Kanukfanatic Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 2 hours ago, Dixon Ward said: You are comparing Madden's Sophomore season to Gaudette's Junior season. Gaudette's Sophomore was 52 pts in 37 games. This is 1.405P/GP so Madden is actually ahead of Gaudette at this stage in his career. Albeit a very small amount. Thanks for the correction.

It was Jim Benning that promoted him to director of amateur scouting replacing the departed Eric Crawford. Happened around the same time that Gilman was replaced by Weisbrod as AGM. No doubt, I was responding to this post, he was promoted because he was there already Quote this guy is a gem and JB went and got him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kootenay Gold Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Dats hockey was in error with his statement that JB went and got him; this is true. I was merely pointing out that J Benning saw J Brackett's potential abilities and moved him up; not Gillis.

Dixon Ward Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Boeser, Gaudette, Stecher, Madden, Rafferty, Rathbone, and McDonough. JB and his crew have done very well with the US College ranks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred65 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 How about Steve Kariya = Madden. Played in Hockey East, same size, same stats, lets hope it's not the same ending. www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=27639 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch Madden play it's an absolute treat, im not gonna make any comparisons because everyone is their own player but his tool kit is definitely exciting. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he would've flourished more in the league today where many more smaller players are finding success. If a "listed" 5'8 Kariya is the same size as 5'11 Madden, then Madden is the same size as a 6'2 player? Plus one is a winger and the other is a center. Why not compare Madden to Gaudreau instead who is a smaller player (similar to Kariya if they are considered comparable) putting up similar numbers as 19 year olds and also playing in Hockey East? Doesn't fit the narrative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched Rafferty last season, saw some thing I liked and gave praise then and since. I tend to believe he has a real chnace of enjoying success and I've posted to that effect continuously since the end of last season. Regretfully it apparently doesn't go down with the OJ brigade, the effrontery to like some one more than Superman himself Mr Juolevi does not sit well, but hey what can you do, call it like you see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafferty being about 3 years older helps for sure, hopefully he gets some games with van but if we are in a race for playoffs that may not happen, which isn't a bad thing.

We may never know had he not have been of the staff already Benning may never of heard of the guy, then what I enjoyed this article about Brackett and had never seen it before https://montrealgazette.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/q-a-with-canucks-scouting-director-judd-brackett/wcm/17b7987a-0ed1-44bb-afe0-1a9d48fde782 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was always listed at 5’6’ or 5’7”. That DB site always changes players heights. I remember watching him play and he looked like Cliff Ronning.
