I don't think the Kraken will find a goalie under 32 on a ONE year deal making under 4.5 million that has a vezina and stanley cup ring. Some people are saying they could take Price or MAF, they both have massive contracts. Kraken can easily take Holtby as their starter or backup to a young goalie thats exposed. Having only one year left is also attractive for a vezina Stanley cup winning goalie, because they will soon have the cap freedom and choice to either sign him again for less or move on. I see them taking Holts. Pretty excited to see Gadj progressing so nicely. He was injured for a lot longer than we were told, I think. I remember seeing him here in Victoria at training camp and he looked to me like he was trying to hide a limp while he walked. Now that he's healed, he's starting to show us what he can do. I sure hope he doesn't get taken by the Kraken, because he might turn into yet another great supporting cast member like Hogs, Podz, and Lind. #hirebenning 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadcanucks Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 A big guy who can bang and score would be a welcomed addition to the Canucks down the stretch and into 2021-22. Fingers crossed that he is either protected or if left unprotected Gadjovich is not taken in the Expansion Draft so that we can see him don the #21 jersey sooner than later.

Gadjovich not as effective since Rathbone moved up. Gadjovich made a living smacking in rebounds from Rathbone shots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadjovich made a living smacking in rebounds from Rathbone shots. Makes sense. Rathbone was averaging 4 shots on goal per game in the AHL, and even more shot attempts, which is some serious volume shooting. And Rathbone’s timing and placement is high level, so he creates a lot of chances for rebounds and deflections, which is where Gadjovich is at his best, as a goal scorer. Gadjovich also said in that interview above that defenders had started overplaying him, because of the success he was having scoring goals, which may also be part of why he’s cooled down. Although he also said that it’s opened up looks for his teammates, so he’s happy, so long as somebody is scoring the goals and they’re winning, even if he’s becoming more of a decoy to draw defenders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he can be something like a PP2, bottom 6, Tomas Holmstrom-lite type player for us, we're LAUGHING. Anything over that is pure gravy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats to Gadj on a helluva season so far Benning’s plan is to protect Eriksson, Beagle, Roussel, Sutter, Vesey, Highmore, Hawrilyuk, Boyd, and expose Gadjovich, Lind, Lockwood and so on - it is all part of a cunning plan, m’lord. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 This guy should be in the NHL right now. He's miles ahead of Virtanen. Gadjovich is everything Virtanen was supposed to be. Our future Todd Bertuzzi. Get him on a plane and in the lineup tomorrow so he can beat up on the Leaves. Play him with BO and Pearson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be shocked if he becomes more than a middle six tweener, and that'd be great for a second round pick. But then again.. I really, really, really hate the Todd Bertuzzi comparison Nucks fans tend to make about large guys with skill. Bertuzzi was a rare player at his peak, we've seen very few players like that in the league since. The game's also changed, nobody would get away with the nastiness Bert got away with back in the day. Top end power forwards are extremely rare. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Canuck #12 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Personally, if it comes down to a decision between exposing Lind and Gadjovich in the expansion draft, I would lean toward exposing Lind. This is simply because impactful power forwards are so hard to come by and so valuable when you find them. Gadjovich has the potential to become this in the future and Lind, regardless of his own potential, doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest we came through expansion practically unscathed. A win! Neither are game breaking talent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
