JeremyCuddles Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Maybe we are sitting on that top 9 young forward. I loved this pick at the draft, still feel like we got a really good pick here. Hopefully he gets some looks at next camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of him on the right. And with Miller glued to Petey's wing that doesn't leave many spots for Gadjovich in the top 6. Even if the notion was realistic. Lol. I felt generous slotting him into our top 9 right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Always thought he was a great Burrows-type pick but he had a quiet few years, now it looks like he's finally got his scoring touch again. I hope he impresses next season in training camp because there'll be lots of bottom-9 openings available I'm sure. The way this season is going, might as well start auditions now and basically treat the rest of this crap-shoot as a training camp. Gadjovich deserves a look after his play but no point bringing him up just to play 3 minutes and sit on the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devron Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Seems like we should be talking about this guy more. The lost prospect no one talks about anymore. Be interesting to see if he can be that bottom six guy that chips in and roles a few heads now and then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they bought us time. It's great we haven't had to rush many of these young fwds, who would've wound up damaged & discarded, cannon fodder. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadjovich deserves a look after his play but no point bringing him up just to play 3 minutes and sit on the bench. Burrows wasn't a pick, he was an undrafted FA, where as Gadjovich was a 2nd round pick. I was hoping he'd develop a little quicker, but it's not all that surprising that he hasn't. Because it usually takes guys a little while to get acclimated and establish themselves coming out of junior hockey. It's pretty rare to see a kid come in out of juniors and not go through a huge adjustment and learning curve, especially guys whose skating is an issue. I'd love to see a bottom 6 containing both Gadjovich and MacEwen in the lineup in the coming years. Two guys who are physical, work hard, have good hands and who don't mind using those hands for not just scoring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s easy to get lost in all the junk talk right now with the way things are going. Bottom 6 is gonna look empty over the next couple years as these contracts expire. Gonna need a couple guys, hopefully Gadj is one Edited February 27, 2021 by Devron44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

204CanucksFan Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Really looking like he could actually turn in to the Tomas Holmström I hoped he would be when we drafted him. He's got such good hands when he's crashing and banging in front of the net 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrchief Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Jonah is really on a mission to improve. Maybe he can train with Bo's power skating coach, since she did wonders for Bo's skating. I can see why Judd and Weisbrod were very high on him when we drafted him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly would fill a need on the roster, so it's up to him. Quickness which is his deficiency is of course not just physical it's the mental ability to react, some are just slower to process the game, I don't believe you can teach that skill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I really hope Benning or even a new GM doesn’t just package him in a trade. He has the exact tools this team will need going forward. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need some quick thinking to do that. Foot speed was always his knock on him I believe, not so much the other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Love that he is making strides-positive sign. Credit to JB/scouting staff- they need a second wave of prospects and hopefully Jonah is a part of that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogersTowell Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 It's nice to see Gadjovich finally making some noise. He played way down the depth chart for the last two seasons. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
