orcasgonewild Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Hello everyone, I hope you all had a great day today! I understand a lot of us can't wait for draft day but I wanted to get everyone's opinions on something else. Team North America in the World Cup of hockey will be a 23 and under squad so I just wanted to know what your Canucks 23 and under squad would look like. The rules are... 1) you can only use players in the Canucks organization currently, this is including prospects 2) obviously players must be 23 and under 3) you can use current rfa if u think they will get resigned 4) you are not allowed to use draft picks from this years draft have fun!!! mine would be... baertschi horvat Virtanen gaunce McCann boeser Zhukenov cassels etem gaudette granlund jasek Hutton tryamkin pedan subban olsen Brisebois demko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget that Horvat and Baertschi outscored and outplayed the Sedins in the second half of last season, and obviously are trending in a different direction.) Your team is not bad, but Zalewksi (still 23) is significantly ahead of Cassels at 3C. Actually, I would move Granlund to 3C and have Zalewski at 4C. And I would swap Virtanen and Boeser, and put Tkachuk or Dubois in at 3LW. That would not be a bad-looking team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bissurnette Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Our LW quality depth is looking mighty weak. All the more reason to take a forward this year. Personally I prefer Tkachuk but either him or Dubois would be a massive step in our rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go easy on lucky- low cap hit, is consistent and gets the job done. Nothing flashy, but a winner. 9 hours ago, Whale Tail said: +1 for the Hoyne shout out Love that brewery, Sean's got skills, 1st pairing D for sure.

Guiness was my 7th D because he's too heavy and skates like crap, dude really only plays well in mid March anyways. The 3rd line will get enough PIM and are a fiesty bunch as is, but considering the soft 3rd pairing of Heiny-Stella, I'm fine with rotating Stella out for Business, especially against West teams. Stella's like my Yanick Weber, only difference is my wife likes Stella.. Screw it, Guiness it is. 10 minutes ago, hlinkas wrister said: That fourth line looks like it would make the team hungry for success. That, and they're really good in the locker room. Calm everyone down, help the guys see the bigger picture, while still doing a helluva job getting' er done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing and almost edited my post. You right. Being one of the best D's in the NCAA (Stecher) definitely trumps being a good D in the Q. Of course Brisbois is younger and might overtake Stecher, but right now Stecher has to be the better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nergish Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Why 23? Guys like Tanev and Markstrom are still part of the "young core". but yeah obviously Bo is the leader, Demko is our franchise goaltender, Dubois/Tkachuk has to lead us in points, followed by Boeser as top goal scorer, then McCann, Baertschi, and secret weapon Jake. Hutton, Tryamkin, Stecher, Brisebois on D. Maybe Subban as a PP specialist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
