Love the video
honestly, I feel like this can only work if Hronek plays well with Soucy. If he doesn’t, Foote will put him and Hughes back together
Quinn Hughes can play with anyone and be well protected with Desharnais from physical abuse at the same time. Canuck management is smart . This is not the Benning era. This management team reminds me of Pat Quinn and Brian Burke and coach Mark Crawford. Crawford always coached outside the box…….He just lost his career because Crawford was a hot head. Crawford was an excellent coach however.
Super excited for this season, love the additions, excited to see how the season turns out
You guys heard the one about Wayne Gretzky. He brought Jarri Kurri with him on his wedding night. He had to have someone to put it in for him. Ye old joke.
Hronek , Soucy would be a pretty good pairing.
I'd say trying Vinnie Desharnais out on the top line with Hughes is at least worth a look in the preseason to see how to goes. If it works, would be a great way to spread the puck movement defensemen across more of the lineup, and at the same time move the aging Myers down to the 3rd pairing with Forbort, which also kind of makes sense, so we can take advantage of the veteran's size and experience, while not having his age and possible stamina issues being a liability from him purely making fatigue errors from being on the ice too much.
Could also be an occasional pairing where you rotate him up there periodically when resting Myers and getting someone like Juulson some reps, as well, and if Vinnie can get the stamina to go on a high minutes top line regularly by the season after, maybe? You never know until you try. Maybe Tocchett sees a "Vennie Desharnais doesn't know how good Vinnie Desharnais is" kind of thing?
Schenn was a far better player than Vicent. I really don't know how good of a passer he is or even recieving pucks. . If it is true then staff had seen something in him that would make them believe he can play at that level.. Not convinced but willing to have faith he does well.
A couple of the guys on these comments dont know how Vinny plays. Yes he is 6'7 200 something but he does not play to use his size like that.
I think it's a good idea actually. Hughes got pummeled in the playoffs he needs someone to help him out. If the Canucks are smart they'll get Hughes extended now instead of 3 years from now. It will be cheaper in the long run and Hughes loves it in Vancouver, he won't demand the maximum. I think 12 mill a year for 8 years will get it done. It has to be more than Petey's contract.
At first I hated the idea but if the canucks are not going to trade for a top 4 dman, it doesn't sound like a bad idea. However, hronek has the learn how to carry a line by himself
Would’ve been nice to keep Z to play that role since he’s less of a pylon movement wise than Vinny. But who knows maybe he’s working with Quinn’s mom on his power skating this summer.
im sure theyll try out a bunch of line combos and pairings. its the matter of how long will it actually last.
What? and play Forbort with Soucy?
their is no harm in trying it out.
We have also seen when soucy is out of the lineup we suck
It’s funny I just mentioned this idea a day or two ago on Canucks unofficial forum. My reasoning came after watching an oilers fan make a video on Desjarnais. He said they tried him out with Nurse on the top line but it didn’t work out. Oilers fan was extremely impressed with his ability to learn considering how late of a bloomer he is. This could very well be a break out season for him. He plays a solid shut down D style of hockey. Quinn is not Nurse. He has better skating and offence. I think Quinn would benefit from a big body to clear the net and keep people honest.
Hughes Desjarnais
Soucy Hronek
Forbort Myers
Each line gets some offence and some shut down D ability. Each line has size
I know the kid credits the original writers at the athletic, but this is a person on youtube reporting info he got from a website that got that info from another website… what are we even doing? Lolll
