Zuongo Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Will Baertschi Sutter Burrows make a sick third line let me know and if they do please make a lineup for our team Daniel Henrik Vrbata Higgins Horvat Hansen Baertschi Sutter Burrows Kenins Prust Dorsett JESUS. Our 3rd line looks better than the 2nd... and Kenny, Prust, Dorsett??? Most grinder line out there. You made a line up post like a week ago, stop changing a player then posting it again. We have tons of these already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 We need a Higgins Sutter Vrbata thread, then the Baertschi Sutter Hansen thread. And the Baertschi Sutter Virtanen thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nino Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Rather Burrows play with the Sedins. He doesn't disappear in the playoffs like Vrbata. That second line is never going to happen either. Your third line will be the second line, possibly with Vrbata on RW. ^^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanuck Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Sedin Sedin Burrows Grenier Sutter Baer Dorsett Horvat Hansen Prust Vey Kenins Friesen? This is based on what i saw in Utica and the performance on some of the players. Of course it is subject to change. Grenier has one mediocre season on a very deep Utica team and you pencil him into the second line apparently replacing a 2x 30 goal scorer, nice.

riley57 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 My lineup would probably be (to start the season): Sedin - Sedin- Vrbata Baertschi - Sutter - Burrows Higgins - Horvat - Hansen (TRIPLE H LINE!) Prust - Vey - Dorsett I was really reluctant to put Baertschi on the 2nd line however when I looked at the Higgins Sutter Burrows line I failed to see any kind of scoring coming out of that line. I believe Sutter is a better scorer than meets the eye but the point still stands, that would be a shutdown line and maybe a turnover-other way-score kind of line that scores sparsely off mistake-prone teams. With Baertschi they'd have a good set-up man sheltered by two defensively minded forwards that can finish. The reason I didn't want to put Burrows with the Sedins to start the season is because the start of the season is often open, mistake-prone hockey which is what that line can eat up like dessert. The Higgins - Horvat - Hansen line would be pretty great, as Hansen basically supplies the same role that Kenins does that Horvat needs, which is a fast, hard-working winger. I think Kenins is Hansen-lite. Higgins is a guy that sometimes confounds me. He's better than he often shows, and he has hands that he rarely uses. But honestly, that line would be hell to play against. Then the Prust - Vey - Dorsett line which... I'm back and forth about. Dorsett was uncharacteristically bad last year possession-wise, and I do believe that could improve IF Vey uses his offensive ability to become a driver of possession on behalf of Prust, who will probably lessen the load on Dorsett injury-wise. I didn't believe in the whole "we need another enforcer to make people respect us" but I do believe that Dorsett's play suffered due to the fact that he had to carry the load of a team that isn't all that physically inclined. Perhaps the addition of Prust will help him out, and especially the fact that he won't have to play left wing. I hope this is how it shapes up, because this lineup looks, in theory, pretty contender-worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monteeun Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Grenier has one mediocre season on a very deep Utica team and you pencil him into the second line apparently replacing a 2x 30 goal scorer, nice. You can call it whatever line you want. 2 or 3, it doesn't matter. If he does well in September, injecting youth is always a positive thing. Apparently you misunderstood that. And if you saw it as replacing, then that's on you. However, if you want to continue with a 2x 30 goal scorer who disappeared in the playoffs? Ok. No change then. If you don't agree with the chemistry of the lineup...give me yours. I thought with Grenier Sutter Baer might offer some balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcakes Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 There are 3 guys you should be listening to talk about the Canucks imo: Linden, Benning and Weisbrod. Everybody else injects a certain amount of their own opinion and as such is probably at least a little bit wrong. Having said that, more than one of the above guys have said that the addition of Sutter means that they don't have to push Horvat to be a 2nd line player before he's ready. Horvat himself will let us know when he is ready by his play. So, to start the season, I'm going to make a wild assumption. Horvat will be on the 3rd line on opening night. Or Or Sedin Sedin Burrows Baertschi Sutter Vrbata Higgins Horvat Hansen Dorsett Horvat Hansen Higgins Horvat Hansen Dorsett Vey Prust Higgins Vey Prust Dorsett Vey Virtanen Baer might even flip with Higgins at some point but I don't think anybody really wants to see that. I've got Kenins as 13th man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those lines look doable, at least for the time being. Assuming someone surprises us at training camp. Apart of me feels that, if Horvat does well, the Sutter line and the Horvat line can be very flexible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they don't even make the playoffs without the 2× 30 goal scorer you so easily replace with a rookie so...I'll give Virby a break since no one else showed in the playoffs either unfortunately.

Edlerberry Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 let me know and if they do please make a lineup for our team you should email Linden, this seems press conference worthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honky Cat Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Jake Virtanen anyone? Exactly...I think a more interesting question,is.. who will be Jakes line mates..?...Do you want him on a fourth line..?..Or would he be better suited playing with players with more of an offence..?..
