-Vintage Canuck- Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Quote Vancouver, BC - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has signed left wing Jonah Gadjovich to a three-year entry level contract. Gadjovich, 19, has appeared in eight games for Owen Sound in 2017.18, collecting nine points (5-4-9) and 11 penalty minutes. Over the course of four seasons in the OHL, the 6'2", 209-pound forward has accumulated 116 points (69-47-116) in 194 regular season games and nine points (5-4-9) in 26 playoff games with the Attack. He was named to the OHL Second All-Star Team in 2016.17 and was an OHL Gold Cup Champion in 2013.14. On the international stage, Gadjovich was added to Team Canada's roster at the 2017 World Junior Summer Showcase where he collected two points (1-1-2) in three games. Gadjovich was drafted by the Canucks in the second round, 55th overall, of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/vancouver-canucks-jonah-gadjovich/c-291983290 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BO_Scorvat Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Does this mean he's coming to play in the NHL? Or is he just getting a contract done early for next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks411 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 All entry level contracts are 2 way. So one would have to assume he's making the jump into the AHL for the time being? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some agreement between the leagues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stelar Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 This just means they have him signed. Doesn’t mean he is going to the AHL. He will still play the year in the OHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rocket Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I imagine this signing is because he is their closest prospect distance wise (like 6 hour drive from Ottawa?) so they can sign him and have him be the 13th forward without burning a year on his deal (unless he plays >9 games) Also, they don’t have to call up anyone from Utica this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is just them rewarding his play in the OHL, he gets a nice signing bonus. Positive reinforcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombieksa Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 He has to play OHL this year, will need to play NHL or OHL next year, no AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I hope every Canuck prospect develops and becomes a star... but this one would be extra sweet considering it's who we got with the Torts pick. We seriously deserve some good karma here. Too early to tell but could be a great pickup by uncle Jimbo at 55th overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be approved by the league I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure he'll be eligible for the AHL next season. From the agreement: Players drafted and playing for CHL teams are ineligible to play in the professional minor leagues (AHL, ECHL) until they are 20 years old (by December 31st of that year)He turns 20 on October 12.
