I didn't say there was, but the combination of Tkachuk, Mangiapane and Gaudreau all looking for significant raises will make it a challenge for the Flames to stay under the cap.

Locke Lamora Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Hey, I see this thread got bumped and has a bit of activity going on. Did Olli score a couple of goals or points tonight? Or did he display his crumpled fetal position act to the Detroit media during a conditioning drill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewbieCanuckFan Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) I think OJ suffered a little from the Brendan Gaunce syndrome. Did alot of things good to ok but nothing great. Injuries played some part but imho, he was an a good junior team & benefited from that. And Brendan Gaunce will might end up with a longer NHL career than even Jake Virtanen.

Easy to poke fun in retrospect. My apologise, I couldn't resist when I saw the posts for him. Hodgeson was a good player but suffered from a pain in the back and an eternal pain in Gillis neck. I think he would have turned out good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be true although he is still playing hockey as a professional. So I can assume his health is not in question ie every pro team puts playerss under rigerous physicals. Hodgson did have to retire but maybe got a insurance pay out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I'm going by my memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 This is the problem in scouting. You are trying to project 17-18 year olds to where they will be in 3-4 seasons. The Canucks have had top 10 picks that hardly even got a cup of coffee in the NHL (Herter and Woodley combined 6 games). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke Lamora Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 OJ simply didn’t not have the work ethic to get the best out of his talent. Perhaps the Canucks could have done a better job in development, but I pretty much put this squarely on the player. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall Salo who was coaching him in Europe said some thing like, Well he's getting better but has a long way to go. Much like Virtanen when Burrow was working out with him in Canucksville in the summer said, Maybe he'll get it some day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think (unless I got him mistaken for someone else) Herter was another that suffered from the "Brendan Gaunce" syndrome. Kind of fairly solid in everything but didn't excel at anything.

He also specifically called out the fact that OJ’s fitness needed to be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) There were two comments that made me stop and look closer at this kid. Hunter, the coach of London Knights said he should make a second pairing D'man and the of course Salo. Then of course I started noticing he could only pivot one way. He was without question much like Herter, Polasek a major bust. What shocked me was the number of fans that continued to think he was going to be a quality D'man over looking their own eyes and depending on some scribes opinions Edited November 1, 2022 by Fred65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
