Well adjusted alcoholic?

Is that a category now?

Smartypants!!! I'm allowed to have a hardon for the occassional player too ya know!!!

Its hard work hating bipolar Canuck fans all day....

EDIT: Your argument is what we call the straw man argument but I get where youre going and one could argue that maybe Toews benefitted playing with TT over Hossa

I'm just having fun with you....

JV seeing McCann getting traded away hopefully opens his eyes and he starts playing 60 mins a game.

With WD as a coach, hes going to be lucky to play 10 minutes a game #FireWillie #WillieHatesYouth

Based on some of the conversations I've read on here, I'd have to say so, although well adjusted may be a stretch

isn't it impossible not to play 10 mins under "i'm gonna roll my lines no matter what is happening" willie.

Talk about being an emo...

What kind of improvement are you expecting out of Teravainen for him to be that much better of a player?

Both are undersized skilled players who still need to prove they can be more than tweeners.

They have both played 140 games in the NHL so far in their career, including playoffs, and 58 and 55 pts respectively.

Teravainen is 2 years younger but also has played been playing on the best team in the league.

He spent almost half his ice time last season with either Hossa and Toews (30.1%), Panarin and Kane (10.9%) or Kane and Anisimov (8.5%)

Lets see him playing with Staal and Skinner or Lindholm and Nordstrom and see how much he improves upon his 35 point season.

Your line mate analysis also shows that TT was relegated to the bottom 6 for most of the year. I suspect he will be in Carolina's top 6 more consistently and he will be given more favourable zone starts as well as increased PP time which, along with a full season of NHL experience, should help his productivity. But we will see.

well adjusted alcoholic just means that you have a job and can afford the good stuff rather than johnnie red.

Perhaps he will improve this summer. He is 19!

Let's hope all the canucks decide to play 60 minutes a night for next season

Unless the team needs a goal, then we know Dorsett, Prust and Cracknell will be getting the tap.

Pedan says no, no it isn't.

Sounds like we could replace Willie with a stopwatch that beeps for 1,2,3,4 after every shift

He likely will get more playing time, but Lindholm and Nordstrom played predominantly in the top 6 in Carolina still only managed 39 and 24 points.

I didn't take a look at who TT was playing with when he picked up points but I would be willing to bet that the majority of them came while playing with Hossa,Toews, Kane, Panarin and Anisimov.
