Who is this guy and how is he still in top 27 as i have not even seen him in a game yet ??

 

Has he got a chance ???

 

Or  is he just adding to our Swedish internal cap #'s ????

 

He's injured and cannot be demoted before healthy again.

do we need Dorsett and Burrows to play a certain amount of games to expose them to the expansion draft? cause i dont know how they survive cuts when other vets around  the league are getting waived like Laich, Parenteau.. 

 

D.Sedin - H.Sedin - Eriksson

Beartschi - Horvat - Virtanen

Rodin - Sutter - Hansen

Granlund - Gaunce - Etem

 

i think this is the roster we should go with. maybe pick up Pulkinen as a project or Peluso for toughness. (ive always been a fan of him so :P)

Even the guys at   at the Brownsville Pub and RV Park no longer support Willie as coach of the Canucks.  Those guys watch every canuck game and really  know their hockey......

Burrows contract is up after this season anyways. This will most likely be his last season with us and he will probably retire unless he can find a depth role elsewhere.

I, as many of you, are upset that Stetcher was sent down. But majority of you all are right, playing under Green with 15-20 minutes a night will do wonders for his development. This is definitely not the last time we see him this year. He'll be back up again. 

 

Im more upset over Etem. How has this guy made the team? I'd be REALLY pissed off if Gaunce gets sent down. He has worked damn hard for years, everyone knows it and everyone can see it. He deserves the spot in the lineup, and this isn't like the Stetch treatment. Stetch could use those big minutes to help him. Gaunce has proved that he is an NHL player, and to me, big minutes under Green won't help him anymore. Gaunce should be on the team, he deserves it more than anyone. I know it, you know it, even the management knows it.

 

I'd be okay with Virtanen being sent down. Big minutes under Green would be awesome for his development. Last year we all saw some solid flashes of what type of player he is. A year under Green would make him 100% better than that player.

Neither of those 2 on the 4th line would be effective. Etem is not a grinder and hasn't played well enough to earn a spot. Granlund is a skilled forward, not a checker. Rodin is hurt and, by the sounds of it, won't be playing for awhile. 

 

Granlund - Sutter - Hansen

Burrows - Gaunce - Dorsett

 

and when Rodin gets back

 

Granlund - Sutter - Rodin

Hansen - Gaunce - Dorsett

Burrows

I could see us claiming Seth Griffith too. Drafted by Benning and a former linemate of Horvat's.

 

Either way, I would be surprised if we didn't make a claim on someone.

 

Yes, when you are the 27th best NHL club , it is likely some other clubs scraps are better than our scraps... makes sense.

Both would be great. MUCH need scoring from one, and size/toughness from the other. Release Ruutu and Skille, Virtanen starts the year in Utica.

No Rodin now so maybe more like...

 

D.Sedin - H.Sedin - Eriksson

Beartschi - Horvat - Virtanen

Granlund  - Sutter - Hansen

Ruutu  - Gaunce - Etem

 

Switch the 2nd and the 3rd line.  WD said last week that he wants Horvat to concentrate on defence and not worry about scoring so put Etem on his line instead of Virtanen who will likely be in Utica. Dorsett and Burrows are probably regulars in the lineup.

After what i seen in the preseason i will be suprised if Horvat stays 2nd Center. ITs a great situation hes only 21. I also think Hansen slots above Virtanen that is if Virtanen doesnt go straight to Utica, 

 

He won't - him and Baer are the checking line this year.  WD said last week he wants him to concentrate on defence and not worry about scoring.

That 65 point prediction made will not happen this year. The conversation about bottom six players is meaningless. Rodin is the biggest concern for me. This lineup is still very thin and goals will be a concern. Having Stecher and Pedan in Utica give us defensive depth. Sending Virtanen down to learn to play a greater offensive role may be wise.

yes at least Peluso knows his role and does it well. I really dont see the need for Dorsett anymore as we have Labate, Zalewski, Rendulic and Megna for call ups.
