Gaunce played well, but Jake played a little better. That's how the world works. Perhaps we should just go back to the days of hoping for Hodgson and Schroeder. I'm sure they'd be much much better as 19 year olds right? right? On a random note, I might just take a break from these forums. This whole nitpicking of 19 year old prospects 20-25 games into the season is some of the worst fandom I've seen in a while in my opinion. We finally are getting somewhere with our prospect pool and we STILL have people going "Waaaaaaaah Virt over Gaunce! blah balh balh! I cut my naiil! WAAAAAAAAAAH!" Go ahead, take a break. If you think anyone's gonna stop and weep then I'm sorry for you LOL. And no, JV did not outplay Gaunce in the pre-season although young gun fanatics love to think that.

Actually, WD had said that JV outplayed Gaunce and, considering JV was not sent back to junior and Gaunce was sent to the AHL, it's kind of evident and it's not rocket science to figure that out. Sometimes the people in charge are there for a reason. They tend to know more than us fans despite popular belief.

You'll be pleased to know that the forum held a vigil for you in your absence. What else is WD gonna say? Gaunce outplayed JV but we're keeping JV with us despite that? As others have mentioned, at the end of the day, Gaunce goes back to a well managed Comets while JV would have gone back to a disastrous Hitmen.

Got it. All I'm saying is that there's sufficient justification for management to not want to send JV back to his junior club. It's worth the mention that despite Gaunce playing better, the org was better off having them both develop in the AHL and NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakrami Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Let's be honest, Gaunce had the best training camp. The reason why Virtanen's in the lineup is one or more of the following reasons: - We have a soft lineup, Virt brings some "potential" grit. - 6th pick, and by Benning. - Benning just controversially traded away a young 3rd line RW in Kassian. What's a better way than diverting the controversy by telling everyone Virtanen RW is ready. Gaunce has 8 points in 11 AHL games. I doubt Virtanen will get even half that much. I am sorry, but Virtanen will take a long time to develop. Edited December 1, 2015 by Drakrami 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're an idiotic stat watcher if you think JV doesn't have an affect on the flow, and outcome of the games he has played. Being Bennings 6 overall pick is irrelevant to his readiness. What controversy? You mean the one where Kassian had substance issues? Besides Benning wouldn't rush JV just to save face over a trade that is looking better and better each day... Virtanen has 4 points so he does indeed already have half of that total while playing in the NHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I watch the games, I see that Virtanen is a turnover machine and gets pushed around like a teenager.

RakuRaku Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I think JB gotta be fair to Gaunce as he seems to have matured and developed very well. Waive Baertschi as I doubt many teams would consider picking him up (dropping another roster player). Baertschi as talented as he may seem is simply lost and unable to make things happen. I like Gaunce a lot simply because he offers size, stability and versatility (C/LW); he is an effective 2-way player that can score a few goals! I would call up Grenier to replace Cracknell too. Cracknell has been an awesome 4th liner but Grenier is bigger and more skilled.... hold off on the Shinkaruk experiment for now as he still needs time... let the Sedins, Vrbata, Horvat,Burrows, McCann handle the offense!

Garrett made the absolute point of the game last night when he mentioned that Vancouver had two of the youngest centers in the NHL. I seriously wonder what some of these fans think they have sitting on the bench. As you said get rid of 19 or 20 year olds because they aren't performing like vets. Canucks do not have a serious CUP contending roster. Play the kids and keep the rotation out of Utica going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You started with shuttup lmao. What flow has Virtanen changed? lol... we suddenly start outshooting the opponent because of Virtanen's shifts? And I forgot to point out, Virt does not know what to do with the puck half the time it is on his stick. Sorry, but he is not the golden child you think he is. It will take 3-4 years for him to develop at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kassian then proceded to get himself thrown out of the league indefinitely with substance abuse. Sucks to see Gaunce hurt and I think he deserves a chance but Virtanen does as well.
