RetroCanuck Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 A little disappointed Zack didn't get the call to see what he can do. Had a decent preseason and a great start to this year so it would have been fun and good for him to see some time at the NHL level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but Gaudette is very deserving IMO and has looked great so far. Unfortunately there will be many more injuries this year, so I’m sure he’ll get a few games.

Nice problem to have though with deserving players waiting for their chance... Mac’s time will come if he continues to perform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realizing that injuries will happen in Vancouver I do expect to see him get called up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe with Beagle out for 3-5 more weeks, there’s time enough to rotate Zack in after Guadette gets a couple more under his belt.. always good to reward a players enthusiasm and hard work with the NHL dollar earning of their contract.. If I’m correct, it’s usually a 100% upgrade per game in the bigs ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ryan Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I'd say this stint with Beagle out is as good a time as any to rotate through a few of our depth players. Archie got the call today. Give him a few games. If he doesn't quite produce (not just points, but also hits and good two way play), then start looking at the depth for 5 game stints. I could see Gaudette and Archie being the first calls. After those two, I see Zack as next in line, before Dahlen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Was a little disappointed to see Darren Archibald get the call before Zack MacEwen with Boeser being injured. That being said, Zack's gotta be the next guy who gets called up if another long term injury hits the lineup. Really feel like the Canucks have found a diamond in the rough with this kid.

Archie has more than earned that call up. He deserves it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 archibald has to be running out of shots at the nhl. he consistently proves that he can't consistently bring a meaningful contribution to the lineup for more than about 7 periods before falling off the map. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Archie has bought into the idea of being a versatile AHL Vet.. Quite Frankly I see Darren and Biegga as our unsung heroes.. always ready willing and able. Truly Dedicated and are helping this franchise evolve at both the AHL and NHL levels. Edited October 24, 2018 by SilentSam 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vannuck59 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Yes Archie is a good Vet but is a place holder Bring up MacEwen already. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of time for Mac to get a sniff this year. He needs to play and develop and be consistent. And his time will come. He has taken a step forward this year and that is good and I am sure not been missed by the brass. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drop Em Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Looking forward to seeing this guy in a Nucks uniform at some point in the future. He looks like a bit of a throw back player and I think he has the kind of skill set in a package that they haven't had on the team in a long time.

Big, tough right winger that can score? Seems like every team just about could use one. Well we have Virtanen, but Virtanen played mostly lw in junior. Or we could get really interesting depth on rw: Boeser, Virtanen, Schaller, McEwan, Gadjovich, Lind, Jasek, Lockwood. Well, I’m pretty sure they won’t all work out for us. Damn, life is tough.

Gaudette Celly Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) Nice li'l drag before burying the rebound.

Odd. Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) This guy has a future in the NHL, and hopefully we see him very soon. I'm hoping he can become a Miles Wood for us. MacEwen is way bigger, but the two play a very similar game. I'd say he's probably further ahead than Gaudette.

86Viking Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Intrigued by this guy for sure. Was it wrong of us to pass on calling up him and bring up "Hobey Baker" Gaudette? Would that have ruffled his feathers or put a bad taste in his mouth if he wasn't a guarantee early call up? Its just a simple question. But from what I hear and see MaCewen sure seems like he is deserving of being on this team. Heck he could have just made it out right and we could have passed on the Schaller signing all together? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
