Wtf are these clowns even doing to not give that guy another look? You literally have 1 job right now and thats to evaluate the talent... smh I cannot even right now with this decision. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Jonah gets plucked off waivers (I’m hoping he clears) is he a guy who will make a difference between us winning and losing? I like his size, and toughness, but he struggles (defensively) when he doesn’t have the pick, which is pretty much 98% of his icetime. Hopefully he clears and can develop his away from the puck game this year and we call him up later. I think he can be a player, but not just yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I could see the Maple Laffs claiming this kid. Don't like it when we always seem short on muscle. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goals make a difference between winning and losing. Having energy doesn't. Glad we have Highmore and not Gadjovich. 2 points in 2 games? (goal and assist) - Get rid of him! Need more Dowling!

IDK if you have been watching lately but after our regulars there is a SIGNIFICANT drop off. Theres like nobody. Gadjovich was a bright spot why in gods name did we not test him against actual NHL'rs? Makes no sense how do we know what we have in him? Reminds me of Archibald, played his ass off, hit, scored goals but never gets a fair shot.. guess they dont know the secret illuminati handshake. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he needs to play without the puck if that going to happen. For him that’s 99% of his ice time where he needs to improve. That’s best done in the minors. If he’s claimed, I will not be happy, but I also realize it’s truly not a big loss. I do hope he clears though. He’s got great character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope he clears though. He’s got great character. I think it is a big loss. Unlike someone like Corrado who people were getting up in arms at letting go back in the day, Gadjovich has size and the ability to score. Why isn't he tried out on a line with Miller? How do you look at this player, see his ability to get to the net and score (with 4th line teammates), and not try him with some better offensive players? Where's the talent assessment? So dumb. Like AV having no idea that trying Burrows with the Sedins would necessarily do anything (he said he decided to try it out in an interview. Didn't give any particular reason). If you watched him play you could see he had very good hockey IQ and both offensive and defensive awareness before he ever played a shift with them. Case in point the One game he actually got to play with Bertuzzi (him and Kesler) where he got his first credited hattrick, and that wasn't even enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeneedLumme Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Hopefully the timing for this move was based on JB looking at the various teams' depth charts and deciding that if any of them claimed Gadj right now they would need to waive players they don't want to lose. Keeping my fingers crossed. Hey, Marky cleared waivers this time of year didn't he? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He rather have journeyman who plays defensively than to play a young kid with so much potential. I am going to be so pissed if we lose him.

Drives the net. Good shot. Reads plays well. Under Construction (Improvements to Make) Skating Consistency NHL Potential Gadjovich has the upside of a top-six power forward. He already has the frame and can only get stronger. I believe he is a little dependent on his linemates. He enjoyed a great deal of success playing on one of the OHL’s best lines with Nick Suzuki and Kevin Hancock. The situation Gadjovich lands in is worth watching. His floor is a bit lower as well given his hot and cold streaks. He has boom or bust potential. Risk-Reward Analysis Risk – 5/5, Reward – 4.5/5 Fantasy Hockey Potential Offence – 8/10, Defense – 7/10 Awards/Achievements Jonah Gadjovich won an OHL Gold Cup Championship in 2013-14. He also won an OMHA Gold Medal in the same season. He was originally drafted 39th overall in the 2014 OHL Priority Selection.

The whole team has to play a good D overall game and not just rely on the defense for it or we'll never get there, almost every team who has a cup played a really good 200' game so we need to get there too. But yeah, some of Green's decisions have irked me too but then again he's not a seasoned NHL either, he's still learning but I'm confident, just like the team he'll improve too..

Warhippy Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Gonna be really upset seeing Jonah as a Shark. There's little question we're gonna be frustrated seeing him 6 times a year or more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the SJ Sharks disagree with you but, yeah, unfortunate situation that we couldn't really move him for anything. Best of luck to him but I really wish we gave him a chance. Nothing against DiGiuseppe, Bailey, Petan (who I like), Chiassion, etc., though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt they have anybody worth claiming off their waiver list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
