Juolevi should get his 9 games before we ship him out to a European team. He can't grow much more in the OHL again.

Unless he makes the team.whats the news on rodin,,i liked what i seen from him,before he was re ińjured.and im not sure about burmistrov,,whats everyones take on these guys,,
I have a feeling Rodin is going to get a raw deal. Will start the year sitting in the press box or getting 6 minute games with Dorsett and the like. Frustrating since he should be given every opportunity to succeed but will need an injury to get a real look. The Gagner signing was so asinine.

Rodin will be 27 this year, its time for him to be an NHL player or not. Regardless of where he plays in the lineup.

I remember last year people were saying Rodin was going to be our Panarin
He's a skilled shifty winger. Will need him to stay healthy to see what he's really all about.
I think the Burmistrov signing was pretty underrated. He has some familiarity with our new PP coach Newell Brown so maybe we'll see him get some ice time there.

He wasn't a dominant force in the OHL last season, I think he still has some room to grow.
When you finally have a minimum semblance of depth, why would you want to go out and immediately trade it away. Evaluate what you have in NHL action first.
You know the injuries are right around the corner. If you demote a few talented players, when the injury bug bites you can replace them with guys you know can reasonably step in for the time being. If you trade them, your call-ups will flat out suck as the talent pool in Utica after those sent down is very weak.

wow good thing thats ur summer line up
cause come fall the twins will be on either the top line or the second,,and gadjovick will be back in jr.Boeser,will be in the line up,and hopfully dorsett and sutter are moved.
Says who? I think the Sedins should be on the 3rd line, or maybe split up one on the second one on the 3rd.

Unlikely they will on the 3rd line and even more unlikely they will be split.
I think Horvat's line with Sven and the Sedins with Sutter will split top like minutes in a 1a/1b sorta role.
Where Bowie Horvat now that Johansen signed?
Posted in around the league.
Nothing left to talk about, Travis Green make them hop.

I just dunno. There's just no credible arrangement of forwards that doesn't have a ton of crap or question marks.

Best lineup we can make with the players we have right now is probably as follows:
Sedin-Sedin-Gagner
Baertschi-Horvat-Eriksson
Goldobin-Gaunce-Boucher
Granlund-Burmistrov-Sutter
Edler-Stecher
Hutton-Tanev
DelZotto-Biega
Markstrom
That's still a bottom feeder team. I don't even know that this is any better than Vegas.
No lineup that has Sutter on 4RW is ever going to happen; I think that is what he meant by "credible."

Oh absolutely. To go a step further I don't think any lineup that has Sutter on 4C is ever going to happen.
Here is what I would like to see
Sven-Horvat-Boeser
Sedin-Sedin-Goldobin
Granlund-Gagne-Erkisson
Gaunce-Sutter-Virtanen
Elder-Stecher
Hutton-Tanev
Del Zotto- Gud
It mixes the young guys in getting hem experience.
Also since we don't have any really high end scoring I think I lineup like this could work by balancing icetime keeping everyone fresh.
Say minute wise 18-16-14-12 with sitter getting some extra time on the Pk. Perhaps even 18-15-14-13 to keep the Sedins fresh all season.

If I'm trying to make the most competitive roster, it's something like :
Baertschi-Horvat-Boeser
Sedin-Sedin-Granlund
Gaunce-Sutter-Eriksson (would prefer Gaunce at center here but it'll never happen)
Gagner-Burmistrov-Dorsett (Gagner to be used as Swiss Army Knife with lots of PP time and shifted around top-9 as injuries happen, which will be pretty much all the time)
Would prefer something other than Dorsett, but you know he'll play. Could flip Eriksson and Granlund. I don't see a great way to get both Goldobin and Boeser quality icetime and still ice some sort of defensive/matchup line.

The forwards and D look like an improvement over last year...(but they look far from imposing)....The wildcard is the loss of Ryan Miller,who singlehandedly won games they had no business being in,the last two seasons.....If Markstrom craps the bed..watch out.
Either or. Chaput/Burmistrov would be my 12th/13th forwards with that roster.

I totally missed this news...
Canucks forward Dorsett will be ‘ready for camp’ after neck surgery
http://nhl.nbcsports.com/2017/08/04...tt-will-be-ready-for-camp-after-neck-surgery/
Good on him... you know he's one that would work his tail off to get back.
Start penciling him on that 4th line for your rosters...

Those forward lines are atrocious. Huge holes left by the trade of Hansen and Burrows, although the Burrows trade was definitely worth it. There is nothing good about that lineup. It's somehow both old and inexperienced and likely the softest roster in the league. Probably the least physical lineup the Canucks have ever iced in over 45 years. It has a few fast players but it's not a fast lineup and we will be lucky to have two 20 goal scorers. I don't think we have a single penalty killing winger either unless you count Gaunce as a winger.
Defense could be a bit better than last year but when injuries strike as usual it's gonna look really ugly. Goaltending will be worse but I'm happy that Miller is finally gone. Looks like a team that traded everyone away for more draft picks while tanking for a generational talent except we did neither. Year 4 of spinning the wheels and adding barely any extra draft picks while simultaneously trying to retool and make the playoffs.
