Yup sadly so far this is a one man top line forward team for now in Bo Horvat, his pal Baertschi seems destined to be a career 2nd line LW averaging 35-40 points per season, which is good for cheap depth.Reefer2 wrote:Horvat is the single top 3 forward on the team.Iceman2014 wrote:Who is the one top 3 forward?

But that blueline....
If you disagree tell me who will be top 3 for this team?
Boeser has potential to be a #1 line forward, but like with all Canucks coaches it's gonna take a few months for him to earn the coaches trust to get those quality minutes.
The Dahlen-Pettersson combo has vast potential (prospect,prospect,prospect) yes, but gonna take a couple years for those seeds to blossom.
To help sell tickets and get a winger who can help Horvat in the top line I'd still kick the tires on Duchene or even Landeskog.
If those prove to be too rich, I'd stil like to target Galchenyuk, the perfect buy low candidate, he'd be a perfect 3rd line center with Eriksson, and could be a good placeholder on the 2nd line while Pettersson develops for a couple years when the Sedins retire.
#1C Horvat
#2C Sedin
#3C Galchenyuk
