Gaudette Celly Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Who's coming out next? Burmistrov already, so I'd suspect Vritanen may take a seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 No surprise there with Demko and Boucher. Who sits for Eriksson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUCKER67 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Alright, the $6 Million Man returns. Make the best of it Loui. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaunce was the extra at practice today with Granlund back on the Sutter line. Eriksson was taking line rushes with the Sedins so he might also draw in over Virtanen.

apollo Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I think you gotta try Loui with the Sedins again. Probably give Nilsson the Sharks game on saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Tanev out, Edler and Eriksson back in, hello losing streak my old friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo fan Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 They have to play LE - @$6m a year - he has to do something - I hope he lights it up - put him with the Sedins for a month and see what they can muster up - just watch their ice time. What else can you do with him? Put him with Ganger and Vanek? Don't think you want to bust up the BBB line and I don't see him being much good with Dorcett and Sutter either. Someone I would like to see on the Sutter line is Jake for a game or 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanGnome Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 IMO Virtanen has shown enough to not be pulled from the lineup. IMO it has to be Gaunce. If it came down to Gaunce vs Virtanen, for me its Virtanen every single day and twice on Sundays. Gaunce doesn't have the speed, physicality nor ability with the puck that Virtanen does. Gaunce plays a safe, north/south fairly benign game which is not prone to many mistakes, but it also doesn't lend itself to particularly impacting the game either. Baertschi - Horvat - Boeser Granlund - Sutter - Dorsett Eriksson - Gagner - Vanek Sedin - Sedin - Virtanen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 LE, twins, Edler, Gagner & Vanek. There's 40% of your team's allotted cap. 6 guys. If you don't get performance from most of them, you're hooped. No way around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xereau Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 THAT'S A 20 MILLION DOLLAR 3RD LINE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Karlsson Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 If Virtanen's sitting again tomorrow I'm not going to watch. We're a rebuilding team, I don't care to watch the vets when half of them can't produce. Atleast Virtanen brings speed and physical play and has had to make up for for the twins lack of speed and weak defensive play while on their line. I just don't understand what was going through Bennings mind that he thought a 6 year 6 million dollar deal for a declining vet and 3 years for Gagner was a good idea.

Eh i hardly notice virtanen out there. He is not playing nearly as good as he did in training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the effort I'm seeing out of Jake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtanen needs more looks with other linemates as the season progresses, now is the time with Louie back in the mix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck_In_Paradise Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Gotta be Gaunce coming out one would think, but maybe we will see a surprise exclusion? Maybe even a trade? Green does love what Gaunce brings to the table, so who knows what will happen in the coming few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
