Toyotasfan Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 When Sutter returns to the line up Saturday it creates an interesting lineup problem, how will he be slotted in? Top line probably but what will the 4th line be? Maybe something like this? Daniel Sedin - Brandon Sutter - Jannik Hansen Sven Baertschi - Bo Horvat - Radim Vrbata Alexandre Burrows - Linden Vey - Emerson Etem Derek Dorsett -Jared McCann- Jake Virtanen Alexander Edler - Christopher Tanev Ben Hutton - Luca Sbisa Matt Bartkowski - Alex Biega Ryan Miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRypien37 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Woah, we have an elite D playing as our 1C. Damn JB really going full out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks Prophet Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Wrong Sutter, sir. But that aside, I think it's a pretty realistic lineup if he returns before Henrik does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucktican Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Is he actually coming back against the pens or is this is a "if he comes back" thread?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucktican Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 If he does come back though, what a boost it'll be for the team. We need our top 2 centers back so badly now that we are in the hunt for the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I don't think he'll be thrown into the top line on his first game back. Probably the third or fourth line Edit: I don't know how you separate Vey and Etem at this point though, and you can't play those two on your fourth line...

jmahyoung Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 The Canucks just upgraded over every center position. This is good news for everyone except tank nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoughtysCheck Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I hope we slot him on defence. He would be an upgrade over Bartkowski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 With how well they've been hanging in, why not hold out 'til we get home(at least)? Play out the last coupla' games, & he'd get a bonus 2 wks, to be 100% sure his groin is ok. They've stolen so many pts, it's like house money gamblin' 'til the break. Vey's been playing well, & this Zal-kid sounds like he can play. In Feb, we can look forward to the return of Suts, our C, & Hammy..Patience.

Ossi Vaananen Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 respect those hyper links. There was a topic like this floating around, but I'm too lazy to go find it. So let's use this one. With Sutter back, I think one or both of Vrbata/Prust get moved. Vey has quietly earned his spot on this team, while Virtanen seems to have taken big strides since the WJC. In addition to this, the acquisition and strong performance of Etem has solidified another roster spot. This forces the veteran pending UFAs out, as the deadline approaches their value increases. Anyways, I say throw Sutter back on the wing and have him take the faceoffs for Jared. Sedin McCann Sutter Baertschi Horvat Hansen Burrows Vey Etem Dorsett Cracknell Virtanen When H. Sedin comes back: Sedin Sedin Sutter Baertschi Horvat Hansen Burrows Vey Etem Dorsett McCann Virtanen (Cracknell) I think with Sutter returning, we're looking at some more moves coming.

SaintPatrick33 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I think he should take his time and ensure this is not a lingering type injury. Right now we can afford to have him out of the lineup given how the young guys have been playing. We need Sutter to be at full health, he is an excellent PK guy and can play 2nd line minutes. He also is our best faceoff man, something we need badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 After tonite's game we can afford to rest him and bring him back after the all star break. Get that groin healed up proper for the stretch run and (dare I say it?) ..the first round of the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, it would likely be McCann getting a game off. Benning said the rookies would be getting scheduled games off. McCann hasn't because of injuries. So he's likely due.
