desiboynux4lifee******* Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Why? Because of how I've seen him play in the last 3 years. Fair enough and all I'm saying is if im going to get excited about him; then, he needs to put impressive numbers up in the AHL. Otherwise, he is a average 3rd liner which the Canucks' already have many of. Edited March 8, 2015 by desiboynux4lifee******* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gstank29 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I'm confused why you guys have not expected elite potiental for a 1st rounder take at pick 13. Whereas, Perry was taken 28th in the first round. So why not expect elite potential from Sven? eg Marty St louis because if he was he would still be in calgary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webster6 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Don't forget that Vey's AHL numbers are better than any of our other prospects. Hard to not have good numbers when you're feeding passes to Pearson and Toffoli. Edited March 8, 2015 by Webster6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks1219 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) To be clear, that's what I perceive his potential to be. Whether he reaches that or not is another matter altogether. He has to play for the Canucks right from the start of the next season or clear waivers. 3rd & 4th line minutes & press box time did not help his progression in Calgary, maybe it will in Vancouver. Unless you think he can play 2nd line LW..... Higgins has been our 2nd line LW for the entire season and he can't play as a 2nd line LW. As long as he shows Desjardins that he isn't a liability, along with a consistent effort (something he supposedly needs work on), it isn't a stretch to think he could be in the top-6 relatively quickly. On paper... D.Sedin - H.Sedin - Kassian Baertschi - Bonino - Vrbata ... looks pretty good considering what we've worked with this season. We'll see how he fairs during camp.

Baertschi has a higher offensive upside than Higgins but cannot match his defense and consistency yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post messier's_elbow Posted March 8, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2015 I will get excited with Sven, once he averages 2 - 3 points a game in the AHL, or if he totally dominates with a average of 1.5 points per game and dominates zone time along with +/-. Look! At the age Sven is he needs to be much better then AHL players if he is really going to be a complete player in the NHL.Do you think before you post ? 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks1219 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Baertschi has a higher offensive upside than Higgins but cannot match his defense and consistency yet. Yep, I mentioned as much in my post. My point was more that our LW depth is pathetic right now and (if he can work on his defensive game + shift-to-shift effort) there's no reason he can't surpass Chris Higgins on the depth chart. Well... I say that but Higgins still(!) gets more top-6/PP time than 16-goal man Shawn Matthias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks1219 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 On a side note, though consistency still needs work, Baertschi's actual point production has been pretty good (well, by my standards ) over the last 10 games. 3 goals, 8 assists in those 10 games. 6 assists in his last 4 games.

messier's_elbow Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Some people just don't have the mental hardware to process things well.Apparently not... Looks like Sven is having a great start with Utica that's great to see. He's definitely a playmaker not a shooter. Might look good with McCann in a few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
