Stelar Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 1 hour ago, Darius71 said: yup...i think his game will translate well into the NHL. This isnt a Hunter Shinkaruk style prospect where you know the types of goals he tends to score wont work in the NHL. Gaudette is a puck hound and lives in the dirty areas. Not only that he has some snarl to his game too. There are a lot of nice kids in the system, this guy could provide some hot mustard to the lineup. I can see him making the other team miserable kinda like how dorsett does now. Who? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how on the last two goals, you can basically read his line from way beyond the blue line and all the way in. Just heads straight for the net and the puck finds him. Maybe not the most eye popping finishes (and we get a little spoiled by Pettersson in that regard) but nonetheless the type of scoring plays that should translate well to the pro level.

Yeah most goals in the NHL are scored by players who go to the net consistently. This is why, along with Gaudette's unbreakable will to win, there is no doubt in my mind that he will be an NHL player and play a significant role in the Canuck's future success. A few times on CDC, a few posters have stated that not all of a teams prospects make the NHL when a list of our top prospects are brought forth. Obviously not all of a teams prospects make the NHL. In fact very few make it to the NHL. The Canucks are a very good example of this before Benning arrived. Since then, Benning has done a remarkable job of filling up our prospect pipeline. So when fans get excited for the very best of our prospects, then it is likely that most of these are likely going to make the NHL because these are our top prospects. They are the best of a good pool of prospects. A number of them will even be major contributors to our team. Like Gaudette for example. You follow our prospects diligently so you would know as well as anybody how deep and good our prospect pool is. End of unwarranted rant.

Popular Post nergish Posted October 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2017 I heard we drafted Gaudette and thought nothing of it. But, from the first time I actually watched video on him, I saw a complete player that had the compete level that can elevate an entire team. Starting to think that a Pettersson-Gaudette-Boeser line could be one of the best in the league. Gadjovich-Horvat-Lind? Dahlen, Virtanen, Lockwood, Palmu, Rodin, Goldy all cycling through... Looks promising to me. Starting to see Benning's vision? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think Pettersson will need a year in Utica to A) Get used to North American sized ice, and B] become accustomed to playing center again. As far as Gaudette goes, I can see him slotting in sometime this season (depending on how his team does this year obviously). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble 6 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I'm pretty happy with what Gaudette has done so far. I haven't watched him play, but his scoring has been very good. I like that there are multiple reports saying that he has that high end tenacity and a nonstop motor. That should serve him very well. However, I think projections in terms of his NHL impact have overblown slightly. I'd be very, very happy if he establishes himself as an effect 3C for the Canucks in the future. To me, him turning into a top-6 center doesn't seem impossible, but it does seem unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette getting some time this year after his season is done is very likely but....for a sure thing try this idea... Pettersson is looking like he is going to hold down a PPG pace this year....several points comparisons have been made between the SHL and the NHL...roughly his PPG pace would equate too .8 PPG in the NHL or about 65 points....as an 18 year old. So how are we supposed to keep a 65-75 ( with a years growth) point man out of the lineup..... We just went through this whole discusion with Boeser who some where saying needs seasoning in the AHL....Pettersson is even better/more rounded than Boeser at this point in his young career....I don't see anyway he doesn't make the team next fall....

He can play RW just fine as well...as I said above he doesn't have to be top 6 to get top minutes if the top 9 guys get equal minutes ....which is Green's style anyway....

SergioMomesso Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I love how all three goals, the puck was on his stick for less than 1 second combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Nothing on the scoreboard yet for Gaudette in tonight's game, but by my count he's already had 7 shot attempts (and 5 SOG), roughly 3 minutes through the 2nd period.

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Gaudette's unofficial tally (by my count) through two periods: 1 goal, 10 shot attempts (7 on goal) Kid's a monster. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_Cathode Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 He started four steps behind the defenceman at his own (Gaudette's blueline) and beat him to the net. I think this kid may be a bit of a skater. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 A bit quicker and a few more pounds was his stated goal for this season. He'll be ready come Spring. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
