Thread: Benning's 2016/17 Canucks-- From a Pessimistic Van Fan
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>alwaysnextyear</b></div><div><i><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hepd16</b></div><div><i>Good luck with Brandon Sutter. Expect a lot of shots from the right side on the rush. He will score goals from there, however, the man does not get assists. I'm not sure he's a 2nd Line center either.</i></div></div>
Agreed, he's a 3rd liner at best, but the management are convinced otherwise. Honestly my hope is that the Canucks are so far out of it by the deadline that they really don't have a choice but to sell off assets.</i></div></div>

Another issue is that Sutter is just a rail. He doesn't fight for the puck, and he won't out hit the other team either. So he doesn't really have a place on the 3rd line either. He does have some scoring touch, but that's rare. Goals tend to come in bunches for him, or none at all. He's just not a playmaker. He's almost better suited for winger duties in some regards.

Thread: pens 2016-2017
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>josh_robs_</b></div><div><i>Plotnikov is untested he will not be starting on the first line. I would assume he will be a fourth or third liner. Also, Bonino does not belong on the wing, if anyone will play out of position it will be Fehr on Bonino's wing when Fehr returns to the line up.</i></div></div>

This is for 2016-2017, Josh. I was just taking a stab at what could happen after this upcoming season. Plotnikov is very raw, and I'm honestly not sure where he fits. But, he could develop with the physicality he brings and his really solid shot. As for Bonino, he CAN move around, that's why I moved him to wing, if he and Fehr have to change, then that's not an issue. But, please be sure to know that this is not a 2015-2016 roster.

Thread: Ideal Trade Before Season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sqm918</b></div><div><i><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Noahchill97</b></div><div><i>Dallas has enough defensive problems before trading Daley, why would they trade another top 4 defenseman for a top 6 at best. And Bonino is looking at top 6 minutes, will definitely not be a 4th liner</i></div></div>

Bonino is not looking at top-6 minutes. Only way he plays in the top-6 is if there r injuries to the top-6 players.</i></div></div>

He is certainly going to be penciled in for the 3rd or 4th line (maybe when Fehr gets back). Cullen will handle 4th line duties for the first couple of months, and then Bonino could be moved to third liner W or C. Lots of flexibility, but I don't see him being in the Top 6.
