[Discussion] the Canucks in 5 years...


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, i made a mock up of what i think the future Canucks could look like since we just finished the draft i thought now would be the time. the following includes a list of safe bets that should be expected to be playing in the NHL along with their ages and the non-crossed out players in my opinion will be playing for the Canucks followed by a list of more risky picks along with their ages.

Safe bets:

Horvat (25)

Virtanen (24)

Boeser (23)

McCann (24)

Demko (25)

Gaunce (26)

Corrado (27)

Grenier (27)

Pedan (25)

Brisboise (22)

Kenins (29)

Riskier picks:

Baertschi (27)

Clendening (27)

Shinkaruk (25)

Subban (24)

Jensen (26)

Pettit (24)

Neill (23)

Gaudette (23)

Jasek (22)

Olson (23)

Zhukenov (23)

Tryamkin (26)

I may of left some prospects out but that's okay because that means they aren't really relevant enough to make the roster....

Other players that should be expected to be playing for the Canucks in 5 years time should probably include the following among others;

Chris Tanev (30)

Luca Sbisa (30)

Sedins (39)

hopefully something like this could be arranged?

(if everybody reaches about their ceiling or about higher)

**may not be realistic but would be cool**

Baertschi - Zhukenov - Virtanen

Shinkaruk - Horvat - Boeser

Sedin - Sedin - Jasek

Gaunce (LW) - Cassels - Grenier

Subban - Tanev

Sbisa - Brisboise

Tryamkin - Pedan

Demko

PP: Sedin - Sedin - Virtanen

Subban - Baertschi

PK: Gaunce - Horvat - Cassels

Tryamkin - Pedan

Horvat ©: I think Horvat will be a great shutdown two-way center with more developed offensive abilities playing with offensive yet defensively responsible [players could lead to a line you don't want to mess with.

Sedins (A): The Sedins will have aged in 5 years and would slowly be demoted to the 3rd line and PP time because that's where they work their magic.

Cassels (A): A great future shutdown center, great on the boards and with face offs, a chippy player who can get under the opponents skin, has decent offensive upside by getting to the dirty areas.

Tryamkin - Pedan: 3rd pairing Russian shutdown defense man you don't want to f* with.

Jasek: a young Czech player even in 5 years. a cerebral Sedin like player finally that right winger we have been looking for, why couldn't you come sooner?

Grenier: a big bodies player who can protect the puck well tasked with playing alongside Gaunce and Cassels two defensive specialists

Subban - Tanev: A great 1st pairing, a highly offensive and a highly defensive dman

Any specific reason you don't foresee McCann sticking with the team? Not flaming but curious.

yeah i had him on the 3rd line with the Sedins because that was the only place i could fit him an that in itself didnt make much sense because i see him more like a top center and if he were to stick with the canucks he would probably be moved to right wing and Jasek then made more sense because he is described as a cerebral sedin like player and thought that could be a good effective line he could learn a lot from playing on

so basically Jasek/McCann

on a side note:

when you look at the team altogether it doesn't look like much but when segmented into individual lines you can see their intended roles....

Baertschi - Horvat - Virtanen

Shinkaruk - McCann - UFA sniper

Sedin - Sedin - Boeser

Vey - Gaunce - Cassels

UFA/trade - Tanev

Edler - Clendening

Sbisa - Corrado

Markstrom

Demko

Pretty cappy compared to some other prospect pools out there but hopefully Horvat, Cassels, McCann, Baertschi, Virtanen, Clendening, Corrado and Markstrom are good enough to be full-time NHLers or big trades will be needed.

Not crappy in my eyes (forward line-up). 4th line is however. We need a bit more toughness overall. Im not liking our back-end prospect depth.
