It would be in managements best interest to keep Brock on the team in a position to score goals. Shiny new player to pacify the fans through the year
- NorthNuck

Maybe but pacifying the fans is not a smart hockey move. If it is then FA should fire everyone & be Pres GM & coach then let his interest devalue & sell the team for peanuts. If the fans need that they r not fans only affluent lemmings needing to be mollified & ignoring reality.

Hockey ppl were hired to run a hockey team so let them run the team.

Tom Petty was reported dead then not dead. Which makes sense because you can stand him up at the gates of hell but he won’t back down.

i agree, but also correct development needs to be #1 priority for bb

i think, much like bo, he's the type of guy who can learn in the big show

Why we wait on if DA is in or Biega out as extras there is the jigsaw of starting forwards. TG said he likes pairs so who showed/has chemistry.

Obvious Sedins even if merit for splitting them 5x5... #3rd: BB/Vanek/Gagner

Burmistrov & JV:.....3rd:..Gagner/LE

Bo & Sven:........3rd:..BB/Vanek/LE

Granlund & Sven:....3rd:...Vanek/BB/LE

BO & LE:.......3rd:...Sutter/BB/Vanek

TG will mix and match but he wants some pairs to base around. You can rotate different 3rds here as TG is sure to do.

You're pretty hyped about a team that struggles to beat the Canucks

I've always been a fan of pairs & the 3rd wheel brings it altogether. Its old school & it still applies to this day. Late in games down a goal or 2 coaches shorten up the bench for goals.

I hear in this thread the Canucks always seem to play good against good teams ...maybe there's something to that theory after all 😉

Yeah even with pairs there are still lots of options which ones to do.

Bo fits with many but narrowed down to two. Kept Granlund and Burmistrov as centers to pair. Rotated Sutter and Gagner on wing. But could do same in reverse. Really its a mish mash this season on options with starting 12 forwards.

But the odd man out right now I see as DD. He's just a 3rd and if a starter with Sutter any 3rd there is left impotent unless its DA. If you go that way then one of JV & BB need to go down instead of sit.

The options are just as convoluted when looking at the D pairs of starting six

Point I was making is that Brock will be fine in the big league, so make sure you keep him there. Keeping the fans happy=letting JB & other hockey professionals do their jobs with less hassle.

I wont go into D in this post its just as convoluted between starting six.

After pairing the Sedins & Sven with Bo it doesn't leave many pairings left.

My point on that is other then Sedin solid pair, where even there has merit to split them up, the Canuck pairing options are multiple in possibilities.

Like Bo for example could be Sven or could be LE and rotate the other players as 3rds like BB/Vanek/Sutter with them.

Other than Iggy bounces around hanging onto chasing a cup, doesn't know when its time to hang em up. Doan retired for his reasons Yotes or nothing. Jagr is an anomaly in the right situation.

Hard to find a cap dump at this time of year let alone Brouwer is prolly untradeable.
