Popular Post -Vintage Canuck- Posted April 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2021 Some more quotes via Chris Faber: "It wasn't really a conversation in the offseason, I came into camp and they switched me between winger and centre. They told me at camp that my versatility was going to be needed this year." - Kole Lind on the position change to centre "We didn't have a lot of centres in Utica but playing with Baertschi and Anas was huge for me moving to centre. I just kind of fed off them and they made the transition a lot easier." - Kole Lind talking about Sven Baertschi and Sam Anas' help on the position change "At first, I was winning draws so clean that they were going straight out of the o-zone so I had to reel it in and adjust it." "I'll do it at the NHL-level, whoever it's against, McDavid, Auston Matthews, left-handed all the way." - Kole Lind on taking faceoffs left-handed "I definitely wasn't surprised at his success, I've seen him at development camps before. He's a very powerful skater and has a great shot. I'm excited, he's got a lot of potential to be a really good player." - Kole Lind on Jack Rathbone's hot-start in professional hockey. "I assume that I'm going to be escorted back to the bench a lot by the linesmen." - Kole Lind on bringing his between the whistle chirps, feistiness and hard-to-play against attitude to the NHL 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s exposed guess who Seattle is taking. Lind is going to be an important middle six guy for us. Could be our 3rd line center we are gonna need as early as next year 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I was yesterday years old when I discovered Lind was being groomed for a center position. Good news. ...though I wouldn't mind bringing him back one more year on a cheap contract while Lind makes his transition to the NHL. Even IF he got moved by deadline.

If the Canucks were smart they would do like you said, play the young guys to see if any are ready for next season when we will need cheap contracts. IMO Lind, Rathbone, Juolevi should play every game left this season. I'd even like to see Jasek and possibly Gadjovich get a hand full of games. I agree and I had been saying the samething for awhile now; ever since, the pretend playoff push was ended by the Habs & Jets and now, Covid has put the nail in the playoff coffin. Time for JB to sell and Green to showcase the future (but he won't cause he doesn't like the unknown; good thing Hogz forced himself into the lineup otherwise, he too will be riding the press box bus with OJ).

komodo0921 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Yet another Canucks prospect I'm excited about. Great chance we're going to be seeing another core piece here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks Curse Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 OJ and Lind should be in the lineup... also what about dipietro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus we have OJ who already paid those dues and needs this sort of look. Rathbone would likely just sit in the taxi like he has already. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzipunch Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Can we turn Lind into a center now that Gaudette got the boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing he Canucks Lind won't get a game and they'll ride Beagle and Sutter for that "playoff push" Honestly there is a good chance Lind does get some games out of the gate. One Sutter is sick still and Beagle is injured. Also they will both get hurt playing 19 games in 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have to disagree with you about the first part. I think lind would displace him. Mac hasn't shown me anything to make me believe hes nothing more than a tweener. Lind still has potential to be a middle 6 guy imo. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brbetts542 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I don’t think we have both Sutter and beagle next year. I think it’s more likely we have neither and Miller moved to the 3C and replaced by Hoagy on line 1. depending how Lind looks down the stretch JB might allocate him a spot in the bottom 6 for next year.
