JM_ Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 He might be our Sutter replacement in 2 years. I'm really curious to see if Manny can help him become a solid face-off guy. He's a good skater with size, and seems to be developing a good defensive game. Lets give him a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I'd slot him in for Burmistrov for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.I.A.H.N Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 You guys got to give it a rest.....not all players need to contribute goals to be an asset to a team........ Gaunce is just coming off an injury, and will need time to adjust He is a solid defensive player that can play a disciplined game.........he'll figure the rest out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Luongo Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 14 hours ago, Canucks-12 said: hope he plays tomorrow I think Guance would give the Canucks a good solid boost. I'd take Dorsett out he's looking tired and not playing very good at all looks very slow and sloppy. I really like the idea of Guance, Sutter and Granlund tandem I think they'd completely shutdown the Flames top line and give the Canucks best chance to win. Guance will be much fresher and really help the pk which just might be a huge factor tonight in what I expect to be a tight battle. I think it's a no brainer but unfortunately it will likely be Burmistrov who comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregthehockeynut Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Burmistrov has been a bit invisible lately. Move Granlund to center with Vanek and Gagne with Gaunce on the Sutter line. That will work for the pk and checking line duties and maybe give those 2 vets a boost with Granlund's all around ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xereau Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Would like to see Gaunce in vs The Flames. Sit someone that's doing nothing out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuardian_ Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Judging from the number of minutes he played he may be being shopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bizarre 'judgement' Guardian. Judging by the number of minutes he played, he may have been playing his first game, after missing camp, preseason, and the first 14 games after shoulder surgery. Patience.

Rush17 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I liked his first game back up. He kind of was "lame" last night like the majority of our team. I think Burmistrov's speed is what this squad was lacking last night. Gaunce drives me nuts the way he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucklehead73 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Seems to play well on the defensive side... otherwise brings nothing to the table. No hitting, no scoring, no play making, can't win draws, skating is weak but improved. These type of defensive fowards are merely stopgaps until you can find a defensive forward who brings "something" else to the table... classic example of the Canucks poor drafting record. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my two cents. I agree. The Canucks need more forwards with speed, skill, toughness or intensity. Gaunce possesses none of those qualities.

NexusRift Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I think maybe the coaching staff sees something in Gaunce that we don't. I'm sure TG wouldn't have sent him up from the farm to WD last year for kicks. And he wouldn't be playing now under TG on the big club if there was nothing there to work on. I think they believe Gaunce is a work in progress and he's a ready and willing participant in that endeavour. He's still young and obviously ahead of the Megna, Chaput and Bouchees of the Canuck farm team world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
