Rob_Zepp Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 This makes sense for the kid as he will likely get a chance to play right away versus waiting in minors in Vancouver or even New York. The problem he will have is whether he is surrounded by much of anything to help his development. I also worry that he was a one season wonder and came out of no where in rankings - think long-term Vancouver will be happier with Gaudette but who really knows.

sedinery55 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 We would have had a log jam at centre. Obviously, the kid wants to play, and I don't think the Canucks were going to guarantee him anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaku Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 FRIG. I definitely wanted to see Alex come to Vancouver. He's a good skater, and has offensive upside, would have added to the Canucks lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, onto signing Bo so we can start the year with a Killer B's line (Baer, Bo, Brock) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bissurnette Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Honestly think he made the wrong choice, and it's not because he didn't sign here. I actually don't feel like it's a big loss for us, we already have a ton of good forwards in the pipeline. He went with a team that's been bad for a while and in an unsteady situation. Maybe he's counting on Sakic getting the axe soon, but it's still uncertain on whether or not the team will be run properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhorvat Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I think for himself he made the right choice. He goes to a team where hes pretty much guaranteed a roster spot and can make mistakes and not have to worry about gettin sent down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Couldn't Linden get on the phone and do a better sell job than Burnaby Sell out Colorado Joe? Hope this turns out like when Iggy chose Avs over Van and Calgary and said "I feel I have a better chance to win here" For the record, I bet MG would have got him to sign here.

I understand the logic behind wanting an opportunity, but it's not like it's not there with VAN as well. You play well and earn your way into the line up- that's how it should be. Stetcher proved it.
