VegasCanuck Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Gaudette spending a couple of weeks in Utica, playing top line minutes, is not necessarily a bad thing. I'd rather do that instead of having him alternate sitting in the press box. Completely good with the team deciding to make a statement by waiving Eriksson for the purposes of assigning to Utica. I'm pretty sure that they have exhausted options to trade him, might as well get him some playing time. Maybe a team will be badly hit by the injury bug and will agree to accept him on trade with 2 million retained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCE Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 With Eriksonn contract I would look at something like To NSH Sutter,Leivo & Eriksson To Van Turris & 3rd rd 2020 or Turris, Watson & 5th rd 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turris, Fabbro, Johansen, sissons, hamhuis, Irwin.. bunch of BC boys! My money is on Turris, Fabbro and Johansen being close teammates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 With the team playing well, JB has plenty of options and time. Can continue to work the trade market, and should be able to figure out something before Roussel returns. Of course, the reality of injuries is never far off either, but nothing drastic needs to be done, at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I can see them sending Gaudette back to Utica, to play a lot of minutes. With Motte now back, and Eriksson sitting upstairs gathering cobwebs, the Canucks are wasting Gaudette sitting in the press box. I'm okay with this move, he can't be claimed. Utica is going to kick some butt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when the Weber Hamhuis pairing was actually a legit pairing, back when the Weber was Shea and not Yannick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps Baertschi or Goldobin have been traded to an offensively starved team. If the Canucks acquire an NHL roster player that must clear waivers, then that would require some maneuvering. I ah... totally forgot about Goldy and Baer.. #sorrynotsorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sissons or Jarnkrok can also play that C shutdown role. They want 3 scoring lines and Poile was talking about how they have that with Johansen, Duchene and Turris. Turris has also been playing well for them this year now that he is finally healthy. Nashville talks of P60 and Leivo ranks 294th among Fs with 40 games and more for his time in Vancouver. He hasn't been particularly efficient in the offensive role he received. He was playing top-6 with the team's best players and PP1 and his production just matched Virtanen's who did not get the same advantageous deployment. Nashville is a pretty soft team and Watson brings needed toughness. Laviolette trusts him in key defensive situations and he can produce in that role. Eriksson/Sutter don't bring any physicality and meanness. There's also a lack of speed and Poile thinks speed is the most important skill. Nashville will also be trying to clear cap space as they want to sign Josi - they would be adding more than 4M over what they are moving out. They also have prospects pushing for spots and are an ageing team that needs to also bring in some youth and not add +30 year old players.

If Lucic's contract was retained again so he was only a 1.5-2m cap hit I would too. Then I'd waive him and only .5-1m against the cap would be there. That's about the only way I'd do that one. Lucic is garbage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) Quote 3. The Canucks are unbeaten since Bo Horvat was named captain, and, in a huge turnaround, trail only Carolina and Nashville for goals by defencemen. Troy Stecher’s ice-time was down from 19:55 in 2018–19 to 13:58 in the first four games of 2019–20. There were rumblings that the Canucks would look to move him for a prospect or a draft pick to ease their cap crunch — but that was denied. Stecher scored his first of the year Tuesday night against Detroit. His ice time was a slightly deceiving 12:16 as he missed the last six minutes due to a misconduct. https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/31-thoughts-taylor-hall-contract-status-looms-slow-starting-devils/ Stecher is a guy to keep an eye on this year. Baumer doesn't seem to like to use him very much, beyond the injuries last year, Baumer used Stecher sparingly and considering that he doesn't play any special teams, they may be looking to find an upgrade over him. Carrying a 2.3 mil cap hit and heading to RFA with arb rights, they may take same approach they did with Ben Hutton.

He's not getting PP time and probably seldom PK time as well. So it's just 5v5 deployment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
