Rollieo Del Fuego Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Adams trajectory has skyrocketed ...he was written off by some after his start to the season and now the Bandwagon will be pulling through anytime and the sky is the limit....

Gaudette Celly Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 C'mon, JB -- it was looking like Gaudette was the one dud from the draft. Now they all look promising? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Two more assists for Gaudette tonight - now has 5-11-16 in 24 games. Really an impressive run he's been on lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gstank29 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) 11 points in his last 6 games. I haven't checked there oponents over that stretch but thats really impressive for a True Freshman Edit: Played some really good teams the first three games (BC twice and Michigan State) but the last 4 games have been weaker opponents Edited January 23, 2016 by Gstank29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 At this point, Gaudette could go pointless for the rest of his season and he'd still be finishing ahead of the curve. For a freshman player drafted in the later rounds, he's already more than exceeded expectations. And exceeding expectations seems like a running theme for Benning's picks from this draft year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post canucklehead44 Posted January 23, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) At the draft I pointed out that Gaudette and Neill look like re-incarnations of Matson and Polasek based on their league, point totals, age, size, draft position etc. Taylor Matson (draft year) USHL - 55 GP 13G 24A 37 PTS Taylor Matson (draft year +1) WCHA - 13 GP 1G 0A 1 PTS Adam Gaudette (draft year) USHL - 50 GP 13G 17A 30 PTS Adam Gaudette (draft year +1) H-East - 24 GP 5G 11A 16 PTS Insane seeing the difference. In Taylor Matson's fourth season, and what you could call his "breakout': 43 GP 8G 15A 23 PTS Now Matson isn't even that bad of a pro player. In his actual rookie year an injury de-railed him the entire season. In Minnesota's system he scored 42 in 39 in the ECHL, 5 in 32 in the AHL. He now plays in the SHL and has 16 points in 35 games - 2nd line numbers in a good league. Patrick White, our favourite first round bust - WCHA 46 GP 6G 4A 10 PTS Compared to other forwards going from USHL to UNIV from that draft: Colin Greenway - #50 overall - H-East - 23 GP 2G 11A 13 PTS Erik Foley - #78 overall - H-East - 21GP 3G 6A 9 PTS Brent Gates - #80 overall - Big-10 - 22 GP 3G 2A 5 PTS Brendan Warren - #81 overall - Big-10 - 21 GP 5G 9A 14 PTS Tim Novak - #85 overall - Big-10 - 22 GP 2G 14A 16 PTS Christian Wolanin - #107 overall - NCHC - 19 GP 3G 6A 9 PTS Troy Terry - #148 overall - NCHC - 23 GP 5G 4A 9 Pts So far, Gaudette is tied first in both goals and points for players drafted between him and the mid-second round. Looks like an awesome pick by GMJB, especially considering Gaudette's USHL stats were a lot softer than most of these guys listed.

Gaudette Celly Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Something seems to have "clicked in", as he had very few points the first 2-3 months of the season. Anyone see any interviews of his coach or reports on his play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matson actually could've been a decent depth player, great on faceoffs as I remember... he was just devastated by injuries. I think he only player a handful of games with the Wolves for us. Gaudette definitely is showing more of an offensive upside though which is great to see. Side note, Gaudette got another goal today. His 17 points puts him fourth on his team in scoring now. 7th in Hockey East freshman scoring as well. Goal's at 40 seconds of the video below: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Gaudette just keeps rolling. Great to see. Further to the discussion above, it's kinda amazing to look at our 2015 picks from rounds 4-7 (Zhukenov, Neill, Gaudette, Jasek, and Olson) and realize that, at this point at least, I wouldn't be able to really call any of them "bad" picks if they had actually been drafted in the 3rd round! Still a ways to go before any of them can be confirmed as "hits" but some pretty encouraging D+1 results nonetheless. I can't wait to see how Benning and the scouts follow things up with their next draft. Especially if we manage to stockpile a few extra picks this year.

It is easy to get overly excited about the potential of draft picks as they move through their careers. Totally agree with your point about how well they look so far. I am a 'tanker' and hope that Benning moves vets into the TDL for maximum benefit. IMO Benning has done a good job with his drafting, trades and signings. That said I suspect the 'tough' times for the Canucks have not bottomed yet. When the Twins are no longer 1st line players the crunch will come. The fact that the young players have done as well as they have should not be a on going expectation but a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wshdrvvn Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Can't wait to see what he does in the beanpot.

As said elsewhere, moving vets will NOT tank this team, but might well improve it, as evidenced by the recent sitting of Prust and Weber and waiving of Higgins. Sorry to disappoint -- this team is not going to implode and sink to the bottom, if that's what you consider a "benefit". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
