thejazz97 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 That would be a great 2nd line. Baertschi Horvat Vrbata But isnt Baertschi a RW? Erm, no. Just checked the AHL site, and they say he's a LW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Couple of games against weak defensive teams that we should win easily. I'd like to see Baertschi get another shot. Even though Kenins certainly didn't play his way off the Horvat line, Baertschi needs to prove himself and needs a bigger sample size than 1 big game. Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Higgins - Bonino - Vbrata Kenins - Horvat - Hansen Baertschi - Matthias - Vey/Dorsett IMO we scratch Dorsett for the Arizona game. Shouldn't be too feisty, hopefully they don't come ready to play and don't go around hitting. I'd like to see what Baertschi can do with some skilled linemates, but he's not going to be starting off with Vbrata (which is what I'd ideally like to see at some point, they'd definately complement each other well and Vbrata would be a great mentor for Sven).

Yeah, he needs to prove himself, but he can't do that on the third or fourth line, really. In Calgary, the only time he scored goals was at 14+ minutes a game.

Boudrias Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 It makes sense to sit a Dorsett for maintenance reasons if needed. Kennans might be a game decision but he has huge playoff value from a physical perspective. Playoff hockey requires that physicality. He has enough NHL games now to have a good idea what coaching wants. Sven B's offense is tantalizing but there is no time to nurse him along unless a injury brings him in.

Erik Karlsson Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Sedin's should be rested next game and we should give the younger guys bigger roles to up their confidence for the playoffs. Baertschi-Bonino-Vrbata Kenins-Horvat-Hansen Higgins-Vey-Burrows Mcmillan-Matthias-Dorsett That first line will show us what Baertschi can really do, also gives Mcmillan a game in case he's needed for the playoffs.

Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 So when does Bärtschi become eligible for waivers? He's logged quite a few pro seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 So when does Bärtschi become eligible for waivers? He's logged quite a few pro seasons. Next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Next year. So he probably HAS to make the team next season or we probably lose him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 So he probably HAS to make the team next season or we probably lose him. He'll be next year's Horvat. You know that one (at least) of Matthias and Richardson is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred65 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Bärtschi and Clendening both have to make the Vcr team or they need to go on waivers to get them down to Utica Don't like Webers chances, shame because he looked good and the better of the 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejazz97 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 2 way contracts have no effect on waiver eligibility. Then what is the point of them? I thought that was the whole deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73 Percent Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Then what is the point of them? I thought that was the whole deal.the team who owns your contract can pay you a different wage according to what league your currently playing in. A player with a one way makes the same salary nomatter if he plays in the ahl or nhl. A player with a 2 way will recive more money if he plays in the nhl rather that the kibbles he'll makes playing in the AHL. Im not sure the exact spec. But waiver eligibility has all to do with age/games played in pro. Edited April 8, 2015 by Gooseberries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dasein Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Honestly, I could see us keeping Weber over Clendening if he has a big playoffs on the 1st PP unit I could also see us rotate Clendening and Corrado next year on the right side (Tanev, Bieksa being permanent) - in which case Weber would be gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, why in the world would you do that? You're basically giving up on a young prospect who could very well do what Weber does while possessing a high potential to be better than Weber ever was once he hits his prime.

elvis15 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Then what is the point of them? I thought that was the whole deal. Only in the EA Sports NHL games is that 'the whole deal.' As Goose mentioned, in the real world it's more about cost savings for a player on a two-way deal who would be more likely to be sent down to the AHL and then save the NHL club hundreds of thousands over a year. It's a coincidence that they'd also be waiver exempt, or at least not good enough for waivers to matter, since they'd be more likely to be sent down or else have earned a one-way deal.

Crabcakes Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Edler - Tanev Hamhuis - Weber Sbisa - Bieksa Stanton - Clendening Corrado and Biega are down because they can be Weber and Stanton are moveable but there are good arguments to keep them both. Weber Cap friendly. Is an RFA. Present cap hit is $850 could resign for $1.2. Is a right shot so may be let go in favour of a young guy but he has played very well since the Canucks had injury trouble and he has recently shown himself to be the most effective point man on the pp. Tough to let this guy slide. Stanton is serviceable and works cheap. Is an RFA currently earning $550. I could see letting him go in favour of a young player but he plays on the left and all the ready young guys play on the right. Hammer and Bieksa are character guys and still play well. We know how Benning feels about character. Wouldn't be surprised if Hamhuis gets surgery and misses the first couple of months next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
