Rex425 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Only being realistic friend. Nichushkin has much more elite offensive ability Too bad the overrated Nichushkin had 0 goals in any league this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Bo does not strike as a guy who succumbs to pressure, but rather ups his game. See: playoffs. Willie has handled him well, and will give him more and more rope as he runs with it. STUD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I loved the determination and grit he played with in the bottom 6. He lines up really well with guys like Hansen/Kenins who forecheck hard. Benning said he was a net presence for the team. Not sure whether Vrbata are the types of players he would have good chemistry with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Look at the playmaking and the skill level, especially on that last play. That is no bottom-6 forward, and I think he's going to really surprise us how good he'll be and the points he'll put up. STUD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Only being realistic friend. Nichushkin has much more elite offensive ability And far less effective defensively and in other areas. You're answering a question the thread isn't asking. But for Bo, how about we don't rush him, okay? Many players slump in their second year and adding more to his plate could well lead to that. Let's let him settle into the 3rd line role and see what he can do before we anoint him ahead of Bonino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I dunno but he's better than that overpaid diver named Kesler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANUCK-EXPRESS Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 No. Stick on the 3rd/4th line. Too bad. Could have a #1 RW to play with the Sedins in Nichushkin but oh well. He's a solid player but 50 point 2C is max i see him as. Bonino is much better than Horvat in this league right now.Horvat will be a much better player than Nichushkin mark my words.

shazzam Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 No need to rush him at all. He should play where he best improves in development. I think he should be getting PP time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Not as a regular next season. But he is only getting better. I see him starting on the third line in the middle and moving up on the second line, if needed, in case of an injury or if Desjardins decides to juggle the lines and experiment for just a couple of games.

jstewboy Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Only being realistic friend. Nichushkin has much more elite offensive ability Yea, his 0.06 PPG more than Horvat in the NHL is elite alright. Horvat is a better hockey player from the roots up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Lol this guy dominates Vey and Bonino in virtually every aspect except age. He's our second line center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rounoush Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Oh for sure he could easily be. I mean, at this point, we don't have a true 2nd line but a 1st line and three 3rd lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Maybe not to start the season but by christmas I think so. Playing with the right players 40 points for Bo is not out of question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 He will determine that for us. All I can say is that I've definitely seen the potential there. He's shown flashes of offensive brilliance and has also show flashes of defensive brilliance. Let's hope he can get both going consistently.

apollo Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 We have 3 above average second lines Bo is a 2c slash borderline 3c on any line he plays on. Vey will push him. Nux are a beauty down center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUD wasn't speed his biggest weakness? he improved so much... playmaking, hands, creativity and vision...he has so much talent, in my book he's the go to guy and can handle 2c duty. but what about his shooting ability? he seems to score clutchs goals, but what about clean shots?

Gaudette Celly Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 but what about his shooting ability? he seems to score clutchs goals, but what about clean shots? He'll go to the net to get greasy goals, but remember his wristers against NYI and Anaheim? He's really well-rounded already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaku Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Bo will be a 3c at the start, in my opinion. But if he plays like he did the last part of the year, and in the playoffs, he is going to be a 2C very quickly. The guy has so much skill, good size, awesome speed, incredible hands, and a determination of a pro. I love this kid, he will be a cornerstone for this franchise for years to come.
