So, is juilevii (sp) a bigger or lessor bust then puljorvi (sp)?

One's a forward and ones a defenceman.

Who takes longer to developer? D or F?

Discuss?

Nope. Benning does better in the later rounds. Let’s trsde our 5th overall pick for 3 3rd round picks

11 spot?

Kap also thought Weise was a bonafide top 6 player too so take it for what it is...

He also seems okay with later round 1st. So why not 5OA for a later 1st. 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th.

Trade 5th overal to 10th and he will draft the same guy anyway

I am sure plenty will debate the accuracy of the line combos (particularly Sedins/Horvat) but fun read for those who care - Sedin-Eriksson listed as 29th best "first line":

lol my god

We have 15 for hockeybuzz hockey pool. Need even number to draft.
Anyone want to be the last team? Draft tomorrow night at 8pm.

If no one joins I'll have to kick out a team.

I think his 2nd rounders are better then his late first picks.
Why not 5ov for a mid 2nd and a third.

lol my god

Really shows how far from the rest of the league the Canucks are

I think its also a bit generous. I think Rantanen and McKinnon are better

TG seems to want to have 1 shut down line. Sutter going to be playing against the other teams top line. Problem with this roster though is who are you going to play with him that won't take away from their offence.

Gagner last season had one of his best seasons ever because he was played max PP time and against the other teams 4th line.

Best responsible defenders would be dorsett and sutter. Someone who isn't as bad on the D-side and could help out on offence is Burmy but as seen in wpg, in that role he is less effective then giving more Ozone opportunities.

So in terms of "match up" line up so far
Dorsett Sutter Granny -----shutdown line
Loui Bo Boeser--- could match up against a 2nd line and win a lot of nights
Daniel Henrik Vanek ----easier competition might see more points for not against
Sven Gagner JV ----- 4th line feast for scoring.

Anyone notice this post is almost like a Nuck4u type post.

Burmy as the 13th forward.

I feel bad that Granny doesn't get more of a scoring role, I think he is a player that creates scoring on his own.

This roster just has too many fill in jack of all trades players and almost not enough role players. Will find out in the coming year or two what type of players Sven and Granny, JV will actually become.

As for ice time. Probably 12 a night for the 4th line and sorted out 15 plus PP and PK time for the other lines.

Don't get me started on the defence. We should just make some trades to sort things out for a while.

TG has used Grablund at Center and in offensive roles. So don't see TG doing above.

TG actually is favoring 4 balanced lines that can score. Not traditional 4th line.

But one that should get the checking assignment bulk, that would play against top heavy teams, could work:

LE BO Sutter.

Just saw him in concert a month ago.

Granlund is beyond bad in the face-off dot.

Dorsett Sutter Archibald
Megna Sutter Archibald.

Do those look like scoring lines to you?

I'm sure we want to waste Bo's talent playing with Sutter.

I don't think anyone will.

BTW - PHI puts Matt Read on waivers... WTF, he will get claimed for sure
- Codes1087

Here's a different take.

Cap hit for guy just doesn't match what he brings now.

Granlund is beyond bad in the face-off dot.

Dorsett Sutter Archibald
Megna Sutter Archibald.

- manvanfan

Those look like Utica players not Canuck lines.

Bo's talent transcends Sutter. Wasn't that used for Granlund? Plus Bo creates more on his own and that actually works with how Sutter plays.

They would be dominate on face offs what you want against top heavy lines. Keep the puck away from them. Take the puck to their net.

Agree Granlund's weakest part is faceoffs. Perhaps his wingers can help or more time with Canuck faceoff coach guru.

A little late today, but the new blog is up with Pedan on waivers and my speculation on how the Canucks will handle their situation up front.

http://www.hockeybuzz.com...nal-roster-cuts/194/87788

Who will snag him?
- LordHumungous

Who needs a backup badly & has a contract spot?

I never said Pedan, theres 2 guys on the waiver wire better then Biega though
- phyllee

Use up a contract & sit around in the press box?
Pull a Leaf move like Corrado idk how that makes sense.
