Jiggs50 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Maybe the only positive to come from today was when Benning mentioned Gaunce and other young players in Utica would get a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gstank29 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I would assume Gaunce, Kenins and Grenier will all get looks, maybe even Pedan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickyoursedin Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 The positive on no trades on TDL from us is JB didn't trade Gaunce lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace The Creator Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Hopefully we'll get to see Gaunce really soon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I'm excited for his inevitable call up, it'll be interesting to see him get more than a small window of time to make an impression at the NHL level. I'm not expecting him to blow anyone away but I think he'll surprise some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 with the deadline over are we allowed to expan our roster? We cant send players down tho can we, waivers is over? I say this as if we want to give Z grenier and Gaunce a shot will it all be one at a time? give them a few games then thanks go back to utica call up the next player?

GB5 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 With Cracker gone I'm hoping for some more Gaunce and Grenier sightings at Canucks games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Gaunce, Grenier,Kenins, Pedan, Fedun, and hopefully Zalewski and Friesen get another crack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Spector Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 He should get a call up beside the end of the year. With Cracknell gone we are one injury away from a call up so I expect Gaunce to be next in line. Unless Green wants to keep him in Utica for the balance of the year in order to not interfere with his development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are limited in the number of call ups we can make post-TDL, I think it's four, so we won't be calling everyone up. There's an allowance for call ups if we get into injury trouble so as not to use those four though. Benning specifically mentioned Gaunce, Grenier and Zalewski in the interviews I heard, but I'd think Pedan would also be of interest since he's waivers eligible next year. Kenins and Fedun I'm not so sure, same with Friesen, and I think they don't need to rush Subban at this point either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zduck14 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I really like the way Gaunce is developing and I honestly see a lot of Chris Higgins (in his prime) in his game. He's very good defensively, can play C or LW and can move up and down the lineup. I believe Gaunce will have a few years where he puts up 2nd line production but on a Stanley cup contending team he'll be a very good third liner.

Stierlitz Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Jon Abbott @HockeyAbbs 5m5 minutes ago Considering Gaunce is on emergency recall, he remains for the length of time that Hansen is out of the lineup. It sounds like a week-2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's why they brought up 5 right before the TDL Musta cleaned them out of everything but the AHL contracts. I think Benning pretty much stated who'd be coming -- Gaunce, Grenier, Zalewski, Pedan -- although with Gaunce on emergency recall perhaps that doesn't count as one of the four?

N4ZZY Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Would love to see Gaunce staying up with the big club for the rest of the season, and also Pedan. These two most likely makes the squad next season. We need to either buy out some vets, or trade them for whatever we can get. But I also agree. We need veteran leadership as well: Sedins are going to be here, no questions. - Hamhuis I can see back - Vrbata - GONE - Hansen returns - probably a free-agent signing.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Brendan Gaunce speaks with reporters following practice Wednesday at Rogers Arena after being called up from the Utica Comets as the Canucks get set to host the Sharks Thursday evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WonderTwinPowers Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 He carries himself very well, very well spoken. Rarely hear him pause or stutter when talking to media. He's going to be a great leader for the team moving forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
