Ruxin'sVinegarStrokes Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 My lineup right now: Baer Horvat Boeser Sedin Sedin Granlund Eriksson Burmistrov Vanek Gagner Sutter Virtanen Rodin Waive Boucher Hutton Tanev Edler Stecher MDZ Guddy Wiercioch Biega PP1 Sedin Sedin Gagner Boeser/Vanek MDZ PP2 Eriksson Horvat Granlund Vanek/Boeser Stecher (I have always thought we should rest dmen during PP time and only play one) PK1 Sutter Granlund Horvat Tanev Hutton PK2 Burmistrov Eriksson Virtanen Guddy MDZ I think Virtanen needs to play more minutes and can start on PK2. As injuries occur he moves up the lineup when ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Hockey Place Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 If Boeser (cap hit $1.492) and Virtanen (cap hit $1.744) make the team and hit bonuses, cap space is going to be real tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks have $2mil in capspace with 24 contracts. Subtract Boucher and that makes $2.7mil, so they'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I have always liked Upshall as a player, it seems that his legs aren't what they used to be and that Virtanen has been the better player and has earned his spot on this team. The only other thing I could see is if Benning wants to sign Upshall and let Virt be the first call up but that would be sending the wrong message imo and Gaunce will be back in November so there needs to be a spot for him so to me the PTO's haven't made enough of an impression. I really liked Granlund on the Sedin line when he was with them last year, he seemed to be the spark plug to do the digging so to me that is exactly who needs to be on that line.

One thing I've noticed is people asking if Bo Horvat is the top line centre. I think when other teams top shutdown line plays yours, that makes your line the top line. I dont think the Sedins will be targeted as much this year and they will go after Bo's line more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2009cupchamps Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 At this exact moment I would say the line up should be. Sedin Sedin Sutter Gagner Horvat Boeser Beartchi Grandlund Vanek Erikson Bruminstrov Virtanen Dorsett in a little time Sedin Sedin Virtanen Gagner Horvat Boeser Beartchi Granlund Vanek Erickson Sutter Dorset Bruminstrov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiveEmTheCan Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Virtanen - Bo - Boeser Sedin - Sedin - Eriksson Baertschi - Gagner - Vanek Burmistrov - Sutter - Granlund I'd like to see them spread the size and skill across all four lines. Virt Bo Brock seem like a dominant line waiting to happen. Virt and Bo bring size and speed and can cause havoc and create space for Brock and his shot. Burmistrov - Sutter - Granlund could be a gritty shutdown line that chips in 55-60 goals this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green has been using Sutter as a shutdown line. It doesn't really matter on what line he is listed. He will play a lot and not against 4th liners but instead will take the d-zone draws vs the top scoring lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aGENT Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I'm still going with: Sedin, Sedin, Granlund Eriksson, Horvat, Boeser/Rodin Baer, Gagner, Vanek Burmistrov, Sutter, Dorsett/Virtanen If Boeser make it, Rodin's likely 13th F to start. Edler, Stecher Hutton, Tanev MDZ, Gudbransoon Wiercioch, Biega Markstrom, Nilsson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that lines will even be set once the season starts lol But I think I could see something where Dorsett and Rodin rotate games unless Greener wants to sit one of the other 11 for a reason I think JV Goldy Dahlley will start in Utica But i'm going with a top 6 where BB and Granny can swap at any time As well as a bottom six that can also be interchangeable Baertschi - Bo - Granlund --------- 2A Sedin - Sedin - Boeser ------------- 2B Erikson - Sutter-Vanek ------------- 3A Burmistrov -Gagner - Rodin ------ 3B Dorsett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutter needs at least one playmaker with him, so unless Rodin is his winger, Gagner and Vanek may be better-suited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballisticsports. Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Why is everyone keeping the Sedins together? Maybe a new coach will do something different? I have heard it said, that they appear to ignore, a more open team mate that is open to score, and look for the other to join in scoring Why can't a new coach recognise it and split them up? Now you would have Sedins on different lines competing harder to keep up with the other scoring (maybe) Maybe it refreshes them with new line mates in playing a new game and be less predictable and add speed on their line maybe Reunite them on the power play to keep them happy and re-invigorate them being together again The Canucks are going through changes, I don't see why the Sedins can't either? I would like to see what would happen for 5 games (at least) and let others play with them seperately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
