Bur14Kes17 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 i imagine this likely means that Brendan Gaunces time in Vancouver may be at an end for now. Some time in Utica may do him some real good to regain his confidence. The Carolina Hurricans also claimed Ty Rattie which means the Canucks did not put a claim in on him.

I don't know much about this guy (great name though). Why does his addition make you think Gauncer's on his way out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlinkas wrister Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Wow, 4th and potentially 5th team this year already. Living the dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Quote The Canucks already have an extra forward so it’s likely they’ll make another move. Only Brendan Gaunce can be farmed out without waivers, so unless the team wants to expose Jayson Megna or Michael Chaput or Jack Skille to waivers, Gaunce will be the guy to head to Utica. http://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/canucks-claim-reid-boucher-off-waivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Type R Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 4 minutes ago, PhillipBlunt said: Utica depth. Is he? We are picking him up because NJ tried to send him down. We nabbed him, so doesn't that put him into Vancouvers system right away? 6 minutes ago, ThrustyPrusty89 said: I don't know much about this guy (great name though). Why does his addition make you think Gauncer's on his way out? Because Gaunce is playing LW on the 4th and he's been losing battles, and hasn't looked very strong. If this improves our 4th line, where as we can roll it more consistently, then that makes me a happy camper. This will help keep our other 3 lines fresh, especially in back to back games.

Gaunce needs Utica and Utica needs Gaunce. I actually think that Gaunce has been playing well as of late. he's been forechecking well, getting his passes through but he needs to shoot more. I remember last game he had a 2 on 1 and he opted for the pass. it's never a bad thing for him to send him down though I prefer they send Chaput down.

I like Gaunce a lot and his play has been better lately, but he needs to put up some points and feel what it's like to score again. That's going to be a huge boost for Utica. They get a 1st line center dropped into their laps and can start to turn their season around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then he has to clear, which means NJ will pick him back up. So they sent him down, was snagged by NSH, who then did the same, so NJ got back, tried to send him down again, and then Vancouver grabbed him.

Gaunce is the only one that is waiver eligible, which makes him the only real candidate. Canucks can't afford to lose Megna/Chaput to waivers because it would further deplete the Utica roster.

Sure but remember BG was a 1st round pick... he's pretty hard to notice a lot of nights too so I suspect thats the issue here. Anyway its a free player to try out.

If not, yeah, it likely spells Utica for Gaunce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
