R3aL Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I know he’s young but gaud did he look good last night! He is really getting up to speed and it’s hard not imagine that he won’t take a big step next year in overall play,m and consistency hes is going to be up to speed and have a full summer of training and the competitive fuel of Bo Elias and Brock all pushing to become better. He wants to be a core piece and considered in the same tier as them well as bo and Brock haha really excited for this kid and I love his energy! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) On 2/13/2019 at 5:44 PM, The Great Canucks said: Umm, no, Sutter is not mediocre. He is a lot better than you haters love to tell yourselves. Gaudette is not replacing Sutter. Until he proves he can, Sutter stays. I think the truth is we don't know if Sutter will be traded or not. Sutter is a good player and brings value to a team that is looking to do a playoff run. That being said, we might want him if we feel we have a chance at the playoffs. It's two-fold really. But claiming he wont' be traded at all? Are you really that confident with that? Are you saying that if we don't get a nice enough offer we wouldn't take it? Think about what you are saying here. And, just as a general statement, anyone who says we should trade him because he doesn't give us value or another team value is seriously contradicting themselves since a trade is about trading something that other teams want. If he wasn't useful then why would another team want him to begin with? Some people just baffle me with their "logic". lol Edited February 15, 2019 by The Lock 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SingleThorn Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) Thought Gaudette had to be 'papered' down to Utica today, to be eligible for a Calder cup run. Only MacEwen and Mazanec are listed. (.......and no Schenn ) Edit:......or Sautner Edited February 25, 2019 by SingleThorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see what Green says. I wouldn't be surprised if he can beat at least one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with Edler back this still leaves us with 7 D. I don't think Benning will send down Sautner at this point. He'll probably rotate with Pouliot and Biega. Schenn seems like a lock on the right side for now with Tanev out. EDIT: With the arrival of Hughes that will change things. When Hughes comes Sautner will most likely go down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Canucks are out and Comets are in, seems that Gaudette would benefit from having the option to play for Utica.

Boudrias Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Gaudette has to be able to play Calder playoffs is the bottom line. Failing to paper him down is a huge mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 4 hours ago, Boudrias said: Gaudette has to be able to play Calder playoffs is the bottom line. Failing to paper him down is a huge mistake. The only explanation I can think of is that the Canucks, internally, know that Sutter is going to be shut down for the rest of the season and with the amount of games Gaudette has played (after coming from the NCAA, which has a lighter schedule), they want Gaudette to rest/train with the eye of him becoming the full time 3C in the Fall. That and they only have 4 recalls and have already used 2 (Sautner got papered & Brisebois just got recalled)... so maybe they're worried they'll have to use another callup in the event another defenseman has to get recalled because of injury? It's a bit puzzling, honestly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Hockey Gaud is clearly an NHL player. Would Pettersson be eligible for the Comet's playoffs? No point in risking Gaudette to injury and extending an already long season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you suggesting Pettersson get risked to injury instead? lol I don't even really think injury's that big of a factor considering all it takes is 1 game to get injured. Perhaps we should wrap our players in pillows and bubblewrap while we're at it. Edited February 26, 2019 by The Lock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My poorly made point was that Gaudette is obviously an NHL player, and he will be for us out of camp next season, just like Petey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
