Weird how first round draft choices are described as having potential.... weird heh ?

Lol 6 years ago he definitely had potential..

Should we trade Schaller for Henrik Samuelsson or Stefan Matteau because they have potential?

We have $10mil in capspace and people still whine about a 1.9mil 2 year deal. Unreal. 

No $&!#.  And they want to give the spot to Gaunce no less.  Funny how OJ is a bust already according to some but Gaunce in his draft +7 year is still growing.  My guess is we all know what Gaunce is at this point.  Not much good happens and not much bad happens when he is on the ice.

When in each year he has been better than the last, he is 24 and the average peak is 28, yes.

So rather than signing depth guys, you'd rather hope that Gaunce turns into Karlsson 2.0 sometime in the next 4 years?

Hint to canuck73_3 et al who are arguing with these trolls:

 

Put them on "Ignore".

They are cluttering up every thread.

You are not supposed to call other posters here " trolls "

If you don't want to discuss the player on this thread.... go to another thread...

I genuinely like Gaunce a lot good kid but at this point very replaceable.

Care to talk about Schaller? At this point you're adding even less than the “trolls” to the discussion.

Another talking point on Schaller vs Gaunce:

 

Schaller had 36% zone starts in the offensive zone compared to Gaunce's 15%.

Because Schaller is a better offensive player. If Gaunce could contribute more he'd get more offensive starts...

Schaller is an undrafted  borderline . NHL . / AHL player . that has been  negative plus minus pretty much every year....  and he disappeared in this years playoffs.

The Bruins did not want to bring him back.........  so the Canucks signed him to 2 year deal as a place holder  4th line centre. 

 

Personally, i think Gaunce is younger and faster and better defensively.....

You think he's younger because he is younger. 

 

Defensively they're a wash. 

 

Offensively Schaller destroys Gaunce. 

 

Physically Schaller destroys Gaunce. 

 

And as for skating you're right Schaller is awful :huh:

Gaunce's FA% 41.65 compared to Schaller's FA% 38.4, meaning Gaunce actually generates more scoring chances and/or stops more opposing teams scoring chances (not including blocked shots) than Schaller, which is concerning considering that Schaller had 21% more ozone starts.
