Willies garbage system of hockey was exactly known offence with the top six let alone the bottom 3, career lows for most of the top six. Except for the kids where 10 goals is a career high. Agreed 1000%. I heard that one of the reasons Tryamkin gave for leaving was the unfair distribution of ice-time. Maybe Tryamkin was talking more than just about his own ice time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Tryamkin was talking more than just about his own ice time? Any 1st year d-man in the NHL who complains about TOI of 16 minutes not being fair should give his head a shake. If this was the main reason for leaving then Van might have dodged a bullet in resigning this guy. As the KHL churns and 6 teams are folded I suspect Tryamkin will return with his tail between his legs. Benning will get him for a cheaper CAP than if he had stayed which is good for the Canucks. I am more inclined to give Tryamkin the benefit of the doubt and assume he left for family reasons. Either way cutting special deals for Russian players should not be high on priority lists for the Canucks. If they cannot or will not make an adjustment to the NHL rigors then they should be traded or cut. Tryamkin showed great potential but his actions threatened team chemistry, especially for the younger defense prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More worried of losing a top 4 d-man unless Benning makes a deal of some kind. I prefer he ships a Dorsett to Vegas and retains some CAP as incentive to Vegas. Dorsett is a 'meat & potatoes' player who could help transition a Vegas team. Easy -- ship them a Grenier to man their farm team as incentive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putgolzin Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I was thinking about Gaunce today in relation to the new coach. This is a coach who knows Gaunce's game and has already had success at cultivating it into a more productive role. Assuming he's a Canuck past the expansion draft, I would be surprised if we're still talking as dismissively about Gaunce a year from now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the feeling that Gaunce and Greener had a good relationship. I expect this to be a good season for Gaunce. I think we'll see him get a chance on some third line roles here and there to see if he can prove himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaunce is one of the smartest players on the ice and does exactly what the coaches want him to do. He is capable of far more than what minor league Willie let him do.Watching him play games made me realize how he can be an impact player and how hard he tries every shift which will translate into more points and an enhanced role over time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaunce will be a huge beneficiary of Green as Canuck coach. Gaunce with a year of NHL experience should come into the fall very prepared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Sutter is already a 2B centre. We'd all be thrilled if Gaunce got to this level. The only argument I think that you can make is that Sutter is overpaid and I'd disagree with that idea. I do hope we keep Gaunce and they take Sbisa, but who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 When Gaunce was in Utica, Green had him in a more offensive role, thus it's likely he already knows that Gaunce has more offensive to give. I get the feeling that Gaunce will be putting up like 10g this coming season. Assuming he's not picked up by Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Sutter means a huge whole down the middle especially if the Canucks choose not to sign Henrik/or he retires. Leaving us either to overpay for a UFA, or overpay in a trade to get another tweener centre. I love Gaunce to death, and i think he has tons of potential, but man it would be ugly if come next offseason we are staring at Horvat and Gaunce only.

I've seen a couple of mock x-pac drafts from the media going this route. Here's the difference: If Suter is exposed, he'd most likely be gone as he'd have among the most value. The only saving grace might be his cap hit if Vegas has already chosen other cap heavy players. If Gaunce is exposed, it's not as likely as with Suter as there are other "equal-ish" options comparatively. From a business standpoint, it really doesn't make as much sense to expose Suter. The reality is we're going to lose a good player, so we might as well be minimizing what we can lose at a value level. It's just smart business in my opinion.

Salmonberries Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I don't think Vegas is interested in this player. The risk of losing Guance in the expansion draft would negligible. I'm sure their scouts watched him play last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldoescobar Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I dont see any harm in exposing him as I dont think he has much value even to an expansion team. Just my personal opinion. Definitely would protect Sutter over Gaunce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
