Gaudette making it hard to cut him. Tossing out the idea, I think we'd have to cut like 4 waiver eligible guys to keep him around.
Baertschi - Horvat - Miller
Ferland - Pettersson - Boeser
Pearson - Sutter - Gaudette
Motte - Beagle - Virtanen
2 of:
(Schaller, Goldobin, Leivo, Eriksson)
Maybe get some value in a trade for someone.
Stream on Canucks website apparently.
Looks like Gaudette is being given every chance. Our possible 1st and 3rd lines in this one and our top 4 D. I expect a good one.
What a wonderful schlacking of the Oilers. Gaudette making it difficult to cut him. Eriksson showing some of what he used to be. I have Leivo slowly being pushed out as other guys do well.
Baertschi - Horvat - Miller
Ferland - Pettersson - Boeser
Pearson - Sutter - Eriksson
Motte - Beagle - Virtanen
Gaudette
That leavs out Leivo, Goldobin, Schaller. Tough decisions coming.
Good cuts, expected. Lind is higher on the depth chart than Gadj is all I take from that.
As for the 31 thoughts bit, if it's not Jake or Goldy then Motte/Leivo/Schaller? Says 4 or 5 guys being shopped, I'm thinking they're all forwards. No one would touch Eriksson.
Ya, I like those ideas. I set the lineup that way as Petey/Ferland/Boucher has been a consistent practice line as has Sutter/MacEwen/Pearson. Gaudette/Goldobin/Virtanen played last night so stuck em together figuring a lesser assignment.
We'll see what the lineup ends up being.
Shocking to see some people defending Boes's agent. Term, $, NTC, the guy didn't land any of these metrics. They settled for a worse contract than was initially offered after waiting the entire summer. The agent then leaks this info on the radio. He also talk about getting into an argument with Boeser when he (agent) was attending the Vikings game. Priorities man.
Boeser, can your agent.
Ok, a working list of those who didn't play tonight that will probably play tomorrow:
Pettersson, Hughes, Myers, Edler, Markstrom, Demko, Sutter, Pearson
who else you guys got?
Well, I was thoroughly entertained. The televised game was a bust until the last 5, then it got really interesting. Jake with the comeback in CGY, awesome!
Oooof. That @ Calgary roster is brutal. I expected a majority of the vets to stay in Victoria but damn, that's awful. Good luck to Kielly/Bachman they're going get shelled.
It's the Calgary-bound group practicing right now, so we won't know the other squad just yet.
We'll only get radio for the game in Calgary.
The game at home (Victoria) will be on SNET.

Apparently the practice groups weren't indications of lineups TG was going to use. He said something to that effect in the day 3 presser. So, it's a total guess as to who is playing where!
I guess I didn't look at his numbers when we signed him but those are impressive. He's got a lot of games under his belt and is good for 20 points a season. Relatively cheap for a solid 4-5.
