Chris for mascot Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I'm sorry if this has been posted already but I haven't posted in awhile.... Can anyone tell me why the coaching staff has not gone back to the well and put the Hansen with Horvat combo back together? That line worked well last year, and would make sense to give a shot, especially while Kenins is up? Sedin Sedin Burrows Hansen Horvat Kenins/Baertschi Vrbata Mcann Higgins Prust Cracknel Dorcett Also for the future: A trade must be on the horizon, especially now that Hammer is out, but who have you guys heard is available? I heard the Tinordi rumours but I feel that's a trade we'd make closer to the deadline for next year, and we need a guy who can come in and play 20 or so minutes..

canuktravella Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 why would tinordi resign with habs next yr hes been a healthy scratch all yr if anything we will trade for him in next few weeks or not at all. hansen is playing better with sedins so horvat will still be playing with baertchi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Hansen is really buzzing with the twins. Hasn't scored in a while but they generate more chances with Hansen than anyone else. We might as well be a 1 line team over a 0 line team. I do agree though, if Hansen goes another couple of games without producing I'd love to see us try something else. One thing AV did that WD hasn't done is really experiment by playing hot players together. Cracknell has been brilliant so far and I really think he deserves a shot with the Sedins. He plays a hard, heavy game, can win puck battles and take the puck hard to the net. That's all the Sedins need. Then there's Vbrata who is slowly cooling off but still generating chances. I say get him up to the top line and go with this: Sedin - Sedin - Vbrata Baertschi - McCann - Burrows Dorsett - Horvat - Hansen (the line that started it all for Horvat) Higgins - Cracknell - Prust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he'll have limited options if Montreal hasnt dealt with the situation by then (which they likely will). He can hold out. Or he can sign an offer sheet. Other than that.

Canada Hockey Place Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Burrows Kesler Hansen Higgins Hodgson Hansen Kenins Horvat Hansen He's played with the last 3 1st round C picks (4 if you include Henrik). Hansen has a knack of helping them develop. It's an impressive pattern IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
