Because of that he ran into a brick wall. Any way that's behind him now I just hope he's got the message and can salvage a career and comes into camp ready to fight for his spot The nice thing about the Canuck time line is that young players like Lind and Gadjovich will develop without the added pressure of having to 'save' their NHL team. The org has the time to let these kids evolve. When you talk about 2nd rdr's having a 20% chance of making 100 NHL games I suggest those odds have to be nuanced by what team picks them and how they are developed. Canuck fans who write Lind and Gadjovich off after 1 year of pro are not showing near enough patience. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what worried some is the fact that a heralded player like Lind were unable to make the roster on many nights. The fact he couldn't win a spot on the roster has to be worrying IMO. So many fans acted like cheerleader doesn't help. Gadjovich was a regular in the press box, They both have 2 remaining years on their ELC lets hope it's enough time to turn it around. After this next season it'll be one year left so yes there is some urgency. There others coming behind them, Hogelund, Focht, Rathbone, Madden. et al. If I'm Lind the time is now!

He also was hurt and did not play for a month and a half...coming back from injury isn't easy...then the team was crippled at the end with the loss of most of their good "D". Gotta feeling Lind will not disappoint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadjovic concerns me. He’s already a man, and clearly is in fabulous condition, and ready to play. Him not getting ice time (IMO) equals not being good enough. Lind, as I’ve pointed out before, is still a boy physically and mentally. He was overweight, living a poor lifestyle, and not ready to compete. Lind is not concerning to me. He has the natural size and skills to be an NHL player. He needs to grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn1 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Both KL and JG played pretty regular in the last half of the season. Lind played more than Jonah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact remains that last year was their first as pros. I am not suggesting they are guaranteed NHL'ers. I expect both will come off their summers with better pro conditioning and better concepts of what it takes to be pros. If they are passed by more talented players then good for the org.

I agree, the system is set up for 3 years (ELC ) to prove yourself. Further the system is to draft half a dozen players every year to put pressure of the previous years picks. This a top down system and ensure that a pecking order of prospects, each putting pressure on the next in the chain of order. Nothing is by chnace it's set up that way. So Lind looks ate Hoglander/Madden and thinks that's the guy that wants my job, now it's up to me … good luck Kole 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that is only paid out if he plays in the NHL vs AHL? Edited August 22, 2019 by Kootenay Gold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even players wh have singed ELCs but are still in junior (Jet Woo) get the signing bonus. However, in Woo's case, his ELC will end up running 4 years (because the start date 'slides' when they're still in junior.) So he'll get the bonus in years 1-3 and not 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
