Canucks shootout choices?

Burrows is our best guy (50%) but needs to be told to just do his one move. That's the only way he scores. Whenever he tries anything else it's a fail.
Kassian is probably 2nd best. Schroeder likely 3rd best. After that it's a total disaster.

We are not built for the shootout at all. The Sedins are probably among the worst shootout guys in the league and while I love Hansen, he's awful at breakaways.
The only other options we have is Higgins and Schroeder, IMO, and they are not any better than what we regularly put out.
And hey, Burrows is at around 50% in his career.

I've probably seen Burrows' move before, anyone got a video of it though? I hadn't even thought about Schroeder.
Schroeder is actually good at shootouts. He has a very good shot and a whole bunch of dekes. I think he's around 40% in the AHL.

Just youtube it.... Couldn't be easier to do yourself.
Any shot that goes in is going to be that move.

i think he tried to "mix it up" tonight, too bad it looked ****in awful and was probably illegal anyway

Why does AV use Edler in the shoot out? The guy tosses a lazy wrister 5 hole EVERY SINGLE TIME!
Schroeder needs a go in the shoot out. AV needs to stop sack riding these guys and mix it up for once.

So Burrows is basically the Sam Gagner in the shootout for the Canucks then. Though I haven't seen career shootout stats. They have their bread and butter move, Burrows likes to change it up, Gagner just got figured out, though it looks like he may be starting to score on it again.
Wellwood was good. Tambellini was good. We've had lots of good shootout players through the years, but we keep getting rid of them.
Wouldn't mind seeing some not-so-obvious choices once and a while. What would Manny be like? Higgins? Raymond?
One thing is for sure, the team needs to be practicing shootout drills or something. They're so important this year, and we seem to do doing them almost every game.

Tambellini is an FA and skating with Kesler in Vancouver at the moment (or so I've read). Pick him up and waive Ebbett.

Kassian, Burrows, Schroeder.
Kesler when he gets back, and Jensen either the end of this season or beginning of next(he owns the shootouts in Sweden).

Edler keeps doing that move, or shot because it was last year I believe, he went on a little streak while doing that shot. It's the only shot he knows, so he's going to stay with it, just like Burrows and how he should just stick with his forehand, backhand, shelf move.

Agree.
Has Higgins been used before? He has decent hands, but I can't remember.
