TheRussianRocket. Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Talk about a log jam at forward folks. Can't remember the Canucks ever having this much quality depth and options. Remember before the 4th line would be composed of AHLers for the most part and they'd only get a handful of shifts. Props to Benning big time and WD for giving these many weapons. Sestito played great last night but I'd scratch him just because you don't want to take away one of the others chances with Tom instead. Dorsett has been reliable all year long, Vey has looked better and better lately and Matthias has become our staple on the bottom 6. This is what I'd like to see: Dank - Hank - Vrbata Higgins - Bonino - Kassian/Burrows Matthias - Richardson - Hansen/Kassian Dorsett - Horvat - Burrows/Hansen ...Burrows has looked great when slotted with Bo and I like that look so I wouldn't mind giving it a few more games and see where it leads to. Vey & Sestito are the odd men out imo but not as a punishment, just cause the depth. And as good as Vey has looked, he just doesn't fit. As of now, not really up to par to be a top 6er and doesn't have the size and defensive awareness in the bottom 6. Bit of an odd spot for him but he's trying and getting better. Sestito-Dorsett & Vey-Horvat should be the alternate pairs throughout the year unless injuries occur with Bo & Derek getting most of the games.

Guest Dasein Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 It's probably be Vey - I don't see a veteran taken out or Horvat, who is an effective 4th line center now. If we continue to be healthy, it'll be Vey until WD thinks Bo needs a break or is struggling IMO. Could also be Kassian if he struggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gross-Misconduct Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I want Kass to finally get a real look on the 2nd line. The time for excuses is over. I say put him there and give him the minutes and let's see if he sinks or swims. So long as he is in the bottom 6, the endless parade of excuses will continue.

Especially with Burrows finding a home alongside Bo, makes the most sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Missing the Wjr's I'd highly doubt they'd sit Bo, unless the next game calls for it. Might be nice to dress Sestito's size for a game vs one of the California 3. If Vey dresses, I'd consider resting Bonino for one tilt. Good kid, but bit of a slump. Vs Ana: Twins-Vrbaddass Higgins-Bonino-Kassian/Hansen Matthias-Richardson-Hansen/Kassian(Vey, if Jannik isn't ready) Burrows-Horvat-Dorsett(like this line as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desiboynux4lifee******* Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 just rotate between kassian,vey, hansen, and maybe sessito ( come on you guys are hyping up sessito too much. he will be a nonfactor against LA. He had his chances before against LA) So yeah this is why I feel switching between hansen,vey and kassian will be the best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackcanuck Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 No need for Sestito in San Jose, John Scott will be suspended NHL Player Safety @NHLPlayerSafety 2h2 hours ago San Jose's John Scott will have a phone hearing tomorrow afternoon for punching an unsuspecting opponent, Anaheim's Tim Jackman.

Nuxfanabroad Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Does a ph hearing indicate definite suspension; or might they be giving advice/encouragement on assaulting our squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Vey will sit which isn't bad since he's just a rookie. He should get some quality practice time to work on his game. Kassian needs games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyHatnDart Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Does anybody know what Vey's status is as far as waivers goes? Will he have to clear if sent to the AHL? Just out of curiousity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think yes - that's why LA traded him for a draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whale Tail Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Any word on when Kassian is returning? I wonder if Canucks will try to send him down to the AHL for a 2 week conditioning sprint. May be good for him. Get some goals and confidence back after the injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't and won't be waived. If anyone gets waived it is Sestito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
