- 2 goals-2 assists-4 points in 6 games Higgins- 2 goals-1 assist-3 points in 6 games Seem like respectable 2nd line numbers to me. Not great, but respectable. If Bonino, Burrows and Higgins keep that pace up for most of the year, I'll be happy. The point is to keep the team competitive while we build our prospect pool and get them ready for the big leagues. I much prefer this route to the "Let's tank for McDavid" mindset.

So far both Gaunce and Shinkaruk have outproduced him. I would like to point out that its not all about points. You can get assists pretty easy and shinkaruks goal was a luck tip in. Reason why jensen's points are lower is because his line has not producedvmuch offense. Hard to do it all on his own. Cal o'reilly has had a tough start.
