Canucks are also playing NJD, NYI, NYR and PIT so they probably also have their scouts present ahead of the games. good point, but its also good exposure. My preference is for Jim to make a really solid offer to re-sign Guddy, but we'll see. Ottawa makes a lot of sense to me for him to end up but they may not want to send all their best prospects here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the team comes out and plays tonight will be a true indication of how tight the team is or how fragmented it is. Losing a player who plays for the team and wears his heart on his sleeve like Dorsett does, is a pretty big blow. If others with the propensity for physical play don't show up, it will be indicative of where their heads are at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 1 hour ago, PhillipBlunt said: Unless he's already stated to Benning that he's not interested in re-signing with the Canucks, it would be a mistake to preemptively trade Gudbranson. If 15 teams are there for Gudbranson, it shows how valuable teams find him to be still, regardless of calculator jockeys. amen brotha. I still honestly believe he hasn't been used effectively with the right partner. He was absolutely solid playing beside Del Zotto, and even Del Zotto's game seemed to benefit beside Guddy. However, Guddy has been delegated to babysitting of Ben Hutton, who plays like such a loose cannon, Guddy gets exposed trying to compensate. Numbers are just numbers, Guddy brings things that only Derek Dorsett brings, and at this point without Dorsett, losing Gudbranson would cripple the team's confidence in many ways more than one.

However, Guddy has been delegated to babysitting of Ben Hutton, who plays like such a loose cannon, Guddy gets exposed trying to compensate. Same here. Del Zotto and Gudbranson was the best pairing for the first ten games. They played extremely well off of each other and were a huge part of why the Canucks had one of the lowest GAA during that timeframe. I'd like to see that pairing back together with Tanev babysitting Edler and Stecher and Pouliot together, which also looked really good earlier in the year. Hutton offers nothing that the other six aforementioned don't already have. Time to move on. Just now, CRAZY_4_NAZZY said: Numbers are just numbers, Guddy brings things that only Derek Dorsett brings, and at this point without Dorsett, losing Gudbranson would cripple the team's confidence in many ways more than one. Very true. Analytics serve well as a tool, that can be used in conjunction with experience. They do miss a huge amount of vital information that only experience in managing, coaching, and/or playing provides. The Canucks have been a team with the reputation for being easy to push around, and teams have taken advantage of this and got them off their game. This, in turn, has affected the outcome of games, many games. But the number junkies can't quantify it, so they just ignore it. Guddy needs to bring it tonight. Make his presence felt. If Guddy isn't signed because he doesn't want to play here, I fully support Benning trading him. If he is interested and gives Benning first crack, I hope Benning signs him within the realm of reason. This team needs youth, scoring, and skill. It also needs presence.

Bo fan Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I think losing Dorcett is going to leave a hole in this team - he seems to get the guys going. Wish him well and really hope the guys come out hard for him tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
