I would like to see Bo given a chance in his contract year to really come into his own now that we have some great wingers for him to work with. regular season. Pete Miller Brock Kuzmenko Bo Garland Let them play offence get teams on their heels. Grind their top lines with Mikheyev Lazar Pod Dicki Dakota Pearson hit everything "let em know youre there" Id like to see Podkolzin gain confidence by taking on top competition night after night and making life hard on them. Thats how we develop him into a better Nichushkin. Me may have to upgrade Lazar but I think if we define his role he can be a cheep Malhotra. His defensive numbers are very good and hes good in the dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats all well and true but it's Bo's contract year he's going to want a taste he put up 31g last year maybe he pushes 40 given better deployment.

I have no issues running 3 balanced forward lines if that makes us a better team. The team needs to come before anyone thinking of padding stats in a contract year.

Kobayashi Maru Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Based on some of the details we are hearing, I think this will be out starting lineup with everyone healthy: Mikhayev Pettersson Boeser Kuzmenko Miller Podkolzin Pearson Horvat Garland Dickinson Lazar Hoglander Ekman-Larsson Hughes Dermott Myers Rathbone Schenn Massive improvement to forward depth to roll 4 lines, and a switch to overloading our top pair on D which makes sense too.

DeNiro Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Garland Miller Boeser Kuzmenko Petey Podkolzin Pearson Horvat Mikayev Hoglander Lazar Dickinson/Joshua OEL Hughes Dermott Myers Rathbone Schenn/Poolman Would be my guess based on what I’ve heard so far and what makes sense to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Pretty similar lineups to what I had imagined, I was sure they were going to go with three scoring lines using our centre depth. Made no sense to convert one of Miller or Petterson to wing since we have so many wingers already. My original guess was: Kuzmenko-Miller-Podkolzin Garland-Petterson-Boeser Pearson-Horvat-Mikheyev Dickenson-Lazar-Joshua I figured Miller has been mentoring Podkolzin, so why not keep that going and give the new Russian a linemate who has just been through the same transition. Then I really wanted to see how Horvat and Mikheyev look like as a PK duo. That 4th line is just really solid. No idea how Hoglander cracks the lineup on a nightly basis barring injury. I could see him being swapped in and out to give guys a rest or give a different look depending on the opponent and whether his skillset or Joshua's fit better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilya Mikheyev Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 The forward depth is great. It's just day 1, I am sure Hoggie will get a chance with Lazar-Joshua. There's no play-oriented reason to hand Dickie a spot over Hoglander, tho I understand the cap/waivers incentivize it. Still, the Canucks are gonna wanna carry 13 forwards. Goaltending is great. Really need that one more top-4 defenseman still, esp. if OEL and Hughes are gonna pair up. I like Rathbone's prospects, but he's not ready to be relied on for that role yet. The D depth is fine, it's just that one more decent defenseman needed. If a true top-4 can't be found, hopefully they can acquire a band-aid that's a bit better than deKeyser at this point in his career - either Ethan Bear or Calvin de Haan seem like favourable options at this point.

Dickie was in over his head as a 3C, but he was a very good checking winger for Dallas. Hog's isn't that, yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
