If you want your team to have more of a scoring threat, acquiring Nash isn't going to help. Besides, I like what Lamikko does. He's younger and he has untapped offensive capabilities. That pass to Motte last game was excellent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clear that TBL uses their top 3 lines a lot, so not being able to produce offensively on the 4th line is not that surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a cheap price he fills a role we need and most importantly is a good penalty killer. “Nothing happens when he’s on the ice for either team” - most damning and complimentary description I’ve ever heard for a hockey player 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not pretend he's some offensive dynamo being buried in the deepest teams in the league. Every line on TB can score - he was never a player that could score. What I'm saying is that even in the most ideal circumstances, this guy is not a scorer. So how does he help the Canucks that are trying to have more balance in their lineup? Lamikko does a good job and he's fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RakuRaku Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 On second thought.... why bother?? He's just like another Jayson Megna... doesn't really hurt the team but offers next to nothing... I got excited over his size, position and right-handedness to..... lol.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but prior to this year he's been alot more productive than most of our 4th liners. A change of scenery may work for him and playing under Boudreau may help. A 4th line right hand C is exactly what we are missing up front. I'd take a flier on Nash and send Dowling to the AHL... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's alot more points than any other of our 4th liners. He can play right wing and take the draws for Lammikko when we need a right hand shot for draws.

Faceoffs, size, PK ability. Closer to Beagle, who was fine apart from his cap hit. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the be all end all though. He's a -1 so he really plays low event hockey. Edited January 5, 2022 by Gawdzukes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw too... one hit wonder.. and then back down to a typical 4th liner.... but again, if he can offer us some grit and faceoff wins and PK ability... just claim him and bench Chiasson! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 We don't have a right side centerman for draws. Do it. Dickinson is a lefty, but another depth center would keep Dickinson on the wing where he's looked real good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like lamikko but the increased shut down capabilities of Nash can't hurt. Sutter isn't coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
