It's all in how you retrieve it...cause winning the faceoff, the other team is also coming at you...it can go both ways if you have a strategy on how to control it when you lose or when you win....but yeah, I'd rather win it, but statistically it's a meh stat. Losing it you can hammer them physically is one way to gain an advantage from a lost draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put Gaudette with the four players mentioned and watch him succeed. Edited September 21, 2019 by Pete M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey and I just noticed A-J said it might take til 2021 for Gaudette to take Sutter's spot. That I can agree with, just not the "other level" unless he meant "AHL level" then I would agree with that also. Buenas tardes amigo. Neccesito bailar.

So you figure he has dropped 13 lbs in the last 4 years from the age of 18 to the age of 22? Sounds very plausible. This careful research and the respect for truth/facts that you demonstrate contribute to your credibility and the great respect you receive on this site. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combover Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 To bad Brandon softer and his albatross unmovable contract will be the reason Gaud doesn’t start in Van. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if they really think he's one of the best 9 players he can play the wing, and bump Virtanen/Leivo/exc down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette wasn't great at all defensively this game. He isn't ready to center a third line if he continues to struggle on the dot and in his own zone. Sutter set up a nice chance and broke up a few plays defensively. He just plays a simple game offensively. He isn't as good as Gaudette offensively but he is better on the dot and in his own end. That allows Horvat freedom offensively and gives us 2 dangerous offensive lines. Horvat could put up to 70 points if used more offensively than he was last year. Don't get me wrong I want Gaudette to take over the role but when he's ready in all aspects. If he's only up here because of his offense then throw him on the wing. Play him 20+ minutes a night in Utica instead of 12 with most of his shifts in his own zone. 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn1 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 It was nice to see him score but defensively he was brutal. Right now, Sutter is the better player. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrwipeout Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 a lineup right now would be, Ferland-Petey-Brock Pearson/Baer-Bo-Miller Baer/Pearson-Sutter-Virtanen Leivo-Beagle-Loui Hard to see gaud, goldy, motte, roussel unless ur looking for specific roles to fill. Injuries will most likely occur and thats where gaud will fit in. But the competition is tight compared to last season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based off last year, I think Roussel would probably get in over Leivo and Virtanen. He produced more than both and provided in other ways as well. I agree that the others are probably hard-pressed to get a spot though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaud could play on the 3rd with Sutter moving down, and Roussel and Motte both are superior options to our 6 million dollar floater.

AR scored 9 goals and 22 assists and Jake had 15 goals and 10 assists. I don't see a big difference in there production and Leivo didn't play a whole season but had 10 goals and 8 assists in 49 games. Descent production, responsible defensively and a hard worker. As good or better than AR I would say. Just a few thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Points-per-game: Leivo: 0.37 (with Vancouver) Virtanen: 0.36 Roussel: 0.48 Roussel was a notable step ahead of both the others IMO. 3 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a very smart player who knows how to get the opposition off their game. He makes the team more difficult to play against. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn1 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I like Roussel and love that he is on our team. I just see Jake and Josh as more valuable because of their age but you make good points about Roussel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baer is the better play maker, and Sutter needs a play making winger. I could see Goldy on that third line too in a play making winger role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
