steviewonder20 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) I’d be surprised if JB actually buries his new contracts in the minors if they are outplayed. Edited August 28, 2018 by steviewonder20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why Gagner is still here. As much as we bash Eriksson, if it wasn't for his contract, we would be ok because he at least makes the team better. Just not his contract worth.

Eriksson needs someone to gel with. I would think this line will get some looks in pre season. If JV and EP40 can gain some chemistry...

Glug Datt Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 4 hours ago, The Lock said: To be honest, I think the opening roster is going to be really hard to figure out. There are so many possibilities. Combine that with Benning clearly stating he's willing to bury contracts in the minors. Outside of maybe the first line and a couple of spots here and there, it's essentially throwing meat into a pack of hyenas. lol I'm picturing Green in the room before game 1.. pulling names out of a hat and calling them out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roussel is a winger.. 1. Leipsic - Bo - Boser ( Goldobin ) will get a good look in top 6 for first 20 games. 2.Pettersson - Sutter - Jake 3. Beartchi - Grandlund - Erickson 4.Schaller - Beagle - Roussel Goldobin, Gagner extra players.. I really thing Gaudette and Dahlen are going to have great training camp and make it hard for management to send them down..

Green is likely to keep Baer Bo and Brock together. Line already has chemistry. Sutter with JV and EP40... WCE version 2.0 is definitely worth a look. It would also allow JV some left wing time and give EP40 time to work his way into center as he and Sutter can both play right wing. Rousell Gagner and Eriksson. Blended line of vets with two way wingers. Gaunce/Granlund Beagle Schaler Extras Goldy and Lepsic and Gaunce. Someone will be hurt. Another combo could be Eriksson Gagner Goldy as a trial second line. In theory it could work. JV Sutter EP40 as a third line. Rousell Beagle Schaller as the 4th.

70seven Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 My projected lineup... prediction, not want. Baertschi Horvat Boeser Eriksson Sutter Pettersson Roussel Beagle Virtanen Leipsic Gagner Schaller Goldobin edler stecher Pouliot tanev MDZ Gudbranson Biega Hutton waived: Gaunce (mostly cause I think he’s least likely to be picked up between him Leipsic, and Hutton) Goldy gets traded or stays on the roster. I foresee this group for the first month of horrific scheduling.... then we see some inevitable injuries and call ups. nice thing about this year is we WILL see Dahlen, Gaudette, Lind, Demko, Juolevi et all at some point guaranteed. Regardless of whom makes the opening night team, it’ll be an interesting season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory40 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 We 'll is almost time. We have hashed the players and bragged and blogged, and soon all will be told in a 82 game sheldule. I am stoked to see 609 pages of a prospect yet to play a NHL game. If I am right we make the play-offs and Elias wins the Calder, if I am wrong we are a lotto shoot for Hughes lil Brother. Juolevi only being 6 or 7 months older than Elias makes him a stud defensive prospect that we get this year at the beginning or sometime after the injury bug goes off. I have had some awesome banter back and forth and really enjoy all your view points as well as opinions. Kind of reminds me of journalism were if their dead wrong they bury it, and if they are wright they rub it in, Look forward to young stars next week, My sweet wife bought me a weekend pass WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHOOOOOOOOOO. Gives Elias a little time to start at center before camp. Game On!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroCanuck Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 In my mind Goldy needs a shot in the top 6 to start the year This is what I think the lineup will be Baer-Bo-Boeser Goldy-Sutter-Virtanen Eriksson-Beagle-Pettersson Roussel-Gagner-Schaller Leipsic What Id like the lineup to look like Goldy-Bo-Boeser Leipsic-Pettersson-Virtanen Baertschi-Beagle-Granlund Roussel-Sutter-Eriksson Schaller Gagner traded. Gaunce waived. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenhodgejr Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) Prediction line up Petterson proves off the bat that he can start at centre Goldobin comes to camp improved and ready to make a big impact Virtanen also improves a lot and develops chemistry with Roussel Juolevi and Gaudette start in Utica playing big minutes Demko gets brought up at the trade deadline when Nilsson gets traded Sutter, Hutton, and Del Zotto also get traded at deadline lines start of season Goldobin Horvat Boeser Baertchi Pettersson Eriksson Roussel Sutter Virtanen Leipsic Beagle Schaller Granlund Edler Stetcher Del Zotto Tanev Hutton Gudbranson Pouliot Markstrom Nilsson Lines end of season Goldobin Pettersson Boeser Baertchi Horvat Virtanen Roussel Gaudette Eriksson Leipsic Beagle Schaller Granlund Edler Stetcher Juolevi Tanev Hughes Gudbranson Pouliot Markstrom Demko For the 2019/2020 season you will see Dahlen, Jassek, Palmu, and Lind all make the team forcing Benning to move out Eriksson, Baertchi, Schaller, and Leipsic, off the roster.

Jake's speed and physicality might just make the opposing team focus less on hitting Pettersson and more focused on keeping an eye with Virtanen is lol. I've longed to see 18 & 41 just as I have with Dahlen and Horvat. I think those 2 could have some real chemistry based on how they play. I am just happy hockey is weeks away not months anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nik and Jake looked good together last year, as did Jake and Adam. Goldy gives them a complementary addition of playmaking ability to go with their speed, grit, and shooting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mll Posted August 28, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2018 From the 31 in 31 on the NHL website - top prospects for the Vancouver Canucks: Canucks general manager Jim Benning said the possibility of Pettersson being ready to play center slowed Vancouver's pursuit of a second-line center in free agency this offseason. "We drafted him as a center and he has the skill to do it, maybe right off the hop," Benning said. "We want to look at him in the middle at training camp and see where he is at." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the first line is set with Baer, Bo, and Boeser. The match-up centres will be Sutter and Beagle. Any D zone draws they don’t take, Bo will. Pettersson could play in an offensive centre role for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baer-Horvat-Boeser were broken up in November once Goldobin got recalled and Green never really re-united them. I think Baer is more likely to play with Pettersson and that it's Goldobin or Leipsic with Horvat-Boeser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
