I agree with the possible exception of granny.. he has a reasonably well rounded game now, and can play up and down the lines on a weaker team like van.. decent depth guy I'd say 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Moreover teams are still very interested in Sutter who could be a nice piece of a move to land more picks for the Vancouver hosted draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not buy into the 'Sutter is an asset to be traded' section. We have a re-jigged roster. There are many, many question marks around goal scoring. ( forwards and d-men ) My opinion is that JB has decided on two shut down forward lines. If I'm correct, Sutter is going nowhere. It is for this same reason that I think that too many posters are not including Gaunce in our lineup. ( especially for home games ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to want what he does as a security blanket for all the kids (along with Beagle) and he has a full NTC. In 19/20 however his NTC becomes modified (15 team no trade list...almost as though this was planned with foresight or something from our 'bumbling' GM...hmmm). By the 2020 TDL, we likely have a pretty good idea of where we are at with Gaudette, Pettersson etc at C (and possibly another top C from the 2019 draft).

I could see a deal tho for sure with Sutter and a few teams actually. I'd like Gaudette to be on a line with him for most of the year for the experience.

I had not heard that rumour. I'm a tad gun shy when listening to rumours/ faux facts from our radio media. I no longer know who to trust. I only tune in to 650/ 1040 when I'm on the road ( couple of times a week ). Once again heard the classic 'if Demers had said okay, Gudbranson would be gone' ( from am650 1pm/ 1:30 pm show ). I'm pretty sure that Sutter would draw a ton of interest. He would be an asset on 31 teams ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed...and ironic but he also drafted him and I think he feels what the Pens were missing last year was someone like him (or Beagle to be honest).

RogersTowell Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I know some of you are a bit hesitant about Gaudette because he didn't put up the numbers in his short stint with us at the end of the season, however, I think he's going to be just fine in the longer term. He may or may not break in to the league right off the start of the season, but at worst, I expect he'll go down to Utica and work hard, improve his game and be ready by next year (or possibly later in the season this year). He's come a long way since his draft year and he's close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gaudette Celly Posted August 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2018 Fact -- if Boucher could one-time or merely hit an open net, Gaudette would have had at least 2-3 points and there wouldn't be all this "zero production" and "start him in Utica" talk. What's most likely is that the ones calling for that never actually watched him play in college. He's not just a scorer either, but fast, gritty, and a very good two-way player. He saw in 5 games what it takes to be an NHL player, and is being seriously under-rated here. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe! Once they see what they've got with the kids after a full year, considering all the injuries that the Canucks get in each and every year too. I think the kids, Gaudette, and Pettersson, will get NHL ice time, and lots of it. Sutter might give them a chance to move up a spot or three. Plus, by the trade deadline, I'm sure we'll see plenty of Dahlen, Palmu, Jasek, Gaunce, Motte, and Leipsic. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
