I would imagine in most cases the team would be delighted not to lose anyone under contract. Wow, now i know why Willie is playing Megna on PP1..... He is UFA. Surely Vegas is going to take the new Canuck Superstar 27 yr old J Megna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they come to a deal that player is their selection from that team. Cool... Wasn't aware of that. So they could negotiate with Miller or Rodin if they wanted to... I'd rather do that if I was them than take Gaunce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckleHorse Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I'm a fan of Brendan he is someone that could be very useful down the road he has many useful tools and he will only get better maybe we can swing a deal with a draft choice and keep him I'd rather we develop him more and see where it gets us.

LV is not taking one twin at that salary, without his brother, with a year left and clearly not able to keep up anymore. No chance. Imagine if they did though?

Reading comprehension sir typewriter genius Maybe you should watch him play instead of commenting. He's doing nothing but improving on a bad team. Trading Sbisa means we expose someone else instead, means we GET AN ASSET IN RETURN and still possibly keep Gaunce or flip said return to ensure we keep him. Now, keeping in mind that Gaunce will most certainly be exposed but there is NO guarantee he even gets selected. BUT!. Both Sbisa and Gaunce will possibly be exposed. You can lose one and get 0 return. Or you can lose one and ensure you get a return while risking the other If you like just giving away things that's cool. But to say just let him walk is sheer idiocy Yeah, so I'm saying he's a 5-6 D. AKA bottom pairing D. Easily replaceable. You would have realized that if you could put two and two together. Also my name is HBH not HBK, so I think you're the one who needs to work on their reading comprehension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4ZZY Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 i think benning will send a draft pick to protect gaunce. he's going to be a valuable player for us down the road. strong bottom six player. could be a decent middle six player, and could spot from time to time on the top six. I see him becoming a player that's almost as versatile as Hansen has been in recent years. Especially if his skating improves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepe Silvia Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 This thread is incredible. Protect Gaunce? Send draft picks to secure Gaunce? Gaunce has 1st round pick trade value? Keep Gaunce over Baertschi? The guy is a dime a dozen tweener getting limited minutes on one of the worst teams in the NHL. He doesn't play a hard physical game as some suggest. He's not a Clutterbuck, Martin, Wilson, Abdelkader, Reaves, Neil, White, Ott or Dorsett. He's not intimidating. Gaunce will never be a top 6 player, he isn't suited for a 4th line roll. Which leaves him as a career 3C or 3LW at best. With the amount of prospects we have coming up, Gaunce will be irrelevant in 2 seasons which is exactly why we shouldn't protect him or give up any assets to protect him. I understand you guys want to support our prospects, but you're not being realistic. You can grab a guy like him off waivers or for a 6th round pick. Just cause he has the 1st round pick label attached to him doesn't mean $&!#. The talent in his draft year was almost pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are looking for what is easier to get in the NHL, a 3rd or 4th line guy is the easiest to acquire. Getting a top 6 forward, an NHL defenseman or a starting goalie are the hot commodities. Chicago dumps guys like this every year and brings in a rookie or a player willing to play for minimum wage as it should be. They are a dime a dozen. I would much rather see a rookie come in with offensive upside then a guy who has proven that offense is not his strong point. He is a filler player and not much more then that period.

flickyoursedin Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Yeah as much as I like Gaunce you're not gonna expose Baertschi to protect Gaunce. Just gonna have to roll the dice and hope Vegas takes Sbisa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phat Fingers Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 He could be the future capt of the LV knights. This guy oozes a solid pro coaches dream kinda game. Hope McPhee overlooks him. Honestly I would give LV a 3rd to not take him. He may never crack 20 goals, but he will anchor a third line on a playoff team in two to three years.

I would not expose Baer for Gaunce, that silly, but I would give LV a 3rd not to take him. JB has some wheeling and dealing to do prior to the drafts. If LV takes Gaunce, he could be sent down thru waivers and we could just pick him up again. I wont get caught up in points this year with WD behind the bench. Megna on the 1st line with the twins for 40 games is not a recipe for offence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the likes of Bishop, Fleury and Darling out there, it is not a lock Miller would be the starter or even the back up. I could see some Van Beisbrock/Lidster type deals happening before the draft. It would be fun to be George McPhee for the next couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
