(EDIT: And then I remember the call up rule after the deadline, so yeah. BUT STILL) I wish we could do this. With Higgins out, and Hansen clearly not meshing with Roy, and Weise being a black hole where all things offence go to die (he's a great fourth liner), I wish we could call up Shreds, who's playing great on the farm, and go with:
Dank-Hank-Kank
Burrows-Roy-Kesler
Raymond-Schroeder-Hansen
Sestito-Lappy-Weise
???
Best way to make sure Roy never re-signs here? Play with with the Dutch and Danish superstars some more.
Note, I think Hansen might just be my favourite player on the Canucks, but he doesn't mesh with Roy. Weise is great in his role, but he's not a third liner, and you could visibly see that Roy was frustrated playing with him.
