IBatch Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Hogs ?? EP BB Pearson Horvat Garland ??Hogs Miller Podz Motte Sutter Dickinson As far as ?? goes front runner Gadjs. Makes lives horrible for opposing D's and goalies. Tempted to slot him in on the top line - plus wouldn't label any of these lines 1-2-3 ... any of them on any given night could be 1. Three scoring lines and a shutdown line. Dickinson isn't a scorer he's a shutdown player and his face offs aren't good enough. Use him how he plays. That fourth line is awesome. D. Well one of Rathbone or OJ will get a spot. Rathbone is built like a brick $&!#house, think he could be this teams Bieksa... OJ plays a safe steady game. Nice to have depth.

Demko is going to have to go Beast mode or the forwards need to score 4-6 goals to win. But Pettersson, Horvat, Dickinson and Sutter are the best 4 centres the Canucks have had since the 2012-2013 season when they had Hank, Kesler, Higgins and Malhotra. This season can go one of two ways in my opinion 1) Canucks have a good year and get 96 points and make the playoffs 2) It's the 1997-1998 season all over again where the Canucks went 25 wins, 43 losses and 14 ties and were out of the playoffs before the halfway mark and one of Greener or JB will get thrown under the bus for the bad start.

Gollumpus Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I figure the line up will consist of the same usual suspects as most everyone else, in pretty much the same spots. I would play MacEwen over Highmore, and Juolevi over Rathbone. Both Juolevi and Rathbone will require playing time to further develop. Sitting one of them in the press box will not help the team, so, Rathbone to Abbotsford because he can pass through waivers and get regular playing time (even if it is at the AHL level). Also, the Canucks are rather full in offensive type of d-men, particularly on the left side. Juolevi gets to play at the NHL level and show that he belongs there. He is more of a defensive type of d-man, which I believe the team requires in the line up. regards, G. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is that I think we're OK on D too. We don't have any superstars (Quinn is close but he has to get stronger and better at the defensive side of things - and OEL is also close, even though he may be past his prime I think he still has lots to contribute - we'll see). What we do have suddenly is a lot of depth of NHL quality D. Jim really went all out to restock the defence. I'm hoping that the sum of the parts will be better than the star power. I'm really excited to see how it all plays out on the ice. I think we've got a really good chance at having a great season. Pessimism before the season even starts is completely unnecessary.

HIggins never played a game at centre. Malhotra played only 9 that year. It was the year Gillis pulled the plug on him because of his eye injury. Kesler played only 17 Lapierre played all 48 Sedin also played all 48 Schroeder played 31 Ebbett played 28 and don't forget Derrik Roy who came in at the deadline to play 12 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also gets on PP1 But switch up Hog and Pearson for an elite shut down line that can score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
