VegasCanuck Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Its funny watching how many people are worried about an expansion draft for Seattle. Although I'd be completely shocked if Seattle didn't get a team at this point, you can't run the franchise right now, based on something that may (likely) happen down the road. There's plenty of time to prepare for that, once they have actually been awarded a franchise. Until then, full speed ahead on developing good new, young talent. Again, I think it can be considered a given that Seattle will get a team, but there's a lot up in the air still on which season they will be able to begin operations for. They have to finish their review with the league (personally I think will be done in time for a vote around the draft), and they have to finish their building, which could be longer than anyone is expecting. Their arena is supposed to be ready for Oct 2020, but they are really just beginning construction, timelines can change a lot. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Gaudette appears in an NHL game, he will be ineligible to play for the Comets this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep otherwise who would we pair him with, Gud or Stetcher. Even if we don't get him then who does Ollie pair with Gud lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appleboy Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Gaudette seems like a bright young man. He should do well in this fish bowl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollieo Del Fuego Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 AG just has to, learn how to ignore the reffing, the travel, the media....and most of the rest of us...! ...and of course be satisfied with never winning the Cup....you Bett man....! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his deal it is now a full NTC for 2 years, then a modified NTC (15 team list) for the last two. He's going to be on the Seattle exposed list for sure if he's still here, but I could also see a trade being possible if he doesn't want to end up in Seattle and wants to pick a new spot to go to. But he may be just fine with Seattle too. He'd be a great player for an expansion team. He could pass on defensive skills to the younger guys, and his actual salary will be lower than his cap hit, thats pretty much ideal for an expansion club. When I refferred to LE needing to be protected I meant in the Las Vegas expansion draft. I know he doesn’t need to be for the seattle one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanev needs to be sent out to add more to the youth movement. Tanev is a great player, but a little too fragile for our team ATM. Guddy needs his own sheltering. Without Edler, Guddy has looked pretty not so goody. And without Tanev Canucks haven't been goody at all either. He tried to do that with Hutton, how'd that turn out.

I’m just looking forward to people meme-ing it up with quotes from Good Will Hunting, Boondock Saints, The Departed, and pretty much any movie where the Boston accent features prominently. Gaudette makes a good play: ”My boy’s wicked smaht.” Scores a couple assists: ”How do you like them apples.” Gets into a scrum/fight: “Just because you play a tough guy doesn’t mean you are one, you lace curtain Irish ****!” 3 2 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, if we get Dahlin.... think he might be the skilled d man that brings out the best in guys like Guddy and Edler. Joulevi is also on tap. It is conceivable that if we do ‘win’ the losers lotto, that our defence will be entirely different next season and that there may be enough skill to support moving Tanev out for more youth coming in. Its less about what we have and more about what others may want. Tanev is the only asset we have that has decent value and isn’t young. He could get a valuable price in a package to a team that wants to win now vs is, build for the future. Toronto, Edmonton, NYI, LA, Wash etc. EmW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
