The matchup I’m hoping to see one day is Gaudreau vs Manukyan. Wasn’t there a similar fight in the Q a couple years ago? With that tiny Russian guy the Oilers tried to sign but couldn’t and another little fellow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two little guys threw maybe one haymaker each and fell down and the refs quickly pounced on them.

He’s still a kid himself, these additions will let him play bigger and I expect to see a much more physical jake this year. anyways let’s get back to this hughes guy eh boys I agree I would like to see this line play together: Roussel Gaudette Virtanen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanfor42 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) I expect that the discussion about signing hughes this year centers around deployment. Putting him in a position to succeed. 1st line pplay for 5 to 6 mins a night. 10 or 11 mins at 5 on 5. Heavy weighting on offensive zone starts. Approx 16 minutes a night TOI. Focus on the kids obvious strengths. Shelter him from the situations that are more difficult for him. And let him grow. Prediction he is signed and used as above. Second prediction he gets 30+ points. Edited July 7, 2018 by fanfor42 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They signed him for 2.8 mil a year. I love what he brings but he is not worth that much. People who are hard on Benning need to realize that this is the cost of signing free agents. And also why it is so important to keep developing our own talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory40 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 For everyone worried that we will have more money tied up on our third line than second. Who cares, it's a training year. And for all the gloating that Toronto is way ahead of Vancouver on the rebuild. That remains to be seen. If the Canucks make it back to the playoffs in three years, Then that's a success that surely took longer for Toronto,I could even see Vancouver still be a top tier team if a couple sure fires turn out. Hughes could be the player that wins series for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we already have a log jam up front. Personally, I would not mind getting Maroon to play with Horvat / Boeser or on a 2nd line with Petterson and someone. We would be a tougher team for sure!! We would definitely have to get rid of some bodies (although we already have to). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New to the site as a poster but have followed for a few years. My thoughts are this could be a 3rd line with a 4th line of Leipsic / Beagle / Goldobin as neither winger would likely clear waivers. I would also start Gaudette in Utica and call him back up once a few veterans eg. Gagne and Granlund are traded for draft picks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is hard to actually say what line with be what except the 1st and 4th this year. 1st: someone / Horvat / Boeser: that someone could be Petterson or Baertschi 4th: Schaller / Beagle / someone Dallas fans that like Roussel think he is a good 3rd liner. So Roussel Gaudette Virtanen would kinda be the 3rd line. Then you have Ericksson Sutter someone. You could put Petterson with either Horvat and Boeser or you could put him with Ericksson Sutter. both would have their benefits. Goldy either forces his way onto the 1st or 2nd line or he won't be here imo. Just my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure961089 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Baerchi - Horvat - Boeser Dahlen - Sutter - Pettersson Liepsic - Gaudette - Virtanen Schaller - Beagle - Roussel Goldobin Hopefully Granlund, Eriksson and Gagner are out by training camp.
