Wilbur Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 52 minutes ago, TheGuardian_ said: Talked about going specifically to NW because it is close to home. Talked about the "team" as we a lot and said their goals were the bean pot and winning the final four. Go one so far only one more to get. Said he MIGHT come to Vancouver this year, depends on final four. That's the big one, if he goes back next year he is a FA at the end. We worried about that with Boeser and nothing came of it but his kid sounds different. That quoted had a beginning and an end to it that isn't there. You will pretty much never hear a NCAA player say "When I'm done, I am 100% going to play for this team" for fear of bringing on an investigation to see if he's getting perks while playing NCAA. They've always had to choose their language carefully for that reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted February 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2018 Yeah, Gaudette doesn't seem like the type of lad who'd make a statement like the one today and then somehow get talked into holding out by his agent. He's being about as clear on the matter as he can. He's committed to Vancouver. All the other teams had a chance and passed on him. The Canucks picked him. That means something to Gaudette. He specifically talks about loyalty and repaying the teams that believed in him. Sure it's possible that he decides to go back for a senior year. But if he chose that route, it wouldn't be to setup a pathway to free agency. It would be about what he and his advisors felt was best for his development. And also giving Northeastern another kick at the can as far as winning a Hockey East title and a National Championship. But given everything he's said, there's no reason not to believe that he will start his pro career with Vancouver (so long as the Canucks offer him a deal--which seems all but guaranteed). Honestly, I don't think I've ever read a midseason statement from a college kid that gave a stronger and clearer indication of his intentions and level of commitment to his draft team. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he comes out this year, once his season in college is over, he burns a full year off his elc. He will be on to his second contract, when the rest of his grad class is just starting their elc’s. Coming out early gets guys to their big contracts in their primes, so they actually make a lot more money. Staying the full four years would cost a guy like Gaudette millions. He’s coming out this year, and will be a regular on our team by Christmas 2018. He’s already better than several of our forwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you hear the interview? the conviction in the voice when talking about the bean pot and final four? If his season goes late he wont be with the Canucks towards the end of the season. If there out early then he will sign it is simple as that. There is a 0% chance he pulls a Vesey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobi Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Gaudette in a previous interview pretty much said that the Canucks believed in him and he is looking forward to sign with the Canucks. Straight from the horse's mouth. I don't know how much clearer he has to be. Personally, i am not worried at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TL also talked about again dipping into the FA pool this summer. Losing the Sedins and adding EP/Gaudette is going to make a huge difference in how this team plays, just the speed and pace alone. I think the sedins are back though, I really do. So it will be a super interesting TDL and summer for us once again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dowd? archibald? I imagine that 1 of those 5 will be carried as an extra and the others in Utica. The only exception is Goldobin will probably get claimed if we try to send him to Utica, so I can see them trying to make room on the roster for him (maybe trade grandlund?) edit: also just realized that boucher, dowd, and archibald are all ufa’s after this year. We probably won’t see all of them back on the team Yea nice crack at it. the only UFA Forward I think our team would truly be interested in is Evander Kane i think the sedins will be back. vanek will not be resigned. i think Gaudette and Pettersson will have every chance and opportunity to make the team. Gagner, Eriksson, Granlund make it a little tricky.. my crack at a line up: Top Line: Kane-Horvat-Boeser Baerstchi-Gaudette-Virtanen Sedin-Sedin-Pettersson Checking Line: Gaunce-Sutter-Granlund Gagner or Granlund would have to be traded Eriksson gots to go, I don't care how just gots to go Vanek no room to resign even though I love what he brings Can shuffle guys around, goldobin first call up I guess unless we trade him, or he makes the team pushing someone else down hope we resign Archie and use him as a call up or guy for physical games or injury replacements I like the guy think we need to sign Gaudette as soon as possible and get him in some games. Want to see him take Dowds spot and play with Virtanen. Get a good taste of the NHL the practices, the travel, the professionalism, th and physicality then have a big offseason preparing and be ready to go with another strong camp and be an impact player for us next season.

Another solid reason is always the caution that your next shift can always be your last in hockey. Career ending injury is always a risk and signing as quickly as possible makes sense. The opportunity for Gaudette in Vancouver is huge compared to most orgs. He will sign in March. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots can change though based on or deadline deals and draft position / performance If we re-sign the twins (which I prefer we didn't but agree is likely), I agree, there's simply no room for Vanek. Sorry, neither Eriksson or Gagner are going anywhere though Baer, Horvat, Boeser Sedin, Sedin, Pettersson: Eriksson, Sutter, Granlund Gaunce, Gaudette, Virtanen Gagner (subs in for Pettersson, Virt, Gaunce etc as needed). Though obviously guys will shuffle around (particularly on W). Without the twins I'd far prefer to see something like: Baer, Horvat, Boeser Kane, Sutter, Granlund (fast/hard match up line with offense) Erikssson, Gaudette, Pettersson (give them the twins sheltered o zone starts, Eriksson gives them a solid 2 way vet etc) Gaunce, Dowd/MacEwan/UFA etc, Virtanen (solid depth checking/counter punch line) Gagner (subs in for Pettersson, Virt, Gaunce etc as needed). And again, guys will clearly shuffle around on W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is admirable I never said it wasn't, I didn't even hint it wasn't, I simply commented upon him and his coaches saying he might not come this year and what the ramifications of that will mean, not what he will do, or think or what I think. But the group of 12 decided to put words to my post that I didn't post. They must be worried. Those act like children playing hide and seek who put their hands over their eyes and say "you can't see me now". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 This tweet really makes me love this kid! Like come on.. what else can u ask for? A Hobby Baker award? Gaudette.. I'm on it .
