The alternative is he makes the team playing 6-10 minutes a game. Why would we limit his developmental ceiling like that ? how do you figure?

Viper007 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Who is Gaudette gonna beat out? Not EP, Not Horvat, Not Sutter, Not Beagle. Unless one of the last 2 are traded, Gaudette is going to the minors. People say he's earned to be here, but he's not a winger. He's a centre, and he has to beat out Sutter and Beagle. Considering it's not all about the offense on the 3rd and 4th lines, more about the 2 way play and faceoffs, I believe he needs to work on these still. The Canucks need centreman for the PK, and Sutter and Beagle fit that bill. Gaudette does not. I don't think they'll use Horvat on the PK, unless the PK starts to really struggle. Save him for offensive duties. Of course all of these can change with injuries. Ferland - Pettersson - Boeser/Leivo Baertschi - Horvat - Miller Leivo/Eriksson - Sutter - Pearson Eriksson - Beagle - Virtanen Edler - Myers Hughes - Tanev Benn - Stecher Markstrom Demko Extra: Biega, Fantenberg, Motte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL isn't ideal. @RonMexico There are countless examples in the NHL where hard work defeats skill that doesn't work hard. Where were you last post-season when CBJ swept TB? And that's just one. Many talented players are demoted to 3rd or 4th line while the lesser-skilled players are promoted because they worked harder than their more talented teammate.

The alternative is he makes the team playing 6-10 minutes a game. Why would we limit his developmental ceiling like that ? Gaudette is 22 years old, he's not an 18-20 years old. IMO he needs to play in the NHL right now and learn the NHL game. I've said for a while that Gaudette and Sutter should play together. Sutter would be a good mentor and teacher. On a 3rd line Gaudette would play 10-13 minutes, which IMO is better than playing 20 in an inferior level. Originally I've said put Sutter on Gaudette's wing, might help him stay healthy, but now I'd say use Gaudette at wing and give the defensive duties to Sutter while Gaudette can play a scoring role on that line. Gaudette provides a backup option in case Sutter gets injured.

Why in the hell would we put a guy (or guys) on waivers who might get claimed, and have performed better than Schaller and Loui? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd benefir far more from double the mins and being "THE" guy in Utica.......at least to start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t need to carry two extra D men this year with Juolevi, Teves, Rafferty, Brisebois and Sautner in Utica. Best young depth they’ve had in a long time. Keeping Eriksson for his penalty killing and streaky scoring may not be the best option. We have enough guys that can fill that role. And Schaller is just an easy choice. Hasn’t shown enough of anything to warrant a spot. He would just be taking away a spot from a more deserving call up like MacEwan. Having a skilled guy like Goldobin and an energy guy like Motte gives us good flexibility with the roster when injuries hit. Goldobin can continue to try and win Green over when he gets his chances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
