Sean Monahan Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 This is one I actually wouldn't mind taking a shot at. only 23 and RFA at the end of the season, so if it doesn't work we can rid ourselves of him in 41 games. If only he was right-handed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firestorm238 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Yeah - I'd definitely give him a look if he passes due diligence... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember. His numbers are very underwhelming but he's only 23 with 58 NHL games, there could be untapped potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been a let down since turning pro. That being said we do have room on the back end to see if he can ever turn into the dman most thought he would be. Oddly enough he did slide in his draft year. Maybe many scouts notice issues with his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutral Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 ya too bad he isnt rhd for sure. not sure if he has played right side , and yes sounds like he has been a disappointment since being drafted so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 He's been waived twice in a calendar year. I'd take him up in a moment as he's been buried and under utilized for his skill set while in Arizona. Not sure what the issue is in Colorado though unless they're loading up and making space for a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those bust labels can sometimes be unjustly handed out. Pretty sure Calgary gave one to Baertschi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I'm not outright saying he's a bust, but clearly he has issues that are getting him waived repeatedly. In my opinion, if benning was going to pick up a man from waivers, he would have already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 When he slipped in the draft as far as he did, I was mind boggled. Seeing how the Yotes gave up on him so easily, blew my mind. Now seeing him be waived for a second time, particularly a team that is starving for defensive depth, speaks volumes as to how much Gormley has fallen. Hope we pick him up so he can resurrect his career here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Wasn't he pretty highly touted at one point or am I thinking of someone else? Either way, I wonder if anyone will nab him. Edmonton could always use another project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
