Mattrek Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Yeah ronnie should be in the line up but who sits out ? Or a trade maybe higgins? That's what I'm hoping. Trade Higgins out to add another draft pick and then slot Kenins beside Horvat and Hansen.

Frazzy Desjardins Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Just wait til Shinkaruk blows the doors off this place in the preseason. Tough decisions are ahead, Virtanen too, but I think he goes back to junior and wjhc but who knows. I see Vey as the weak link.. Sedin Sedin Burrows Baertschi Sutter Vrbata Shinkaruk Horvat Dorsett Higgins Vey Hansen Prust/Kenins Prust and Kenins will see lots of ice time, there is always someone injured. Either that or a trade will be made. They said we will carry 14 forwards.

MaxieMan98 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I think the lines will start like this Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Baertschi - Sutter - Vrbata Higgins - Horvat - Hansen Kenins- Prust- Dorsett Vey, Virtanen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Everyone is saying Baertschi will be on the second line. It will most likely happen but its a bad decision. Think about it Kenins Higgins and Prust are way better than him. Also if he is on the fourth line we can spread the toughness around on our team. This is the roster I am hoping for. Daniel Henrik Vrbata Kenins Horvat Hansen Prust Sutter Burrows Baertschi Vey Dorsett Edler Weber Hamhuis Tanev Sbisa Bartkowski Miller Markstrom Extras: Gaunce, Shinkaruk, Grenier, Virtanen, Bachman, Corrado, Biega Not sure I can add to all the criticism. But I am curious. If the OP comes back to look at the responses I would ask what piece of information or data gives rise to the view that Hansen and especially Kenins are legitimate second liners. Same goes for Weber on the 1st D pairing and even for Prust on the 3rd line. Is this just a random semi-troll thread or is there some thinking behind it?

redhdlois Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Benning's already mentioned a few times that Baertschi will/needs (to) be in the top six....so yes, he will be on the 2nd line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuongo Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Vrbata got more goals than burrows And....? I remember an interview awhile ago saying that the Sedins preferred Burr over Vrbata becuase of how they liked to play. Vrbata was able to slot in anywhere in the lineup and contribute. Have you only just started watching the Canucks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadcanucks Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Kenins probably starts opening day otherwise they wouldn't have given him the one way contract. All he needs to do is show what he did his first part of his spell in vancouver - hit and hit and hit. That's what Willie told me would make him successful. I'd put a lot of money on Horvat starting on the second line. $600K one way deal...looks like the kind of money you would be paying the 13th/14th forward to sit up in the press box on game days.

IBatch Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 He might not even make the team. Third line most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanNuck Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Not a good idea. With Vey centering the fourth line, the last person he needs is another finesse-oriented player (and someone who's a defensive liability. If anything, Vey should probably shift to the fourth line wing and have Jones take over as fourth line center. Baertschi should play alongside two fairly defensively-minded forwards, (enter maybe Horvat and Higgins). Linemates like them, they cover so well defensively, Baertschi can concentrate on offense, making rushes, setting up plays, scoring, etc. They could make the second or third line.

alt kilgore Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Vrbata got more goals than burrows Sure Vrbata was happy playing with the Sedins. (until the dry spell) But the Sedins themselves were more productive, and so happier, playing with Burrows because of reliable consistent support. One day maybe Burrows' age (or injury) will catch up, but for now, he's the best triplet the franchise has come across so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420since1974 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Sven needs to play LW on one of the top 2 lines or he'll be a bust. He can't play at C or RW, and he's not tough enough and defensively responsible enough for the 3rd or 4th lines. He also needs a sniper on his line to pass to, Vrbata would be perfect for that role.

canucksnhl Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Get outta here dude. Benning said so himself at the end of the Comets' playoff run that Baertschi will be a top 6 forward next season for the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I don't think there is going to be a fourth line. I can imagine the following bottom 9: Baertschi - Horvat - Hansen Prust - Sutter - Burrows Higgins - Vey - Dorsett The Sutter line will probably play the most, with Sutter and Burrows picking up a few minutes each on the PK, with a bit of PP time. If Burrows moves with the twins move Vrbata down to the Horvat line, Hansen down with Sutter and Prust as the primary checkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 No. As it stands right now: Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Baertschi - Sutter - Vrbata Higgins - Horvat - Hansen Prust - Vey - Dorsett 13th forward: Kenins Don't worry, Bo -- won't be long before you get players who can actually play with and complement your skill level. I understand Higgins on the third line, but would rather see Kenins with Horvat and Hansen as they had great chemistry. Kenins has shown already he has better finish than Higgins, not to mention better physicality. Defense is something he certainly needs to improve on, however.
