nuck7635 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Some seriously slick moves from Sven vs the Panthers tonight. His fake pass to the point (I think) completely faked out the Panthers d-man and opened up a ton of ice for him. The fake slapper to Horvat would've been a goal if Horvat wasn't tied up. Also noticed he either got stronger or he's just buckling down more, he had nice run at Ekblad and spun him out completely which was impressive and he's definitely been finishing up his checks into the boards with a bit more umph. Made a really nice feed to Burr too. Guy just keeps getting better, just wish it was showing up on the scoreboard a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ceiling is higher than Granny's and he's better atm, making him more valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that the spread sheet is all set up it actually doesn't take much time to enter the stats for a game. 10 minutes tops, which I enjoy as a bit of a wind down activity. Used to do stats for a hockey pool but all the online pools out there render that service moot so this is my stat nerd outlet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ceiling is higher than Granny's and he's better atm, making him more valuable. One of the main reasons we are now in a playoff position is the fact that we are actually getting balanced scoring. We are still not remotely a scoring machine, but I think it is essential that we keep these players who are balancing the scoring if the Sedins and Eriksson aren't going to produce as well as expected. This includes BOTH Granlund and Baertschi - especially at the pace they are both progressing. I know we have no choice but to expose players we would rather not, but I'm hoping Benning weaves his magic to keep both.

CaptainKool Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 so I guess Gaunce will be back since Baertschi is out due to concussion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaner Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Not sure why, but I get the same feeling about Sven as I did about McCann. For some reason, I feel he's not in the clubs long term plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like Baer will be the odd man out. Nice guy though. I really like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsurrey Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Classic tweener... Not enough skill to be elite 2nd liner..... Not enough grit to play bottom six...

Yup we need mongrel out of Sven. He should be rooming with Burrows. Show him how to stick in the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, I feel he's not in the clubs long term plans. Disagree, but in a good way. Your comment is fair. However, I think they like Baertschi, Horvat, Granlund, and on D Stecher, Tryamkin, Hutton and Guddy all for the long term. This is frankly a bonus because as Linden said 2 years ago, the real growth of this team is coming from the draft. This is still true but Benning has been able to find some keepers from the place holders that I think were expected. Obviously, some of these guys were drafted by the Canucks. These guys will be the middle 6 or bottom 4 of the new team. None of them besides Horvat (and maybe a surprise or 2 from the others) are going to be top line or top pair. And the good news is that they didn't cost much, the Canucks didn't have much to pay when these guys were acquired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
