austy Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 That's really a great idea! From what I have learned of Cassels, he would be perfect with twins. I wonder if we might see this combination in the spring of 2016? who plays center? I have wondered what Henrik would be like as a winger as he gets older.

jdatb Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Boesser is probably our best bet as turning into a first liner, out of all our prospects. I'm hoping to watch as many of his games as possible this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollieo Del Fuego Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Cassels with the Sedins was a bit of an "out there" idea of mine but Henrik would be the centre and probably take draws on his strong side. As for Boeser which is the thread we are in...he probably projects as the likely winger if not Jake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdatb Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 as said with our first round pick every year... Well... What I meant by that was our other picks don't look like they have super great chances of being first line forwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nave Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) who plays center? I have wondered what Henrik would be like as a winger as he gets older. I was thinking of putting the Sedins with Sutter, as that could be like Kesler on the powerplay; with Sutter and Henrik taking turns taking draws. I think Cassels will be a very good center, but I'm not sure where he'd get to play. However, I think Gaunce Cassels Grenier would be a good line. Might even work well with Virtanen.

Psycho_Path Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Kennins and Cassels on a line with whoever would be solid. I look forward to hopefully seeing that in the future. Ya, Boeser looks like he's got 1st line offense from what I've seen of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 He's only 19 and hence, yes 'skinny'. Currently 6'0" 180lbs, likely end up around Henrik's size maybe a bit shorter but a touch heavier would be my guess. 6'0"-6'1" and 190-200 in his prime I'd guess. Tenacious, with a chip on his shoulder, good 2-way play and a wicked shot. According to a recent article (in his thread here) he's 6'1 187 now. Both he and Cassels are in that range already.

canucklehead44 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I read one re-draft article that put Horvat at 7th. Mackinnon, Barkov, Monahan, Jones are top 4 untouched. Lindholm, Ristolainen, and Horvat are the next group where they are contributing players who look like great picks. Next you have Droiun and Nichushkin who have a tonne of potential but aren't quite there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 According to a recent article (in his thread here) he's 6'1 187 now. Both he and Cassels are in that range already. I just went off the Canucks/NHL.com page info...but that's even better. He may just get in to 200-205 territory in his prime then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I just went off the Canucks/NHL.com page info...but that's even better. He may just get in to 200-205 territory in his prime then Hey, that's pretty heavy. With Boeser's natural gift for getting open, super quick release, and knack for twinkling the twine, I wonder if he might have top line potential, with a really good set up man? Maybe, in a couple of years, the Twins are on a line with Boeser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I think Boeser will stay down a bit longer unless way more trades are done and by the sounds of it people here on the boards hate when anyone is trade for anything less then 3 1st's LOL!

Nave Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 We may have to do trades in order to bring young guys in. However, Boeser gives us time to do that because he's with a great program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic 8-Ball Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) This. It went from being about Horvat, MacKinnon, Monahan and Boeser to Hutton, Subban and Tryamkin. At least the first side conversation still had Boeser in it. I said stop replying to Alflives, and now I'll say stop replying to Master Canuck. He clearly doesn't understand the likelihood of one of our D being projectable as elite at this stage and it seems he's just trolling you all to continue to keep this off topic. Back to Boeser please. At the rate they're going through prospects, I'm sure the topic will shift back to Boeser soon via process of elimination. Edit: Woops, thought that was more recent. My bad.

Maybe we need to move some vets just to make room for the young guys? Boeser is going to be a couple of years yet. But he could surprise, and develop quickly?

VanNuck Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Heading into the draft, it seemed like Jeremy Roy was the concensus first pick among the fans. We needed an offensive defenseman badly and Roy seemed like the ideal fit. In hindsight, if we did the draft over again, who would have picked Roy over Boser?

Most people didn't even know of him at the time. Now that we have all new info and have learned he is a pretty great player, I'm guessing people are going to go with him. He is pretty good, and our shiny new toy, but I really wanted a defenseman. I think we are going to regret not getting one in the first round this year. Or last year. Or the year before that etc....
