Salmonberries Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Gadjovich has played a lot and in important situations. Lind was bumped for will Bitten late in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadjovich had a real solid game IMHO. On the ice for 3 GF and 0 GA. Went to the net, won most of his board battles and was physical. Coaching obviously likes him as they put him on the ice for ozone starts. His puck possession is strong. I agree he could be some thing. On the basis of this game he makes the team. I am looking forward to the USA game. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Buzzsaw* Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I like this kid. He shows good hockey smarts... positions himself well, doesn't seem to fall behind the play despite being slightly on the slow side. Makes nice passes in the O-Zone, and also seems to be able to get into position to take a pass. Likes to hit, makes his line changes snappy. Weakness... critical first couple steps on his breakout or onto loose pucks are slow... same problem as Horvat had in Junior... if he can build up some explosive strength in his legs he'll be fine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckpuckluck1 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 This is a legit question from someone who hasnt played the game. Can you teach someone to skate? I mean creating this explosive speed we are discussing? I know Horvat has improved and looks awesome on the ice. Is he an exception to the rule or can it be learned from dedication and hard work? It seems to me it would be a skill that could be improved with hard work as opposed to reading the game which you either have or do not! If it can be learned then Gadjovich looks like a handy pick. I did notice he fought the puck a few times in transition which I am sure the Canucks staff will have noticed. Its that first touch which is crucial, it allows the player to get into stride faster. If you watch McDavid his first touch at speed is amazing and his head is up, which allows him to get into position to make any play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo had really wide strides back in the day but refined his technique which helped his speed. Another example from this years draft was matthew strome who is slow but again has wide strides. It seems that Jonah's skating is different from theirs but it still can improve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post stawns Posted August 4, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2017 I get a Keith Primeau vibe around this kid. Man, how amazing would it be if he turned out to be that kind of player? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think Virt will be fine personally. But hopefully, if he doesn't turn out as hoped, Gadjovich does and we'll have one of them on each of our two middle 6 lines. Sign Kane next year and you've potentially got some nice size on all four future lines Kane, Pettersson, Boeser Dahlen, Horvat, Virtanen Gadjovich, Gaudette, ???
