Valid point re Schroeder except his face-off percentage will have to get better.

Jensen and Kassian on one line would be great. Except Schroeder should
Center that line. Kesler not a play maker. Which one of Kesler winger
has had career year playing with him.

Bring out the chopping block, heads have got to roll. Keep Kessler, Schneider and Vigneault and garage sale everyone else including Gillis.

Comment on Something’s Not Right About the Canucks Trading of Hodgson by Larry "The Nucks IceMan" Johnson

Ron, I guess we’ll have to wait to see how Cody turns out. He sure has the makings of a very good player, but like you said, he will have to pay his dues at some point.

It’s too bad about Cody’s modern “I want it all now” attitude. I think if he had been patient and stayed the course with Vigneault’s solid coaching, been humble and open to learning he could have become one of the greats.
I worry that now his development will be stunted and perhaps his physical troubles will rear their ugly heads and negatively impact on what could have been an exciting career.
I wish Cody the best and hope he comes down to Earth before he is pulled down.

Comment on Which Three Canucks are Paid too Much for Depth Positions? by Larry "The Nucks IceMan" Johnson

Yes without Salo, the D is pretty weak after you get past the names you mentioned. They need anothter tough D-man that can play top four minutes. I feel the Canucks need to add someone tougher then Hemsky. They have enough soft players. See you’re still at bleacherreport.com, good to hear from you.

Hey Larry it is scary how skinny things have gotten on defense for vancouver. Edler, Bieksa, Hamhuis and then a whole lot of nothing. With things as tight cap wise as they are for Vancouver you have to think there is someone better out there than Keith Ballard. That said he doesn’t seem to be the most tradeable commodity.
I’m certainly in love with the idea of Manny Malhotra the remade defensive center who is a bear in the face-off circle. Hate to hear he hasn’t made the full recovery from the eye injury. David Booth seems to be another guy with potential but limited by injury . I’ve always been a big Hemsky fan. Just don’t know if he can stay healthy either. Every time he’s hurt there seems to be a long time coming back to where he can play all out again. Then he gets hurt. The Canucks will have a heck of a time rearranging their line-up.
