I think Pettersson is the better candidate to become our Pavel D. Wrong what I can tell and what I've heard, Gaudette is much of a "meat and potatoes" type of player.

I predict Gaudette is more closer to Kesler...Gaudette will not be as dirty as keeler but will be as skilled.. Gaudette now 21 will be a 19-25 goal guy 55-63 point guy in his prime at 25 years old.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My though is that Pettersson will start the season up, but the rest of the prospects will start down for a month or 2 until trades are found, or injuries start to force Benning's hand. My prediction is though that Gaudette will play well down there, as well as Dahlen, Juolevi, and Demko, all who will be playing in the NHL by the end of the season...……. I do not have too much concern about those guys.....my interests are in Briseboise, Sautner, McEneny, and Lind to see if they push at all....we will see.....it will be fun! Spot on. Once management has a roster in mind, the 'bigger picture' comes into play. Asset management. If you can bypass waivers, chances are you'll be in Utica. Management will then ( my opinion ) make a 10/ 20/ 30 game window to push the roster into it's desired shape.

RakuRaku Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Gaudette is definitely ready for the NHL!! Let's hope JB finds a way to move either Gagner or Goldobin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Gaudette and Dahlen I definitely agree. I think Palmu and Jasek will soon prove to be better players than Leipsic. (I don’t know why, but I don’t like The Liper?)

Might be out to lunch but I thought he played kinda high in the neutral zone looking for a quick break. He was caught a couple of times. Also didn't see a lot of that fiestiness that he was supposed to have. Hope he has a good camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contrary to most ppl's argument, I find Gagner still serviceable compared to Loui's production and fat pay cheque! I like Goldy's slicky style but he just seems so inconsistent...

Gaudette and Dahlen are pretty much locks, at some point. After that, IMHO...Baer, Goldobin, Granlund, Gagner and Leipsic. Just not sold on Leipsic; not like he cost us a bunch so I wouldn't be in the slightest upset to lose him. Gagner, Granlund and Goldobin, I'm thinking 2 of the three will be made available at some point during the year...including during training camp. I've always liked Baer, but I do agree with several posters, he needs to step up to his contract this year and at least get between 20-25g. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK_19 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 People keep saying that the new signings (Beagle, Roussel, Schaller) don't interfere with spots with our prospects but I beg to differ. If Horvat, Petterson, Sutter, and Beagle are all long term centres, where is there room for Gaudette? The only option I see is if Pettersson is moved to the wing in favour of Gaudette.

In a couple years (or sooner) when Gaudette is ensconced at 3C, Sutter goes to the wing or could even be flipped for assets. By that time, Beagle will also be half or more through his contract and could also be moved. Having plenty of centres is never a bad thing, especially with different handedness for taking draws in different situations. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said that Sutter and Beagle are long-term centers? You heard the Canuck GM say he will move out veterans if the younger players earn those spots so just because someone has contract term doesn't mean they are still with the team. Further, you need at least five or six NHL calibre C ice men to get through a season....today's average NHL games per player is approximately 68 to 72. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is set in stone. Things can change on a dime. If Gaudette proves to be a better option at centre it isn't hard to give him a spot. He won't be fighting Beagle for 4th line C. He won't be fighting Horvat for 1 C. Sutter is a shut down C and likely Gaudette won't fight for that. It depends on how long Petterson takes to get used to the NHL and to play C. And some playoff teams this year had 9 centres in their 12 forward group. No one took Gaudette's spot. If he plays well he plays on the team. Simple concept. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
