I'd just prefer if he were to at least start in Utica (with potentially better line mates) and REALLY get his offensive mojo back. But I'd prefer most of the kids start in Utica next year dominating and building chemistry. They'd get plenty of NHL games filling in for injuries and call up the better ones after moving some guys at the TDL. I doubt that will happen, but that's what I'd prefer Canucks: Baer, Horvat, Eriksson Sedin, Sedin, Granlund UFA/prospect, Sutter, Dorsett (matchup dzone line) Boucher/Rodin, UFA, Boeser/Goldobin (sheltered ozone line) Utica: Dahlen, 2017 pick?, Goldobin/Boeser Virtanen, Zhuikenov?, Valk Yup.

Oops, haven't slept for 24 hours and I definitely meant to say LW. I only watched 10 of the Comets games this year, but in that small sample size I thought he looked better on the left. Maybe there's no difference. Plus, didn't he play a little center this past season as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't say anything about Willie but you can tell he was frustrated with what happened at the beginning of the year. How do you kind of know someone? Have you had a conversation with him?

The predictability factor is strong and it would leave opponents guessing. Right now, it's too easy for other teams because they know what to expect.... It's far more important IMO to have ready kids capable of pushing them down the lineup than splitting them IMO. That 'problem' gets overblown IMO.

He has a heck of a job ahead of him. He doesn't bring the moxie of an AV, Babcock, Maclellan, etc. but I do wish him well he's got the moxxy of a guy who has 15 successful years in the NHL as a player though.

I still think any benefit to splitting them is lost in splitting them. They're better together than apart. IMO, pushed down the depth chart and a capable, complimentary RW'er are more important.

Even if you factor in his injury, you can't sell the idea that Markus is the superior player. Mikael was obviously more highly touted as was reflected in their draft positions, so nobody is arguing that Markus is or will be better. Fact is, Mikael has already played over 4 years in the NHL, and Markus the equivalent of two, with last year being his first full season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in this (unlikely) scenario I'm proposing, I'd wager Boeser likely would be the one in the NHL. Hence why I listed him first on the Canuck roster and Goldobin first on the Utica one 31 minutes ago, J.R. said: Canucks: Baer, Horvat, Eriksson Sedin, Sedin, Granlund UFA/prospect, Sutter, Dorsett (matchup dzone line) Boucher/Rodin, UFA, Boeser/Goldobin (sheltered ozone line) Utica: Dahlen, 2017 pick?, Goldobin/Boeser Virtanen, Zhuikenov?, Valk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
