gerry35 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I think Torts would have been happy with a guy like this, seems fitting that the two in a small way will be linked from now on. Looks like the kind of guy you would want in the playoffs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGokou Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Only basing on stats but he's already better than Lucic was in his draft + 1 year (which is probably more comparable considering Gadjovich is a early birthday and Lucic was a later birthday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"He's not a good by any means, but can definitely handle himself... If you're unsure about what you're going into, you're going to get beat up... nobody wants to fight Jonah... he creates a lot of space for himself because of that." Can't wait till he and Guddy put Tkachuk, Ferklund, Maroon, Brown, and the other clowns in our conference in their place. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice orca Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I like this pick..big tough kid that lives in the dirty areas on the ice. Need some net front guys with grit, other than Horvat we have none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ghostsof1915 Posted June 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2017 I find it hilarious. When Benning draft's grit, people freak out and say he should draft skill. Then he drafts skill, and people freak out and say he should draft grit. Looks like he did a little bit of both in this draft. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be awesome to have 3 prospects make the WJC Canada squad in the same year. Also loving this pick. Despite being on the older side of the draft class (possibly why he fell to the 2nd round?) Gadjovich sounds like he's got the right attitude and determination to succeed at the NHL level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the 1981 team had Canucks picks Garth Butcher, Moe Lemay and Frank Caprice...................................... Exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gaudette Celly Posted July 4, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2017 Jonah Gadjovich, prospect/blogger by Jonah Gadjovich @JGadjovich / Canucks prospect 11:26 AM Hello Vancouver! Jonah Gadjovich here, I've been asked to write a blog during Vancouver Canucks Development Camp and although I was too busy over the weekend to collect my thoughts, it's go-time now! I got into Vancouver on Thursday, June 29th and it's my first time to this beautiful city. It was a clear day when the plane was descending and I was amazed. Looking out the window I couldn't believe the mountains, trees, ocean and city itself; I knew it was going to be a great week as soon as I stepped off the plane. Friday was filled with a rink tour, checking out the Canucks dressing room, meeting the staff and getting to know the other prospects. It was a bit nerve-wracking coming in, but I saw some familiar faces right away. Petrus Palmu and I were roommates for the last three years in Owen Sound, Mike Carcone and I grew up in the same hometown of Whitby, Ontario, during this year's draft combine I got to know Michael DiPietro well, Brett McKenzie and I have the same agent, so we're trained together for three or four years, and I grew up playing against Matt Brassard. After going through some medical testing, concussion protocols and getting fitted for gear (which was like Chritmas morning for all the guys!!), we took the bus to Whistler, BC, for the weekend. And I thought Vancouver was beautiful. Whistler is epic! The rugged backdrop is unlike anything I've ever seen and the village was hopping, as it was Canada Day. We had some more evaluations in the morning before taking part in a scavenger hunt. Divided into four teams of five or six guys, we had one hour to complete 26 tasks, with photo proof needed. The list had everything from milk a cow (real or fake) and hold a dog, to take a photo in a hot tub and give a piggyback ride to a tourist. I was not on the winning team, but we sure had a great time. This was exactly the type of fun activity we needed to take part in to get to know each other better. Saturday night we were on our own for dinner and we ate and explored the village more. It was early to bed after a tiring day - with another adventurous day on the horizon. Sunday we were on a bus at 10 am heading to Squamish area for some white-water rafting! What a thrill, it's tough to really describe what a rush it is. We had three boats, six or eight guys in each. Wetsuit, wet suit jacket, life jacket, booties and helmet, we were fully equipped. Paddle in hand - always hold the T grip - we were off down the rapids. I did some rafting like this three years ago in Ottawa, but this was a much different experience because of the scenery. I'd be gazing up at the mountains and we'd hit a class 3 or 4 rapid. That ice water hitting you snaps the daze away in a hurry! I was asked to write about 500 words and I'm at 522, so I'm signing off. Thanks for reading!

Blömqvist Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 What I like about Gadjovich on top of his maturity, dedication to the game, and how tough and physical he can play, is that he does possess skill and can play well with high offensive players like Nick Suzuki. With his size and physicality Gadjovich can create time and space for players like Suzuki and he also possesses the hands, shot, and net drive to score goals. As an aside, I'm looking forward to the draft+2 season (2018.19) for both Gadjovich and Lind, as they both would be 1st years in the AHL potentially the wingmen to Pettersson or Gaudette and with Juolevi and Chatfield on the backend. That would be great for their development -- to come up as a group -- and might actually be Benning's plan considering his most recent free agent signings.
