MattJVD Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I think I'd want (prime) Linden on Petey's wing. There are more talented players (Bertuzzi, Mogilny) available, but I think the fit would be best with Linden. I like the Ohlund and Jovo suggestions too, they could really anchor that 2nd pairing 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman955 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 For Forward insert Tiger minus Laff. Defense good by Myers hello Juice. You pick either. Can't go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucklehead44 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Mogilny, Linden, or Bertuzzi hard to pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Naslund, Mogliny, Bertuzzi, Linden Ohlund, Jovo. We could use a D. Bert/Linden would round out our top 6 giving us a PF. Naslund and Mogliny are stars though. With a healthy lineup take out Myers if we want a defenseman or Lafferty if forward. IDK who to choose. Probably Ohlund.

CaptainCanuck12 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Having Miller and Bertuzzi on the same line would be a total embarassment of riches, in terms of power forwards. Having two guys like that on the same line would almost be unfathomable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBatch Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) 19 hours ago, Coconuts said: Willie Mitchell would put us over the top Mitchell sure would have back in 2011. Sad but true. As for who's the guy to put us over the top. Bertuzzi was a pair. Linden for me anyways, he managed just fine with Ronning and Adam's, and later with Courtnall and Bure (as a C). He's also a RW. Even almost done, and as our 3C, he pulled us into the fight during Luongo's Turco series. Without PP time. So going with him. Glad to see Sergio Momesso get props too. Couldn't do worse as a support player. Edit: It's playoffs baby. Yes to Linden. Edited March 16 by IBatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to go with a forward it'd be Linden, I've just got a soft spot for Mitchell and he'd likely help improve our PK Defense wins championships and all that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell was a great hockey player. Much deserved of the Pratt's. Would have been fine if he got the C too. Get he was long in the tooth, and MG didn't realize his concussion would go away, but man sure wish he had a crystal ball. And just re-signed him and did something else with all that saved cash instead of Booth and Ballard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I know there was uncertainty regarding his health, but man.. what could have been Put him in the lineup and the Hawks probably don't come back and we push back more against Boston, we probably don't get run over the way we did in Boston either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Ohlund and Jovo suggestions too, they could really anchor that 2nd pairing Linden proved he could play with a variety of players. As for Bertuzzi, it was really just Naslund and Morrison. So yes have some concerns with him. Mogilny, he'd probably be the most skilled forward on the team right away, with the body to do extra stuff. So can't go wrong with that either. Like Tony Ghallagher recently said, you simply couldn't go to the front of the net and sit around in the past, like you can today. What would Mogilny do with that sort of free space? What would Linden do as well. Bertuzzi well doubt anymore could handle him at all. So not a bad pick either. We don't have a big sample size with him away from Naslund, that is concerning. And both those guys weren't defensively available. Edited March 16 by IBatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as physical as back then. He would actually be a power forward in today's game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
