Im not joking here but AV has a high IQ.
He is sure showing that in the last 2 playoff years and this season isn't he.

When people on here talk about 2nd liners they actually mean 1st liners. Perry, Getzlaf, Carter, etc.
Man, if Gillis could have had Kadri for Luongo.............what a disaster not making that deal.
Right, and based on his point total he will be earning the money.Cheap for how long? Hodgson's ELC is up in a couple months. Based on his point total he will be heavily paid. Vancouver does need a centerman maybe two for organizational depth. Not sure what was offered in the summer but Bozak or Kadri would be a large upgrade over our 2nd 3rd and 4th line centermen. Still do no mind Raymond and Lapierre as a 4th line center but really Schoeder's play has dropped off. Coyle manhandled him though he shouldn't feel bad Coyle did it to a couple other players on the same shift. This team need's a 7th dman that can play as well. They built this d so it was not dependent on one player, but than it falls apart with one injury this year. Ballard has one point this year while supposively playing better. He needs to be able to function offensively somewhat or be perfect defensively he is neither. Alberts just is a poor player, can not pass or keep up with good players. His two big checks a game are not worth is two minor penalties and multiple giveaways a game. That should be obvious.
Anyone else SCARED of the columbus game coming up?
They are gonna thump us.
Also David Booth will not score that game
And that is the problem. We don't have the luxury of 1st line players playing 2nd line roles. I am not saying Raymond/Hansen/Higgins/Booth can't be 2nd line players but when you consider the situation in the current Western Conference, they do not match up well enough for us to succeed.

You mean the playoffs where he coached them to the finals?He is sure showing that in the last 2 playoff years and this season isn't he.
That's why we're playing so well right?
Exactly. When the Ducks have the luxury of having Ryan, Getzlaf, Perry, Selanne, spread across two lines, and the Hawks have Kane, Toews, Hossa, Sharp across two lines, we just don't match up.

Stacked defenseGimme a break, this team on paper has a stacked defense and two very good lines (with everybody healthy).
They could easily compete with a few deadline moves like we do every year.
All we need is a few trades and a coaching change, that's it

Stacked defense
And 2 good lines?!? Are u kidding. They only have 4 top 6 players lol
"Few trades". Good luck with the that
I know, the Canucks only have Sedin, Sedin, Kesler, and Burrows.

Chicago has 4 top 6 players by that standard.
Do they also suck?
By what possible standard do they only have 4 Top 6 players? Hansen is Top 90 in NHL even-strength scoring, that's 1st line numbers. Higgins and Raymond are both Top 120-150 or something like that, so clear 2nd line numbers.
If they're so good why aren't we winning? I know Kesler is out, but the Sedins and Burrows haven't looked like they're controlling the play or all that dangerous. I know the Sedins contributed to a goal tonight but it was a clear fluke of a goal. The team needs someone to take it on his back and no one is stepping up.
