They need to play somebody on his wing? The main player with Petey was Mika, who is also a left wing... They traded for Lindholm, who originally was pencilled in for Peteys RW, but that experiment failed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alflives Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 16 minutes ago, N4ZZY said: Debrusk is a LW, who's going to be playing on Petey's right side? Debrusk plays equally well on either wing. Sherwood might play a few games in the top six but mostly he will play a bottom six role. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilunga Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Good Hockey Writers article about what Jake will bring to our team. https://thehockeywriters.com/canucks-debrusk-signing-good-move/ Very happy with picking up Jake. Gotta a feeling this is going to turn into a bargain contract, and more importantly, he will improve our team in both the regular season and the playoffs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually it'll be Lekkerimaki... they may have to do the same with Hogs or another LW this season, but more because of circumstances...

Ray_Cathode Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 On 7/1/2024 at 4:26 PM, N4ZZY said: Fans banging on this drum. I get it. I'd like to see if he disappears just like he did last year, then something is definitely wrong. Might have signed a bad contract. But I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt. He's too good, and too talented to just disappear like he did this past season. As a fan, I'm hoping he rises to the occasion, and does better this coming season, as he now has experience moving forward. Apparently he was injured. I guess the team figured it was more important to give the team a strong season than to rest him and get healed. Getting better performance from Kuz and Mikheyev might have helped, too. I think we have a better selection of wingers for him this year. If the Sedins take over the power play, that could also help him in playing your half wall as a play maker.

RWMc1 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Just now, Bob Long said: I think it's been more about trusting him later in games. JR said that the Sedins helped him break some of his bad habits. He's been more reliable defensively and that has helped his game. Miller Boeser need someone who can get in on the forecheck and retrieve the puck like PDG was doing earlier in the season. Also PDG and Suter were having trouble finishing so Hoggy could definitely be a better option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for Podz, he doesn't have the mental fortitude and tenacity....physically he has it, but I think any fearlessness he had, still mentally speaking here, has been coached out of him. Sprong is infinitely the better player, and better choice. Edited July 27 by Sophomore Jinx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammertime Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 The way I see the depth chart right now. Debrusk Pete Brock Joshua Miller Garland Heinen Blueger Sherwood Hogs Suter Sprong Pod Aman PDG Bains Raty Karlsson Hughes Hronek Soucy Myers Forbort Descharnais Wolainen Juules Hirose Woo Demko Silovs Tolopilo/Patera I think Sherwood will play top 9 mins he actually found himself 7th in fwd ice time for Nashville during the playoffs. 10th reg season. It's my opinion we may not see anyone put up 100pts this year but we will be one of the top scoring teams in the league. A very good checking 3rd line could be the key to unlocking 40-50pt seasons from both Sprong Hoglander playing 12mins which would be huge value. 100+G from our bottom 6 while diminishing those against for 9.25m would be amazing.

That would be tough since Manny will be coaching Abbotsford full time and not helping out with the skill development on the big club . Unless, of course, they send Sherwood down Highway 1 for whatever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debrusk-Petterson-XX Heinen-Miller-Boeser Joshua-Suter-Garland Sherwood-Blueger-Sprong/Hoglander I think the perfect fit there would be Vatrano. Anaheim is a couple years away from playoff hockey and Vatrano is on a great but expiring contract. Debrusk-Petey-Vatrano Hoglander-Miller-Boeser Joshua-Blueger-Garland Heinen-Suter-Sherwood Sprong I actually think Hoglander is going to have a big year. He seemed to understand the defensive side of the game more and more last year which will earn the coaches trust giving him top 6 minutes. I could see 30 goals (only 6 more than last year) from him especially in a contract year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
