I would roll the dice on Reinhart. We do know JB likes him.
- VanHockeyGuy

I think that ship has sailed. Even though you don't like Sutter I think he would be good for the job of easing in Pettersson. Keep in mind it is a temporary fit and when EP gets big and strong enough to win the face offs and play all ends of the ice you can then trade Sutter his job is done.

Dahlen Sutter and EP is what I would like to see and I think Sutter is the only Canuck at this moment that can pull it off.

For what ? They won't give him away especially now that ROR is gone
- VANTEL

They're gonna have to roll with what they've got for now. It's too bad Benning and company couldn't get a better center than Sutter over the past four years but we are where we are.

Hopefully Pettersson adjusts quickly and he can play center.

Thank you, Quinn

This team will be faster this year , lets see how it plays out . Like everyone says we are not winning anyways

Faster?

Over 82 games I predict they'll finish with less points than last year.

Ya, and didn't Hitchcock say we were a fast team at the beginning of the year and beagle saying we thumped the caps with speed especially the d . Injuries again derailed this team, marky softies didn't help. The depth this year is better imo but losing bo for 2 months that cant happen again.

Faster?

Daniel Henrik Dowd out Pettersson Shaller Roussel Goldobin Leipsic in

Virtanen more ice time

True.
Less goals for.
More goals against.

Wonder who takes the biggest step down there, I am betting dahlin.

Goldobin & Leipsic are still fringe players with a lot to show still. So no.
Shcaller & Rousell were not brought in to add offense. So no.
Pettersson should not be penned into an NHL line up yet. Very probable but still a no until we see.

Do you think anyone here is predicting a SCF this year?

This will be a first and second year for at least 5 -7 players . They will be close to last years numbers . I think they will win 5 more games . You think they will lose more. No big deal

Thanks Carol

I don't know about you guys, but I don't have Vantel's faith that he'll be able to trade one of the 8 defensemen if OJ makes the team.

The original comment was they will be faster . Every one of those players are faster than Dowd Henrik and Daniel . That is all I said nothing more.

Fair enough. I thought it was a response to 'who is going to add more offense'. My bad.

- VANTEL

Obviously if Sutter isn't on that line, then that line won't be put together like that.

Hutton is on the last year of a contract, and will be seeing a raise if qualified or the Canucks will let him walk. I have no problem with JB trying to send him down if OJ makes the club.

Not sure who wants Hutton unless he has a remarkable bounce back season.

I think Bo Brock Baertchi Sutter are your primary point producers . I think EP will get a decent amount for his rookie year .

I am not expecting much from D points wise . I am looking at this as a transition year but I still think the team is a bit better than last

Faster?

If they want to send a pick our way, I'd take anything for him.

I don't see a team qualifying Hutton. can't see how he can turn everything around. hope he does, but he is like dead man walking.
