Dickinsons game has no flash to attract eyes so if he’s playing well you won’t notice him Yup. When Dickinson is playing well (much like Poolman) it allows their linemates to shine. Excellent, and much needed, complimentary players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 It should be noted that if Miller does end up playing C then Dickinson can play any wing and can Sutter 4th C. That way we have at least 3/4 centres that are 50% or higher on the dot. I imagine a Pearson-Horvat-Dickinson line would probably be one of the better shut down lines in the league. Or you could move Pearson with Petey and Hog with Horvat if you want more balance on both lines. Miller as C gives us a lot of options and makes our top 9 better.

Batch never made any direct comments about Dickinson's play but there were 3 or 4 times I heard him say things like "Player X coming down the wing... and Dickinson with the steal on the backcheck and the play heads to other way." I was excited every time I heard that as I think that is pretty much a perfect example of what he is going to bring to this team and something that is much needed.

I expect Sutter to be in the lineup as he’s our only righty C and is good at the dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if other players are better which I suspect they will be? It could be dicey but I would he's 80% likely to clear if sent down early. We need some sandpaper. I'm hoping he & ZM somehow make the cut. edit: Gadjovich discussed(for curiosity's sake) Edited September 25, 2021 by Nuxfanabroad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no idea when Motte will be ready and Pearson never killed penalties before coming here, for good reason. Di Guiseppe is a good penalty killer and has been good in camp and although he doesn't PK, Petan does play center and can play in the top 6 when there's injuries. I think these guys have more value and a better shot to make the team than a bottom six winger that doesn't play on special teams. I think there's 1 winger spot for lockwood, Gadj, Podz, and whoever else to fight over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 42 minutes ago, FlyLow_ said: You have to have at minimum 4 good penalty killers at forward. This line-up means Bo, Miller, and Pearson have to kill penalties. Nevermind that none of them are even good at it, we don't want Bo and Miller used up on the PK. Unfortunately most of the guys battling for spots need to be good on the PK. Guys like Gadjovich, Lockwood, Big Mac and even Podz have a tough road to making the team since they are bottom six wingers that won't be on the penalty kill. AKA, the least important player on the team. Actually Lockwood is a penalty killer! He scored a nice shorthanded goal in the AHL last season!

Pods is a beast of an awesome player, and will be in our top nine. PLus, Pods will PK. If Motte and Sutter aren’t ready to go, we still have Dickinson, Pearson, Miller, Bo, Lockwood, and Pods to PK. Garland is a very smart and hard nosed player too, so can also PK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson averaged about 1 min per game on the PK his last 3 full seasons in LA - about the same usage as now in Vancouver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
