I drew up the GDT in ten minutes. You're gonna love it.
Made the GDT in ten minutes? That's actually quite fitting, considering the Canucks' effort last time we played the Ducks.

Until injuries/trades are healed/made, this seems to make the most sense.
The physicality Kassian brings to the first goes without saying, and when the occasional game arises where he goes AWOL, Burr can fill his usual duties.
Do you feel Ebb is a viable alternative for the fourth?

The reason I love Kassian with the Sedins is not so much what he can do for them - the idea that he's a hypothetical "perfect fit" for their style of play -, but what they can do for him. Kassian's biggest flaw is one of consistency - what better way is there to fix that than to put him with the two most consistent players we have and have him learn and absorb their work ethic. Furthermore, the twins' style of play - the cycling, boardwork, and physical punishment they take on a game to game basis - lends itself perfectly to keeping Kassian in the game and alert at all times. This means that their style of play wil hopefully enhance his Kass' strengths and not just the other way around
We're guys; we can do EVERYTHING in 10 minutes....
Tough call. Ebbett has little physical presence (jeebus, I'm sound like LMG ). Not the type of player you want on the 4th line. IMHO, for the game he plays, it's an offensive role or nothing....I don't think it would hurt if Lapierre was gone that much because Ebbett can take his role on the forth line. Only thing that worries me is that AV might do something like Ebbett on the 2nd line again.
Yeah I guess Ebbett wouldn't be bad on the fourth but I would like to keep Volpatti on that forth line because he brings a physical presence.

I am a bit worried given how bad our D has looked and the amount of snipers on the ducks how this game will turn out.
Hopefully we get a full 60 minute effort from the backend.

I hope he goes back to Luongo. I'd like to see both starters get warmed up for the season.
