I would be playing Petterson at C with Sutter on the wing. Sutter can take the faceoffs while Petterson learns. It would inject some much needed playmaking into the Sutter line.
Sutter can continue to do his patented solo dash one on 3 drives while Peteresson is wide open on the side of the net :lol:

If I'm making the call hes with Boeser and someone who can thump skulls
If you need air...call it in

Sutter will pass more if he has someone to pass to. It's the same as complaining that Virtanen didn't pass enough either, when in reality, he learned to stop passing to Gaunce in the offensive zone, cuz it leads to immediate back checking.
The Cup is soooooo ours!!!!!!!

lol UDL bingo!

and tciso, Sutter in his entire career has never really been a good passer, seems to be a perennial 20/20 type guy.

Looking at Lars Eller on the Capitals though, his points are quite similar and then he exploded in the playoffs and he never cracked the blob infamous 40pt total!

Sutter has had a decent playoffs as well before with the Pens, could be one of those sleeper dudes on the 3rd line in the playoffs.

Looking at Eller's line: Burakovsky-Eller-Connolly

6'3 Burakovsky has been alright, avg around 35pts each season while 6'3 Connolly has been averaging 25ish points the past few seasons.

With the Caps having to pay huge dollars to Carlson soon, I bet the Canucks could snag Burakovsky.
Burakovsky - Sutter - Gaudette/Virtanen would be a rock solid line.

AND I still want a big gritty LW for Horvat/Boeser to help keep them healthy for the long season, they are pivotal for the team to stay afloat.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

For the illustrious Pettersson, I'd want him with Eriksson and a big LW/C type on his left, start him on the 3rd line.

Why LE?

Because he is Swedish?

LE deserves no nothing until he earns it, right now he mails it in. Maybe he is misunderstood or mid typed cast. All I know is that for $6M the bucks are getting bent over the table.

Blobby is curious about these things... :wink:

Personally I think Hollywood stole Reefer's persona in order to create the Brick Tamland character.

Yeahno, he earned more icetime per game than the Sedins over their 2 years together.

Well as someone who has said he collects his paycheques with a ski mask and a gun, perhaps he didn’t really earn them

... or perhaps schmucks such as yourself (no offense) don't see the value of a superior 200-foot game.

Not worth $6M per season.
