*Buzzsaw* Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 How many years have we been asking this question? Anyway, to get to the point, who should be playing with the Sedins? Since Burr lost his footspeed, there has really only been one choice. Eriksson unfortunately has been a bust... the guy is a talented player, but for whatever reason he is not clicking. Baertschi last night was better, but he doesn't have the size... he plays with a lot of grit, but can't apply the hard forecheck. And he plays better with Horvat and Virtanen. It's really time to put Hansen back with the twins... yeah he has chemistry with Sutter, but so does Granlund and maybe Eriksson will if he is put on the second line. Sutter is the kind of guy who can play with anyone. Hansen is a proven performer with the Sedins, and having the twins scoring is still the most important offensive plus this team can have. Do it!

CaNuCkSLoUiE23 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Dress Tryamkin as a forward as have him stand in front of the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neko Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Don't touch the Granlund-Sutter-Hansen line, Eriksson for now is the only best option but I wonder how different it would've been if ew had grabbed Brouwer instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I think it should be Loui Eriksson. Since our second line, Granlund-Sutter-Hansen, has been the best line for us so far, that would put Eriksson down on the third line. I think he will excel if he is given top lines minutes with familiar linemates. I didn't like the idea of putting Baertschi with the Sedins last night; now is not the time to experiment. Just keep the lines the same and give the players some time to generate chemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpworsley Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Ya why mess with that line give it a chance, Eriksson and the Sedin's will likely Gel at some point. So one OT loss and that's it change all the lines blow it up the defense sucks fire Edler trade Desjardins. Did I miss anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xereau Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 And after 40 games when Eriksson has 15-20 goals, where will threads like this one be? Bust? Huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Juice Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I thought Eriksson looked fine with the Sedins in the first four games. Certainly doesn't call for a drastic change in lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yes we can nucks Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 2 pts in 5 games... it's way too early to call Eriksson a 'bust'. Put him back with the Sedins and give them time to figure it out. They're all smart players. They've had proven chemistry on Team Sweden and should do well together here. But it'll take a bit of time for Eriksson to learn the systems here. He and the twins missed most of preseason because of the World Cup. Jeez, this is the first time in the Sedins career they've had a true first liner and some of you are writing it off already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been five games and while he hasn't lit the world on fire, calling him a bust is a bit of a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 In a month(or so), would like this tried: - sign PTO Ruutu(soon), especially if Dorsett's bad - Demote Jake, for perhaps 1~3 mos of development Baer - Hank - Hansen Daniel - Sutter - Eriksson Granlund - Bo - Rodin Ruutu/Labate - Gaunce -Skille On D, shuffle in Biega/Tryamkin lots more. Larsen HAS to earn it. Regarding Burrows, I'd give him spot-duty(often 13th fwd) 'til New Yr's. Last few months of season, he can go down & help Greener with the kids, in Utica. Both sides have honoured commitments, just Father Time catchin' up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10pavelbure96 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Chemistry takes time. I don't know why Willie put Baertschi on the first. Baertschi shouldn't be up against the oppositions best defenders and checkers. He was less noticeable on the top line than he is on the 3rd with Bo. Eriksson will get going soon enough. Dank and hank are fine . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
