Tryamkin, Pedan, Biega, Larsen and maybe even Stetcher will be making strong cases and Sbisa might be booted out of the top 6 depending on how everyone else does. Jordan Subban might surprise too.

SilentSam Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I've posted this vid clip from last season of Philip Larsen before.. But we may have grabbed Larsen just as he is going into his prime. His confidence with the puck, skating ability, quick release and ability to hit the net, speaks volumes about his potential. Because of our physically upgraded cast on D,.. If he makes the team, and is given fair opportunity,. he could quite possibly be the best offensive playmaking and scoring defense man we have had in years.

I fully expect him to challenge, but he will be back in Utica this year, getting stronger. I think he will be first or second call up this year for injury replacement.

It's not his offense that worries me, it's his defense, which isn't noted as a strength. It doesn't matter how many points you put up if you play like Yannick Weber in your own end. He needs to prove he can actually play DEFENSE before he makes the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Fingers Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Larsen is a long shot. He can shoot the puck and may provide much needed offense from our defence. He only needs to be slightly better than a forward on defence 5 v 5. Who ever his partner is will be the first man back. Hopefully his skating is a strong point, it does make up for defensive weakness. He wont be a bet clearing force, but we have a lot more of that than last year. EW.

Fred65 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Here's a question for Larsen. Do you play him with a defensive winger to make up for his errors or do play him wiyh an all out offensive forward line ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odjick_fan Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 You gotta play him with a defensive D, cuz it looks like he likes to join the rush. Need someone like Tryamkin so 3rd pairing should be great for them and i think they both like playing their offwing. Should be fun to watch. Cant wait for puck drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hansen Bo and Baer would be a good 5 v 5 unit with Larsen and Sbisa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butters Stoch Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Don't need hype to be good. I honestly thought Ben Hutton was some older depth guy we had, like a Biega, until the start of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a couple hours away from Spokane so cheap Vegas flights here I come. Game tickets shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can get a whole group together for the first game and just break the price up. I know I have at least one contact from their sales team, but I don't think they are ready to discuss boxes for individual games yet. when I get the info, I'll start a thread and see if we can get enough people to commit to make it worthwhile.

Sounds very interesting! Since making the trip worthwhile means a double header the 2nd team becomes interesting. Hopefully a Van/Edmonton combo would be available.

I now have a discussion going with one of their sales guys and have him as a connection on LinkedIn. Its funny, he used to work for the Utica Comets before taking this job. They haven't finalized box prices yet, but I'd love to know how many people would be interested in coming down if we could swing a Canucks box for the first game. He's going to let me know as soon as he has more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
