Vancouver, BC – Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has recalled centre Brendan Gaunce and defenceman Andrey Pedan from the AHL Utica Comets.

He made his NHL debut earlier this season on October 29th at Dallas and notched his first career goal the following night at Arizona. He has now appeared in six NHL games.

 

A native of Markham, Ontario, Gaunce was originally selected by Vancouver in the first round, 26th overall, at the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.

He has also appeared in three games for the Canucks this season where he has registered five penalty minutes. He made his NHL debut earlier this season on December 1st at Los Angeles. During the 2014.15 season, the 6’5”, 217-pound defenceman appeared in 42 games with the Comets registering 14 points (3-11-14) and 70 penalty minutes. Prior to being acquired by Vancouver on November 25, 2014, Pedan played six games with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, recording three assists and 51 penalty minutes.

Pedan and Tryamkin! Grenier and Gaunce are solid too. Love it. They all bring size and can skate.

TWIN TOWERS!!! Will definitely be a different look than the Canucks back end the last couple of years.

I feel really bad for him if so. Must be a $&!#ty ass life.

$&!#ty life, its part of being a hockey player...

 

surely he jumps on a plane back and forth to play in the nhl and make his nhl salary over the ahl and that salary...

 

Prospects gotta get use to travel and earn their stripes...

Poor Gaunce. I hope he didn't fly back to Utica already.

He did - reason why they had to recall Grenier on emergency basis when Burrows was no longer good to go.  They probably crossed paths mid-air.

Or ever. Makes no sense to put them together.

 

On top of that queue the unrealistic expectations that they will be hitting machines.
