They would be top line and first PP. They needed to leave in order for this group to take the next steps. Hank was on the radio, it sounds like they aren’t looking back. I honestly wouldn’t want to throw off the team chemistry being made. Green has a new team and its forming an identity. The twins can play with these guys in a pick up game for charity. That would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the A's for the next two seasons when Pettersson is 21 and we will see who the heart of the team will be. They play different roles. Currently Bo is the most key guy on the team, especially since Beagle and Sutter are out. Woo takes a defensive zone draw otherwise? Bo is the workhorse, he will get in and do the heavy work. EP40 is not the same type of player, think Kane vs Toews. We need both equally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Damnit still on 48 hour blackout. I recommend not reading the GDT as you watch the game lol - it tends to give the impression that Pouliot is a useless sieve who commits prolific turnovers (CDC always needs a whipping boy, and whether it's Sutter, Gudbranson, Edler, Sbisa, or now Pouliot - it's often way off base). It's true he makes a mistake or two - but last game he undressed a number of guys defensively - some really crafty plays - and he made some really good first passes - one that I wish had been noticed and put in the highlight reel as he threw a bank pass from the left corner of his own zone, cross ice, off the boards in the neutral zone and onto the stick - and a short, rebound, retrieval and shot later it was in the back of the net. I think Pouliot has subtly been driving play more than a lot of people seem to realize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Gaunce looks to be the extra vs Detroit. Leipsic is filling in for Boeser who was on the ice early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is and definitely will be a much more complete player than Kane and his drive reminds me of Peter Forsberg while Kane is an elite finesse player and scorer and nothing wrong with that of course but he's not the complete package. Having said that, as someone pointed out I think EP might be better served with an A and that Bo's personality might make him more suitable for the C, especially with the media where he always keeps a straight face no matter what. It's not a big deal though, great teams need many leaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure961089 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 SHL Playoffs 13 Games 10 Goals 19 Points. Canucks 9 Games 9 Goals 15 Points. When Pettersson was drafted he hadn’t discovered his elite slap shot. Pettersson reached franchise level when he discovered that. He reached Generaltional level during the SHL playoffs and he hasn’t looked back. If he stays healthy he will distinguish himself as the best all round talent in the game. He might not score points like McDavid, he doesn’t have McDavid’s speed but Pettersson has a level of vision and creativity McDavid doesn’t possess. The combination of his offensive and defensive game is unique in the league. He won every trophy last year in the SHL, and if there had been a trophy like the Selke in the SHL he would have won that too. He will separate himself as arguable the best (all round) talent in the NHL by Christmas. Bold prediction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhhmmmm averaging a goal per game so far may have bumped up his rating to a 5. It wasn't all that off base at the time. His shot was no where near as strong in his draft year as it is today. It's always been deadly accurate, but during his year in the SHL he added a lot of weight to his shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good things are happening on the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beiga's effectiveness streak may have been nearing an end anyway. I think Biega's impact is probably highly under-rated. Imo he was simply outstanding. He had a 60.3% corsi (56.5% ozone starts). He had 2 points in 5 games. 13 hits. And he played with MDZ a fair amount - who struggled quite a bit, at least until the past game or two. Pretty solid results with Biega in the lineup - and at the same time, a great performance overall by Gudbranson, Stecher, Pouliot and Hutton imo.
