Woooo-Hughes....! I think if you put Dahlen in as a lock, you have to put Jasek in the conversation too. He's really showing a solid game. His offensive numbers are not that different from Dahlens except Jasek looks to be more dependable in the two-way game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will leave him in Utica if Sutter or Beagle aren't traded. I really do think Chatfield has a very solid chance to steal a spot assuming we trade a RD such as Guddy or Tanev and don't sign a guy like Myers I think Gaudette can play wing better than Schaller right now...and Chatfield has been one of my favourites since the Memorial Cup he shown in...! Over the next 2-3 years we are going to have a very different team ....and it is already looking pretty darn good...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id agree with this if Juolevi wasn't coming off of injury. I still think he has a chance to crack the team but I cant see the Canucks going with two LD rookies at the start. Hughes is elite, he will make some bad mistakes but he'll learn from those and be a great offensive threat moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make him an NHL C spot or leave him in Utica for injury callups. I know this season isn't over yet, but next years training camp could be one of the most entertaining ones in Canucks history.

I expect the d corps to look very much like it does this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe McEwen. And I still think Jasek is closer than Dahlen. But Jasek doesn't develop as high as Dahlen. And I wasn't counting Demko so maybe 5.

kenhodgejr Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Group 1 (locks) Hughes Gaudette Demko Juolevi Group 2 I would expect these three to go back to Utica next season and dominate. Dahlen Jassek MacEwen Group 3 This group all needs a couple seasons in the AHL Madden Rathbone Lockwood Dipietro Woo Lind Gadjovich Palmu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahlen Jassek MacEwen Group 3 This group all needs a couple seasons in the AHL Madden Rathbone Lockwood Dipietro Woo Lind Gadjovich Palmu I think Juolevi will be in Utica until Christmas or an injury makes a spot for him. Barring a great camp of course, but all the time off will have him catching up to others somewhat. Agree with your group two. Jasek in particular I can see being asked to step up and become a leader for Utica's forward group. He's improved through each of his pro years in spite of limited play time so I think the best thing for him right now is to earn lots of minutes from Cull over another season or two. All the guys in group two should see some games by next year. Group three... Woo is ineligible for the AHL next year so it's Jr or NHL. Give him his 9 games if he has an unbelievable camp then send him down for world juniors and a season as #1 D for his team. Madden needs another season in college. Maybe two. His speed and skill are NHL level but he needs the time in the gym to add strength naturally. (See his OT winner last night? ) Rathbone could probably turn pro next year. There would certainly be a spot especially if we see some more turnover on Utica's blueline, whether from graduating 1 or 2 of Juolevi, McEneny, Sautner, Chatfield or some of the vets moving on. He also could benefit from one more college season being the go to guy at Harvard with Adam Fox gone. Whichever route these guys take it's nice to see there might be nearly 10 NHL level guys here within the next 2-3 seasons. That's nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt that ever happens or it wont stick. Gaudette's played centre all his life. If he does play wing, its going to be on the PP. I think it was Benning or someone else just recently went on the playbook saying Gaudette is going to stay a exclusively a centre since he rarely if at all plays wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Benning trades Beagle anyway ...he is perfect for 4th line duty and PK.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutter and Erckkson disappear all to often ...sometimes for games on end...and then there's Pooalot who shows up all the time...like in the "NHL's Best" 50 plays of the year...he was in 3 of the top 50 plays...but of course, for all the wrong reasons...! I am hoping they can entice a team to take Erikkson off our hands if we trade them Edler or Tanev or Goldy, etc.,...but I doubt it happens.

dpn1 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I think there maybe a chance Madden could bypass Gaudette. Starting on the 4th line at centre was what Bo did so I don't think Madden or Gaudette would suffer too much on the 4th line., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
