RedRover Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Hey guys. Longtime fan resurfacing online to shake up and yadda yadda Its pretty tough to get excited when you been around the fanbase so long, but here we are The acquisitions of zadorov and lindholm are rounding off an inbalanced team no one had on their radar in the fall nicely. It looks like all we need now is depth, and depth is is a matter of ability not just personnel. I would try and offer Jay Beagle a job. just to win draws if he is healthy and ready. He has a higher win % than Malhotra, and hasn't officially retired. We all saw the effect Manny Malhotra seemed to have had on Maxime Lapierre and Henrik Sedin face off skills during the run. I think he could be worth league min as an effective cap feather for special teams. this would add a layer of chaos to the run for other teams knowing that Elias Lindholm isn't the only guy who can get that puck back consistently to Hughes's corner in a blink off the draw. cheers please add ideas on solid right hand face off centers that are actually attainable and could slot into the bottom 6 for the cup run this year.

Reckless Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Even though Beagle is known to always stay in great shape, he hasn’t played in two years…what the actual f is this proposal? If you mean a player like Beagle, who can win draws and play a D minded game then there’s an argument that would help our 4th line out. But for Beagle specifically? Hahah wtf is going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 There may be some centres out there who can take draws but you are mentioning Jay Beagle - a guy that's been retired for almost two years now. What are you talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRover Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 (edited) you never know. coming out of retirement for 6 months isnt hard if a cup rings likely. it would be his 2nd Edited February 5 by RedRover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteyBOI Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) i think we are doing ok we are what 3rd in the league for defense and we just got a RH selke nominated top 3 centerman in the league...

JeremyCuddles Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I think we're fine now that we have Lindholm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nux_win Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I would say that we could use a player like Beagle, i.e. a rugged center who can win face-offs and play a hard game, but not Beagle himself. There must be someone available who is more in game shape. Like another poster said, we're in good shape now with Lindholm, but it never hurts to have extra depth on center in case of injuries. And I think we still need to beef up a little to survive the playoffs. Go Canucks Go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickyoursedin Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Beagle would be too slow! The idea of him coming back now and if he even trained enough to maintain in game shape is just crazy. So if he lost a faceoff he’d then turn into a liability on the ice. I just don’t think we need the add in that position but if you really want to spend more draft capital for a 4th line center Nico Sturm on SJ, Tomas Nosek on NJ(on IR I believe, and a guy that’s been good on the dot in seasons prior is Nic Dowd WSH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 We've got Miller and Lindholm, who are both incredible in the dot. Even Petey is not terrible anymore. We don't need a face-off ace at centre. Even Blueger is above 50% and Joshua is usually over 50%, though he doesn't play the centre role on our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Beagle! What you been doing these last two years. Hope all is well. I don't think u need to make a come back. Benning paid you handsomely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Korea Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 25 minutes ago, Crabcakes said: He's still playing. Lost a step I imagine. He's keeping Kladno afloat. But I guess the OP is looking for inactive players? 28 minutes ago, HKSR said: I think Henrik and Daniel could still put up 40 pts a season I think they could put up 40 pts but not on Vancouver anymore. In even strength we rely so much on forechecking and speed to retain possession, they're gonna get cooked. In the offensive zone we've moved away from the low cycle in favour of the high cycle, with the pointmen criss-crossing to shake the high defenders. Ironically they could do damage on the Penguins, who are already old AF and desperately need help on the power play. Their play is dicated around Crosby, who is a monster in puck control down low. The twins would fit right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
