-AJ- Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 He's a stud defensively, and I believe he will be given a shot by Green, but I think Green likes what he has and Gaunce will have to perform well to hold on to his spot. Green will probably be even harder on players he knows well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 To ease our minds on Gagner... - collectively, the FA additions have been vunderbar(gotta take the good w/ the bad) - We OWED that family. Wasn't it his old man who turned us on to Tanev? Think they played youth hockey together in Ontario, didn't they? & Gaunce?..He's a beaut! We'll make room for the kid. That size becomes more valuable as the season rolls on. TL, JB & TG know this well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether that means another injury or 5 or 6 more games to evaluate guys like Burmistrov, Vanek, Gagner, etc. Or if Gaunce doesn't perform well in Utica, that chances of him clearing waivers will be pretty high.

Blömqvist Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Sit Burmistrov. Gaunce on LW playing alongside Sutter and Dorsett. Granlund on LW playing alongside Gagner and Vanek. Baertschi - Horvat - Boeser Daniel - Henrik - Virtanen Granlund - Gagner - Vanek Gaunce - Sutter - Dorsett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From personal experience they are the best thing i ever used in the off season. The incline is used to increase agility, no different than doing incline sprints on the a normal treadmill. I wouldn't suggest solely using them but they are good alternative for building power and quickness in your stride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Gaunce should just stay in Utica, unless the Canucks really need him. I'd rather give opportunities to Rodin, Goldobin, Archibald and Labate. But if Green is in love with him, he may join the team the way Megna became a regular last year (the coach likes him).

Hairy Kneel Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 We should call up Archie or Goldie while Gaunce is down there, to get a look at them before Gaunce comes back up. It might be too crowded later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter Soldier Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 He sits out. No reason to change what's working and Gaunce is in no way a firestarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 And on that note isn't it just great with so much strength in depth, that we're debating wheather we're sending Gagner, Burmistrov, Gaunce or who ever down, and we don't even have Eriksson playing. (At the moment with the way the team is swinging, it is probably a good thing Eriksson isn't playing) And also Rodin, Goldy or even Archie waiting in the wings. We may not have a super top line, but we have a lot of kids waiting their time. The future looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where's Wellwood Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Gaunce would count as another veteran under AHL rules though. They already have too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
