Who will be the triplet with the Sedins?
Mikael Samuelsson, formerly of the Detroit Red Wings, signed as a free agent and could be handed the plum job on the right side of center Henrik Sedin and left wing Daniel Sedin. Samuelsson, 32, would surpass his totals of last season (19 goals, 40 points, even plus-minus) and likely blow away his career bests of 23 goals and 45 points from ’05-06 because the Vancouver Canucks need a right-handed shot. The other contender for that spot is Alexandre Burrows, who had a breakout season of 28 goals, 51 points, plus-23 and 150 penalty minutes. Whichever winger ends up playing on the Sedins’ line at the beginning of the season, just remember that it won’t always last an entire season. Last season, right-handed shot Steve Bernier (15 goals, 32 points in 81 games) was expected to be the triplet but was quickly moved down the depth chart.
