Canada Hockey Place Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I don't mind him. He's a versatile player. A year younger than Sutter. Signed until he's 29. FA signing/no picks lost. Cap hit probably about equal to Baertschi/ Granlund next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhorvat Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I agree, as i fan knowing that were going to be bottom feeders again. I dont want to watch the Gagners, Vaneks, Eriksson etc. Goldobin now has 7 goals in 7games with Utica, dating back from last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckylager Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I said it when we signed him Gagne me with a spoon. My feelings haven't changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we want to see our younger player. you do need a few veterans tho.... i mean look at TO, its not an accident they went out to get Marleau. So we're a bottom 1/3 team so we get Gagner for Jake to learn with. Its fine for what it is. Vanek tho.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SG's ok, not sure why you'd think he is a skating liability. But yah the twins and Vanek, I'd agree there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6string Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 What would be the teams expectations from Erikkson, Vanek and Gagner in goal production I wonder? At this rate 45 goals between them would be a tall order! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Granny Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Just watched Gagner's highlights with Columbus last year. Looks like he scored most of his points as a center. Only saw one instance where he was used on the point on the PP (which is how Brown is using him). A lot of his goals were from tip-ins from the high slot, or down low plays behind and around the net. Like others on the team (Stecher, Louie, Granlund) I think he's not being deployed properly. I'd try him at center if you're looking for him to generate offense.

coastal.view Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 hey the team knew what he was all about when he was signed he was given a very special role on his previous team last season's game tapes can be further reviewed if there is any mystery about how best to deploy him he wants a larger role, which is why he was signed here, but he needs to be productive first i wonder whether he is a bit of a square peg being forced into a round hole why sign him if he was not going to be used in the way he was so recently successful? i think he is useful if used in the best way for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Reid Boucher has 6 points in 4 AHL games. Goldobin has 5 points in 4 games. I hope Green keeps the veterans on a short leash. The Sedins, Vanek, Eriksson and Gagner are 5 potential dead weights for this team. If they don't play with enough energy and enthusiasm that the kids in Utica would play with, they deserve to sit. I like what some of the veterans bring and we certainly need their good defence, game management, board battles and net-front presences, but Boucher and Goldobin deserve a crack, especially if someone like Gagner, who was brought in to help the PP and score 30-40 points, is invisible most nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
