RetroCanuck Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Right where the big guy needs to be. Ideally we'd see a decent centre down there next year. But maybe a Gadj-Gaunce-Lind line would be good with some top 6 minutes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope they qualify Gaunce and can convince Kero to re-sign even though he is a group 6 UFA this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya agreed, if they had some better centres down there this year Im sure they'd have been fine. Surplus of winger and few decent centres. Resign Gaunce, and sign some UFA centres to AHL/NHL deals. Waive guys that don't make the big club. For example if Granny has no trade value then send him down. Pick up some C's in the waiver wire as well.

As far as forward prospects for next year they have McEwen, Lind, Gadjovich and Jasek that generally play the RW and they have no prospects in the pipeline for the Center and LW spots. They are a bit better set up on defence as they will likely have Joulevi, Brisbois, Sautner, Teves, Rafferty, Chatfield and Eliot plus any AHL'ers they might sign in the off season. I expect Juolevi will start in Utica but will not finish the year there. There is also the possibility that Rafferty or Sautner surprise in training camp and make the Canucks. it would certainly help Utica short term and possibly Vancouver long term to trade the dearth of the middle six forwards for some decent prospects and help fill the Comets roster for next year.

Looks like JB talked to Cull about playing the young guys, and now look and Gadjovic getting minutes and success. I’m very disappointed in how the year went fir developing our young guys down in Utica. I think next year there will be a philosophical shift.

Gadjovich and Palmu are both LWers who could be done there next year... hopefully playing top 6 minutes. I truly believe MacEwen will be on the Canucks roster to start next year. Young, hard, talented winger is just what we need. I agree the defence is set. No worries there. Ideally you'd see two quality AHL centres down there next year with Gadj&Lind and Palmu&Jasek as the wingers for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kootenay Gold Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I stand corrected on Gadjo. but not so sure that Palmu will be back. The Comets will need to add some quality centers in Utica next year and hopefully the Canucks can acquire them in trade during the off season.

Tre Mac Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I applaud his heart and work ethic but unless he drastically improves his skating I don't think he'll make the NHL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if JB selects certain guys (even as early as round two) with the intention that player might make the NHL, but (at minimum) that player will be a good AHL player, who works hard - on and off the ice - plays the right way, and stands up for his teammates? Gadjovic is the kind of player that does all those things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's so choppy with his stride. A lumber jack on skates...If he does get better at skating watch out. I love the grit he brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenAlien Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Two apples for Gadjovich tonight in another preseason outing. Primary assist on Petgrave’s goal and secondary on Perron’s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Is Gadjovich injured? Thought he was having a reasonable start to the season, but he hasn't played in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he's been listed as day-to-day with a upper-body injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
