Shafted a few years in a row after being rumoured front runners due to family or home plus losing the lottery Let this be the year. Sikura + 1st overall Its time Sikura is this year's Cagguila. I wouldn't be too worried if we don't land him but happy to have him if we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point being that he's unlikely to be 'franchise altering'. Additional, quality depth is always welcome though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Sikura is more dynamic with the puck than Cagguila was. DC has a good shot, but the creativity of DS is something to get excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston-Reese is another Drake Cagguila, not Sikura. Sikura actually has skill instead of just grit and willpower. He's probably closer to Kerfoot.

Apologies, I didn't mean to come across as upset or irritated. I suppose I was just being too straightforward without regard for the tone in the way my point was given. I believe his main point is that there's no huge loss in not being able to sign Sikura right? I guess it's not something to cry over, but it would be a greater loss than missing out on Cagguila. Gaining a free asset similar to Kerfoot would not only improve our team, but also free up assets to trade for (e.g. Max Domi maybe?). Kerfoot is filling in for Mackinnon, on an Avs team that can potentially be in the playoffs. If Sikura is of a similar quality (combined with Gaudette's potential impact) I would say it's worth being disappointed over (momentarily anyway). I could be wrong in Sikura ends up being unable to adapt to the NHL, but he's an enticing piece either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In particular, I value his play driving ability. He’s such a perfect compliment to Gaudette in this area. Adam is no slouch himself, but Sikky has that extra gear when he brings out the feints and dangles and starts weaving his way through multiple defenders. And then Gaudette knows where to go to receive the pass. They’re magic together and I’d love to see them take their show together to the pro ranks. I do think the Canucks have other options in their pool who might be able to fill the same role as Sikura on a future line with Gaudette. But those two already have proven chemistry, and I think their act would continue to play very well in the NHL. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the CFL days of Roughriders vs Rough Riders. Unfortunately, in tonight’s game, the wrong Huskies have scored twice and UConn leads 2-0.

Nice to see the other Canucks prospects listed and most particularly to see Pettersson topping the list. Kole Lind, however, should probably be mentioned in the same breath as Glass, who's listed at #4 on the list. Other questions in my mind are how Dahlen beats Demko on that list, in fact, Demko might be the #2 Canucks prospect of the bunch, although Gaudette is doing brilliantly this year as well. In any case, things are coming along. I hope Lind keeps getting snubbed. All it seems to do is light a fire under his ass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Gaudette with an assist, but NU down 3:1 in the third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Dahlin26 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Gaudette with his 21st of the season. 2 points so far. His team will face BU on Monday in the beanpot final. TSN 2 will have the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Gaudette has to be licking his chops looking at the opportunity available in Vancouver. I suspect he will get top 9 minutes out of the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 The assist: (Quick whistle was overturned: good goal!) The goal: Gaudette finishes with 1G 1A and named 2nd star in the 4-2 loss. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, definitely not but if would at least be a fair way of applying a rule to close down a bit on the loophole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
