I'm also not down of trading Gaunce. But if we have to trade for an organizational need, then I guess he would be the perfect guy. Many teams will definitely try and grab him as he is a very good prospect indeed. Right now we have 4 centers that have a legitimate chance of making the bigs in the future. Horvat McCann Cassels Gaunce. McCann has potential to be first line center for us while Horvat centers the second line with this defensive two-way game that can put Kesler type numbers and clutch numbers as well hopefully . Now we have Gaunce and Cassels. Gaunce, as someone mentioned above earlier, is that he is those kinds of prospects that looks to transition to the bigs quite easily. I will be really happy if he becomes our future dedicated 3rd line center that can play 2nd line minutes when necessary. Kinda like Brandon Sutter who is a terrific 3rd line center that can play top 6 minutes and produce. Since this is "Gaunce talk" I will keep Cassels out of the mix McCann, Horvat, and Gaunce in the mix down the middle that all can win faceoffs, looks to be a deadly center core group. I mean just look at teams like LA, Boston, Pittsburgh etc. They have 3 centers that can all play top 6 minutes and play a steady, reliable minutes and if we really want to roll 4 lines in the future, we need to have 4 lines that can win faceoffs and get us points. I think Gaunce brings that stability which is why I really want him to be here. Just my two cents worth.

EDIT: ..

His first goal of his two tonight was a beauty. A few images of the game tonight. http://www.calgarysun.com/2014/11/30/calgary-hitmen-fall-to-vancouver-giants
