moron - you missed the point. You are generalizing with this statement.

perhaps say shut up aloud and pretend it was my voice you heard
- gzatron

Whatever helps you sleep man........glad being an internet tough guy helps you get through the day.....

I like the line up, see how it does.

Sedin Sedin Burrows
Higgins Kesler Kasian
Raymond Schroeder Hansen
Weise Lappy Volpatti

Would also ease Kesler into the games and look at Kassian with the twins, Burrows with Kes, and didn't mind the idea of Kes with Raymond either. Who knows what will happen when Booth comes back.

Mostly Chicago fans since he pummeled Stalberg.

ahh i see.

that just means he's a bully as well as being a tough mofo

If I was trying to be tough I would say things like

When I was born the Dr tried to smack so I smacked him back.

I said nothing like that. Who is acting tough?

You pathetic little shrimpy wimp!!!

No, I do NOT take any of this seriously sorry about that

Confirmed: gzatron has a small penis

Odd how? The guy nearly loses eyesight in one eye and likely ends his livelihood.....I don't care the risks or how much he is paid, its a sad tragedy......don't trivialize the situation because he plays a pro sport......

Ha Ha, I thought your Poor Manny was facetious, we're on the same page

If I was MG in the offseason I would have promised Justin Schultz anything he wanted to sign on the dotted line. Once the paperwork was filed with the league I would not care anymore, you own him. I would have given him a shot at top 4 and first unit PP and see how he did, then make a decision on his minutes. Not sure how AV would handle him though.
- immature_male

I think that sets a bad precedent. You existing core doesn't want to hear about how desperate you are to improve them. (Especially for a near-complete team like the Canucks)

It should be noted that Schultz was aware of what his opportunities would be like in Edmonton, but no PROMISES were made about his playing time even here. As it turns out, he leads up in ice time, but that has a bit to do with Whitney being so banged up. If Whitney was even in the form he was year (let alone the two years previous) He'd be playing 21+ minutes a game and Schultz wouldn't be playing so much.

I don't think Ian believes in advanced stats like Yost does. Some people write them off just looking at Corsi, but Corsi alone is a horrible way to judge a player, all of the advanced stats guys will tell you that.

Behindthenet.ca is an awesome site.
- Nucker101

Agreed, but so is +/-

But Corsi is more indicative of the two, as it eliminates the factor of freak/bounce goals and also a player stepping on the ice right when a goal is scored while having nothing to do with the actual play.

how many times have you basically said the same things - numerous.

I'd rather see him on RW opposite Raymond with Schroeder in the middle. That speedy north/south firepower following the Sedin line would create massive match-up problems... Raymond is playing the best hockey of his career beside Schroeder... Add Kesler and I think you have a dynamic (while defensively responsible) 2nd line. No need to have him thinking defense first. Let the OTHER team worry about match-ups for once.
- DrChristianTroy

While I wouldn't be against a switch to wing I think we all know it would take something major to have them move #17 from the C position. If the Kesler that doesn't pass is playing then Kassian seems like a good winger to play along side him as he seems to be a good passer from what we've seen so far. Plus they are both physical forwards along with Higgins who needs to get going. Besides that speed line with 21-45-36 seems to be a pretty good one so far.

I wouldn't say he has a horrible contract, during the last 2 seasons his full season pace was a 30+ goal scorer and he's only 21 years old. That's worth at least 5 million per, most 30+ goal scorers are guaranteed to get 6 mil + on the open market, and he could still get better since he's so young. We'll see how much RNH, Yakupov and Schultz demand, but it's possible that they can structure their team like Chicago has. Plus the cap will go up every year after next season.

thank you for interjecting some much needed logic into this line of discussion.
logic doesnt seem to have any place on HB sometimes
