EternalCanuckFan Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Just now, Jester13 said: I think you're close... Miller - Petey - Boeser Hoglander - Horvat - Garland Pearson - Dickinson - Poldkozin Motte - Sutter - Highmore OEL - Myers Hughes - Hamonic OJ/Rathbone - Poolman Demko Halak I think this is a reasonably likely line-up. Like BabychStache however, I would switch Pearson and Hoglander. The D pairings are up in the air but with Hamonic returning, a Hughes-Hamonic pairing does seem likely. Personally I think Myers is a bit of the odd man out in terms of style since most of the puck carrying D for the Canucks are actually on the left, so I'm not sure how well he fits with any of the LHD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing Hogs and Podz on the same line with Dickie concerns me a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why I see Pearson with Horvat is because coaching seems to like them together. Pearson being moved to wing with Dickinson is totally possible and makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Updated, with some time to go of course, but: Miller - Pettersson - Boeser Garland - Horvat - Hoglander Pearson - Dickinson - Motte MacEwan - Sutter - Podkolzin Lockwood/Gadjovich OEL - Myers Hughes - Hamonic Rathbone - Poolman Juolevi/Schenn Demko Halak Actually a pretty decent, well-balanced lineup. However we all thought this prior to last season. JB has done his job, the players and pieces are in place that make sense. Now it's on our coaches and players to execute. If this lineup isn't in a playoff position by 1/3-1/2 of the season, JB has to shakeup the coaches and fire Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I looked at some highlights of Dick and realized he actually has more talent than I gave him credit for. I saw some stickhandling in tight that looked anything but below average offensively. Perhaps new linemates in a new system will do him good. I also wanted to recount the WCE line as an example. Morrison was clearly the weak link of that line, and his stats reflected that. Yet, in that case, he remained our top line C for years and performed adequately. When he did finally move on, he was immediately not as good of a player. Point being that it's really the sum of the players of any given line. Dick may never blow us away individually, but he has two linemates that play the game in a manner which will create opportunities. I wouldn't want to pass judgement until I see what he can do with that opportunity. Furthermore, we may find that to start, Podz might not be an immediate top 6 player. He might start out barely a 3rd line player for all we know so far. In that case, the point kinda becomes moot. In that case, perhaps we consider Hogs to the 2nd and Pearson to the 3rd as an alternative look. Edited July 28, 2021 by kloubek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually liked Joulevi and Myers pairing last year. Hughes and Hamonic started looking a lot better by end of the year. That leaves OEL- Poolman pairing. Rathbone and Schenn as extras. Also agree with swapping Hoglander and Pearson. Fourth line of Motte-Sutter-Mackewen would be reliable and eat some minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, then I think that Pearson might shine the best on the 2nd line with Bo. Oh, so many options. This is such a great problem to have hahaha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleboy Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Schenn, Poolman and Hamonic Not to costly but fits the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeeeergh Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 This is actually pretty crazy. Our top 6 is vastly improved with a 30 goal scorer. Our bottom 6 is vastly improved with a proper 3rd line center (Dickinson) Our PK is improved with Jason Dickinson, and with Poolman + OEL instead of Edler Our D is vastly improved with OEL, & Hughes no longer having to play the hardest minutes Prediction: Miller-EP-Boeser Hogs-Horvat-Garland Pearson-Dickinson-Podkolzin Motte-Sutter-Highmore OEL-Hamonic Hughes-Poolman Juolevi-Myers *Schenn Demko Halak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patel Bure Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 My guess is that the Canucks are going to go HARD after Colton Parayko in the 2022 off season since he’s almost exactly what we need. Josh Manson and Connor Murphy would be our Plan B’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow 1983 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) I don't see OEL and Myers as a pair they bring offense and JB just brought in a lot of defensive defense men. On the 2nd unit powerplay yes 5 on 5 more like this Hughes Hamonic OEL Poolman Rathbone Myers OJ Scheen With Hamonic, Poolman and Scheen competing for the spot on Hughes right side second best goes on the pairing with OEL. Forwards Miller EP Boeser Hogs Horvat Garland Pearson Dickenson Pods (just can't see Hogs and Pods on the same line Pearson brings the defensive game to the third line and Hogs played well with Horvat last season) Motte Sutter ( and the one that wins out hardest working player in the pre-season) Edited July 28, 2021 by Arrow 1983 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTC123 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Petan - Pettersson - Boeser Garland - Horvat - Miller Pearson - Dickinson - Hogs Motte - Sutter - Podkolzin Petan will score like 57 goals 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
