Gaudette Celly Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 6 hours ago, Guile said: Do you think so for the end this this season, or start of next? As with Boeser, depending on leagues timing he will be signed and finish up the year with the Canucks. If he does indeed add a few more pounds and tweak out a bit more speed as he said he intended to do this year, he will likely make the team out of camp next season -- especially if the Sedins are not back. As we saw in the prospects game, he is no doubt in the top-3 in readiness right now. 6 hours ago, Rollieo Del Fuego said: Gaudette, Pettersson, Dahlin and Goldy will be replacing Burmistrov, Gagner, Vanek and Eriksson ....next year and the rebuild will be 90% complete....Dahlin, Merkely Boqvist or Hughes with Joulevi being the other 10%.... This is going to be a very exciting team next year with lots of improvement coming this year, my only fear for the future is our dreaded Canuckluck and playoff reffing..... Goldy (like Virtanen) will be on next year unless he flames out and/or gets moved, as he'll be waivers-eligible and likely won't pass if sent down. Dahlen probably has a good shot as well, and as of now I'd put Pettersson behind them in likelihood to make it. He certainly has the skill but we'll have to see how he develops physically over the next year. Rebuild roster-wise will be near completion alright, but these guys aren't likely to be big contributors right away, so there will still be a breaking-in period for another season or two. Expecting Gagner and Eriksson to still be here though, as they will have 2 and 4 years remaining. No problem -- Gagner will go when Pettersson is ready to take over top-6 duties, and Eriksson will provide veteran presence up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risky. Would have looked pretty stupid if the goalie closed it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping he lost control and couldn't pull the trigger. Otherwise, he'll need to get that little bit of cockiness slapped out of him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Looks like he either didn't have control, or expected the goalie to slide across even sooner. No player is going to pass up a sure goal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or giving him the benefit of the doubt, he probably expected the goalie to slide across and knew the goalie would open up.

kenhodgejr Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Unless Benning makes a trade, lets all hope he is ready to crack the line up and take one of the centre spots when the Sedins retire. If he is not we will be using Granlund or Gagner in that spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get his name 9 game tryout at the end of the season and blow everyone out of the water. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horvat, Sutter, Granlund, Gagner, Gaunce, Chaput, a 'Burmistrov' can all play C. And Gaudette and Pettersson should be along shortly (ideally in the AHL with call ups for injuries/TDL next year).

Now JR, didn't we just go through all this with Brock and Jake? If the kids are ready THEY WILL BE ON THE TEAM. I'm expecting Gaudette to be Boeser II; that is, he comes in late this season then makes the team out of camp with zero AHL time because he will clearly be an NHL-ready player. This will be especially applicable if the Sedins are not signed for next season. Like Boeser a year ago, Gaudette would have pushed for a roster spot if he had gone pro this year. This season is his bonus development year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaput....just no....Gaunce is looking like a LW and Gagner has been making me Gag....( he did have a slightly better game last game ) Gaudette looks to me like he can outplay any of those 3 already...or damn close. The only way he doesn't make the team straight away next year is if Pettersson forces his way onto the team...but really...they both could make it in place of Gagner, Burmistrov or Vanek ...as the roster sits now.
