Great for DOC but...” - Satiar Shah

Won’t be surprised if DOC outplays those two for the rest of their careers if they all stay Canucks. Those two should ask for trades. DOC may get fewer points but he has size, can skate fast and knows how to defend and kill penalties. I liked him as a checking centre. Sasson is faster, but gets lost defensively and knocked down more than Petey. He may be okay as a winger, but head to head defending good centres he doesn’t stand a chance. DOC is much more aggressive, physical and forechecks better. Raty is too slow. If everyone is still around, next season they should go with Petey, Rossi, Cootes and DOC down the middle. They can keep Raty and Sasson around as depth, or on the wing with less defensive responsibilities, but neither are long term solutions for this team. They should be playing DOC at centre for the rest of this season so he can get used to the role.

O’Connor, Karlsson and Sasson have made up for DeBrusk and Boeser’s lameness. Was always on the fence with the DeBrusk signing. He was known to disappear like this in Boston. Really not good having two expensive veteran wingers shitting the bed this year and clearly being outplayed by Karlsson and O’Connor and Sasson.
