Pearson is a much more valuable player than you give him credit for, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goal:thecup Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 #70 is a problem? Steals the puck, moves it down the ice with skating and passing, goes to the net, and buries Petey's immaculate setup pass. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/video/pearsons-sharp-shot-adds-on/c-11256830 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Myers will get moved to providing the return from Miller or Garland can replace his minutes. Love to get both Marino and Kapanen. Faster, and younger. Same - Kap is underrated IMO. His big frame, speed and ability to fight off defensemen would be helpful for a team that utilized both Hoggie and Garland (and Petey to some extent) in the top-6 at the same time last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm saying is now that he's going into his 30 year old season his days are numbered. The nhl doesn't need a 30 year old who peaked at a 2nd line winger and it has proven it by having virtually 0 of them. Sit back and watch this season play out. You'll see what i mean.

Which one of those players you named peaked at under 50 points and only played on the second line let alone second pp unit? Do they have to have a mole on their right leg and only played 13 times on Sunday's while only eating red M&M's too? You kill me man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juho Lammikko and Matthew Highmore. If we were to re-sign both of them which is likely, then our team is complete with 23 players and we are at around $82 million on the cap including Ferland's LTIR, our buyouts and bonus money. Here is the current construction of our team: Kuzmenko Pettersson Boeser Pearson Miller Podkolzin Hoglander Horvat Garland Dickinson Lammikko Highmore Dowling Hughes Schenn OEL Myers Dermott Poolman Rathbone Burroughs Demko Martin So how do people view the current construction of our team? What needs to be done to make us better? We've obviously talked about alot of ways to change the makeup of the team. Let's use this thread to look at the actual lineup and make changes that can show actual lines put together as well as defence partners. I see the current makeup of the team as good enough to make the playoffs but will have trouble beating the upper echelon teams. Should Miller be kept to keep our centre depth elite? How does that affect the wings? Do we need more size and speed on the wings? More truculence? How do you feel about Schenn having to play with Hughes on the top pairing? Will Poolman even be able to play? We need to move Miller out, for a Marino +, Schneider+ etc and replace with a "proper" 3C (my preference would be acquiring Roy from Vegas). Also need to move Myers out, ideally for futures and again, ideally sign Lyubushkin or similar. From there, add some solid depth/grit guys, more RH'd C's etc. Acciari, Bjugstad, Lazar... I'd we can swap a Dickenson for a Kapanen etc, sounds like they want to move out Pearson (though I'm not opposed to keeping him... Good middle 6 guy IMO) that would be great too. Podkolzin, Pettersson, Boeser Kuzmenko, Horvat, Garland Kapanen, Roy, Hoglander Lammiko, Acciari, Highmore Hughes, Marino OEL, Lyubushkin Rathbone/Dermott, Schenn (or however the pairings sort out) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need SOMEBODY to handle the tough defensive minutes (if you're going to be moving Bo away from that role to try & handle a more offensive role). Haven't had anybody very solid in that since Sutter's body gave out due to accumulated injuries & COVID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
