Primal Optimist Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 It seems like a depth no brainer to bump Dickinson to the 4th and miller on third, if we are just talking about Center depth that would be amazing...but then we are looking at holes on the wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could maybe take over where Jake left off, he's certainly more willing to engage physically than Jake ever was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Optimist Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) I also kind of have Pearson penciled in on MY 3rd line not my 2nd line, but what do i know. Pearson, Miller, Pod for a third line would be extremely good for a third, imo, but again shrug, not an industry insider so my opinion means squat. Hoglander Pettersson Boeser Garland Horvat Podkolzin Pearson, Miller, Motte Bailey, Dickinson, Highmore Petan Just something fun to think of while i am sipping coffee.....the green wingers subject to shuffle as per Green's perogative.

I think you have to keep Gadjovich over Petan. Gadjovich at least brings something useful to the lineup, and has the potential for improvement.

BCNate Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) I really like Lockwood's game so far. I think he is a solid option to fill Motte's role for the time being. I also like how Petan and Di Giuseppe have looked. Even before the season starts, the depth that JB has brought in is looking like it could pay off. I'm going with the following at this stage, with Motte and Sutter out. Hoglander-EP-BB Pearson-Bo-Podkolzin Petan-Miller-Garland Lockwood-Dickinson-Highmore Di Giuseppe, Gadjovich OEL-Poolman QH-Hamonic/Schenn or much needed upgrade Rathbone-Myers Juolevi Demko Halak (liked his game last night, looks pretty calm and collected in there) I like Chiasson out there too, meant to include him, just not sure where he fits in Edited October 4, 2021 by BCNate I like Chiasson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just thinking about stretching the 'hard to play against/offensive threat' up and down the lineup. I wouldn't object to Pearson in the top six. Anyway you slice it, this is going to be a fun season to watch! Edited October 4, 2021 by Primal Optimist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do see Lockwood as an NHLer, I see him make plays, be gritty, create checks and hits. Lockwood for me would be great as a third liner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPA Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Is Chaisson on the outs then? I don't see many posters slotting him in the opening roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) I'd like to see more from Petan before penciling him into the opening day roster. He was good last night but awful in Calgary. Probably better as a winger than center. Boesers status might determine whether he make it.

Googlie Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 1 hour ago, CanucksJay said: Aren't we all good on D with Hamonic deciding not to opt out? OEL, Hughes, Myers, Hamonic, Poolman, Juolevi Extra: Hunt, Bowey or Rathbone? Let's not forget. - he had to "opt in" if a possible trade is still in the works. I wouldn't pencil him in yet until all the Metropolitan Division teams have taken Benning's calls (they play Canadian teams the fewest times, with least number of border crossings ..... Philly, eg, plays Canadian teams 8 times in Canada, with just 4 times over the border - that'd be attractive to Hamonic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I like this when healthy; Miller - Petey - Boeser Pearson - Horvat - Garland Hoglander - Dickinson - Podkolzin Motte - Sutter - Lockwood Di Guiseppe But w/ Motte & Sutter out I'd slot Di Guiseppe & Dowling in those spots. (As opposed to Miller at C, he's better on the wing). And if Boeser is out I'd move Garland/Hoglander up a line each, and bring Petan in on the third line; Miller - Pettersson - Garland Pearson - Horvat - Hoglander Podkolzin - Dickinson - Petan Di Guiseppe - Dowling - Lockwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green hasn't used him at all that way, and I think all of our bottom 6 would have to be in that role to some degree. I'd like to see Lockwood get his defensive game up to speed, and then the kid can come up here and be a really useful player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
