Not faster but better. Not many are faster than Mik but he isn't great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have to address this during the season. Juulsen, Myers, who can both be split on the bottom 4. Hughes/Hronek on the top line. The ‘speed’ is still there.

Shekky Posted Monday at 09:36 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:36 PM (edited) Nurse and Desharnais was one of the worst line combos for Edmonton fortunately we don't have the most expensive Pylon on the team in the league Edited Monday at 09:36 PM by Shekky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckMan Posted Monday at 09:36 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:36 PM I’m happy with the direction management went in. We definitely added some sandpaper to the line up. Something we figured out we need more of in the line up come playoff time. Forbert, Desharnais, Debrusk, Sherwood, Heinen are all solid additions and will make us tougher to play against. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have to address this during the season. It’s more about the ‘outs’ Can they fight for the puck and move it out up to the forwards? That’s the real test. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted Monday at 09:38 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:38 PM 6 minutes ago, -dlc- said: Desharnais is also 5 years younger so that matters (around here anyhow). Hakanpaa's 32 years old or, in Canuck fan years, geriatric and ready for a walker and a retirement home. PA has built some depth on the backend. There will be serious compete in the fall camp. I don't see Freidman or Juulson going anywhere so PA will have some defenders he can move in October. The Canuck war room today must have been a sight to see. I can imagine that Foote gave a thumbs up on the Desharnais signing. I don't take his play in Edmonton as the final commentary on his game. Oilers defense was often a gong show. Canucks have far more structure and he could flourish here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya. However, I believe the bet is, can the signings ‘crush and pass’. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed is great but useless if it can't finish every once in a while. It'll probably have to be a committee approach to offense with this lineup. But if Miller keeps Millering and if Petey gets some chemistry with Debrusk, look out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, not denying that they bring speed or that swap ultimately makes sense for other reasons. Just not seeing a big speed upgrade in the exchange.

Toyotasfan Posted Monday at 09:43 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:43 PM The way teams like to target Hughes, the more muscle on our team that can punish other teams skill players the better . I don’t want the see that 3rd pairing out against other teams top lines unless we have a 5 goal lead though, they could be a little slow.

If the Nucks have a dependable and huge kind of Dcorps, then it’s all about giving the team a way to score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
