So you think Gillis will have to sign a UFA center to fill the 3rd/4th line center role? Because that spot is left wide open for a prospect C to fill
- annoyance_101

Nope he already did sign a UFA center Richardson.

Richardson

So Richardson is able to play both 3rd and 4th line center in 1 game? unlikely

Lot's of rumours from the media that Richardson will audition for third line center. IMO we won't have secondary scoring this year.

I hope he plays him with Edler.
- dshiddy

I agree.


Hamhuis - Bieksa
Edler - Corrado
Garrison - Tanev

Could also swap Corrado/Tanev depending on chemistry.

I honestly think Horvat is already better than Gaunce.

Did you see the comments Sutter made about him? (Gaunce)

Yep, so thats my point, who takes 4th line center? or 3rd depending where Richardson is put

Kellan Lain can eat up six to eight minutes a game perhaps?

Realistically only Jensen and Corrado have a chance at the big club this year. But I'm liking what I see.

So, Lain, doesnt have a chance then? I was only responding to this

He's not attending the prospects tourney, to the best of my knowledge?

So someone not even playing is going to play for the 4th line center? Don't mind me, just seems like a far fetched situation that Canucks play with 3 C this year

Ok I'll humour you, I was speaking about kids at the prospects tournament making the big club. Kellan Lain is 24 years old, he's not attending the prospects tourney, but he most certainly will be invited to main camp. Following? So he very well could steal that 4th line centre role. Any better?

Much, even though it makes no sense to just use a guy to eat up minutes and do very little else...

Fosco said he was not very good last year. He didn't see him as AHL ready

Did you see the comments Sutter made about him? (Gaunce)
- LeftCoaster

Nope, but I've seen plenty of comments from people who watch the OHL regularly and the majority says Horvat is the better player right now, despite being younger. And so far during this rookie tournament he's been the best Canuck prospect as well apparently.

- VANTEL

Yeah, most of the guy who watched the Wolves last year said that he needs another year or two in the AHL.

That's been the motto of the Canucks 4th line for years. Ask LA, Chicago and Boston's coaches/management if they think that 4th liners should just dump the puck and hope the other team doesn't score for 5-6 minutes a game during the playoffs.

How was your sleep-over at Iggysbf? Any 'swimsuit area' action?

Well played sir
