I think another issue is that DeBrusk and Petey don’t seem to have found chemistry yet and again it’s the question of who is on the other wing with Petey. We are clearly lacking two bonafide top 6 players. No disrespect to Sprong, Heinen, or Bains but these guys aren’t the answer or the other teams would have kept them. They are third liners. We keep trying third liners in the top 6. Hasn’t really worked out.

Petey does a great defensive job even when not scoring. It is early in the game and season. I think we will see Petey of old throughout the year, no worries here.

The even better defensive game would be dominating his shifts in the offensive zone.. both in goals and possession. For some reason he doesn't do that anymore. I'd rather have him driving offence then trying to win a Selke.

This is why we are 2 or 3 years away from PEAK Canucks. 

 

But we still have a playoff team here in the meantime.

Ya, it’s just weird to see him so average. I really couldn’t tell the difference between him and Blueger right now. He doesn’t dominate and that should concern everyone. What if this is it for 11.6 million? Scary thought.

Bring up Brannstrom. I mean why not 


I guess you have to try something 

 

That third pairing is even worse than I expected, it’s borderline unplayable right now.

This.

 

When was the last time we saw Petey doing his patented deke?

Or shooting, or hitting, or skating…there is lots to add to this list. I guarantee if we are worried that management must be even more terrified.
