Pete M Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 9 hours ago, Ghostsof1915 said: I said at the beginning of the season if Brock got 10-15 goals, and 20 points I'd be happy. He basically more than doubled my expectations, and who knows where he'd be if he didn't injure his back. So as long as Gaudette gets 10 to 15 goals, and 20-30 points I'm quite fine with that in his rookie season. Of course if he scores more....nothing wrong with that either. ...considering Sutter has 8 goals 11 assists = 19 pts in 54 games @ $4.3M a year, and LE has 10 goals 13 assists in 50 games....he would be a good deal with 30 pts and 10 goals. No brainer him making this team considering this team is really bad. Seems criminal for an expansion team to be allowed to take from the bottom 3 teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuardian_ Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I thought Linden/Benning said he was coming? Or did they change what they said again? 1 hour ago, Hugor Hill said: Just to clarify how this terminology works in the US: freshman = 1st year sophomore = 2nd year junior = 3rd year senior = 4th year So Gaudette is a junior, correct? 1 hour ago, Canuckster86 said: Just finished his Junior year yup One more year and he is a FA and can sign with Boston, almost his home town and a cup contender that has their farm team 34 miles away. 20 miles away from home.

Hope we place him in Boesers spot for the rest of the year lol. Kids got filthy hands, dazzling speed and a wicked shot. If he can keep his swagger at the NHL level... He looks like a top 6 or top 7 forward too me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, the flip side of that is he has said more than once he feels a loyalty to the team that drafted him and he also has more opportunity as a player with us. He's not going to be taking a job from their current C depth or top 6 for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will play on this team for sure on tuesday and Gaudette will look good.... He will start next year playing centre on 3rd line.... The young man will be better then Kesler.... We need his, great skill, gritty play, 200 foot game, speed.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn1 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) I have high hopes for Adam but the NHL is far different than NCAA. He won't have the time and space he enjoys at the University level. I just want to be careful not to expect too much to start and be surprised if he excels right away. Edited March 25, 2018 by dpn1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make up for him losing out with his college. Is it too late to qualify for the AHL playoffs? If so then bring him up here. i agree. uttica would be best for him and the team. the only ones it won't sit well with, are the fans who want to see him now. he might give the canucks, a bit of a lift, but what is the point? in utica he is playing for something important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids are getting big contracts off just 1 ELC year so with us he'll have far more opportunity than with Boston imo. But who knows, if thats what he and his family decide today then there isn't much to be done about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not going to be taking a job from their current C depth or top 6 for that matter. Yes he has stated that about loyalty. But he did turn down a full scholarship to play close to home. Maybe his people try to talk the Nucks into a trade. It would probably be delayed until draft day as it would be bad news now. Then again he might not mind going to Utica, it is closer. At anyway right now he will be emotionally drained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuardian_ Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Me? Okay how about the Canucks? (Gaudette’s) very excited about beginning a pro career. I think that’s a safe bet, but yo know, other things have happened before. – Judd Brackett I would say that is not a guarantee. He is likely to come but after Vesey, anything can happen.

86Viking Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I am sure there will be talk about Gaudette during the Canucks game today. Sikura is in his last year of College and is apparently going to talk and maybe sign with Chicago soon. So should be interesting to see which player signs first, there isn't much to complicate things here. Adam can: 1. Sign an NHL deal, get a signing bonus? 2. Go back to school hope to stay healthy, play well and sign wherever he wants 3. Sign an AHL deal and go to Utica To me its a no brainer, you grow up your whole life wanting to be an NHL player, today you have that opportunity...pen to paper dream almost complete...Fly to Van and play in their next home game!

I guess I should have posted, he is signing here immediately and leading the team to the cup, his presence will lead the team over the funk and they will win all the games he plays in the remainder of the season. The rebuild is done once Gaudette signs guaranteed, no doubt about it, he will be here in 24 hours. He is the next Kesler. He is a guaranteed 2nd liner. He will win almost all his faceoffs. Judd Brakett doesn't know what he is talking about. Benning doesn't know what he is talking about, both have stated some doubt about him signing for this year, but they are stupid, Gaudette is coming for sure. How is that, cheer leader enough? Would hate to speculate that there could be other options for him based on his past attitudes and actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It dies off pretty quick when no one gives it attention. Adams been on the radio numerous times and said he wants to play for Vancouver because we believed in him. He will sign and naysayers will be silenced. Just let it go. It's all good we know he's coming. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is stirring the bucket, There signing the contract as we talk now...He will be at the game tonight and Adam will play his first game Tuesday against the Ducks and Kesler.... Great draft pick Jim Benning... Thanks for taking Gaudette in 5th round...He will show the draft that he should of been a top 40.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
