No, I agree, it could be fairly boring hockey, if Pettersson and/or Hughes doesn't play. Although, I'm really looking forward to seeing what Boeser can do with 82 games. That's the problem with signing 3 UFAs a year, it seems, it keeps the prospects out of the lineup. The UFAs will play because they are paid NHL salaries.

smithers joe Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 they might decide that pettersson, gaudette, juolevi and hughes need a year of learning the nhl game in uttica. that will cut a lot of offense from this group, but they have to do what is best for the players during their development. that would mean. our defense and scoring will be the same as last year. the only difference will be, that we are harder to play against.

I see Gaudette and Dahlen starting in Utica. Pettersson and Hughes are NHL players. Juiolevi is a real question mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c00kies Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Well, he could probably waive Gagner without much worry either way (claim=meh, unclaimed=meh, good for injuries). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they can make room for Quinn and Olli too. I feel that Goldobin would be the last forward on your list. With that said, I fully expect that one, or a few of Gagner, Granlund, Del Zotto will be dealt before camp to make room for Petttersson and Joulevi.

I agree with all those guys starting in Utica, except for Pettersson and Hughes. They will get a lot of minutes here, especially Hughes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewbieCanuckFan Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 1 hour ago, HerrDrFunk said: Besides, wasn't Corrado the last "notable" player that the Canucks lost to waivers? How's he doing these days? He *did* look fairly good (considering he was a rookie) in the few post-season (when the games really count) games he did manage to get in. Probably a good reason not to get too hyped over prospects (not all will succeed - but it's good we have many so that it shouldn't hurt us if one fails to meet expectations). Laffs screwed up his (Corrado) development (I think he was basically just a black ace on their roster - you get only so much better watching the game vs actually being in game action).

Is that a major loose...no, but it does take away from the whole, and in the case of Goldobin, he is a good asset you would not like to see leave for nothing. VERY few players of any consequence are ever lost to waivers. Name one key Canuck lost over even the last 10 years to waivers. Teams are all full themselves in terms of NHL and even AHL contracts and would have to drop a player or more themselves....plus all the CAP implications (why often a player can readily clear waivers and then be traded as in a trade you can take care of CAP issues). Further, even if a player is lost on waivers it is not for "nothing" as people keep saying. Freeing up a contract spot is wroth something. Sometimes it is worth a lot. PLUS, showing all those competing for spots that IF you are not a rookie and have been there a while and have not 'emerged', you may simply be waived as the organization is not going to stick with stagnant players. Creating a competitive culture of excellence includes personnel moves that include saying goodbye on occasion. Anyway, my main point is the "waiver bogeyman" is often invoked by posters on CDC and I ask, why? What evidence from the past is there that waivers have impacted this (or any) team in the league?

Schmautzie Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Goldobin will be the most interesting decision the Canucks will have to make. He’s the one guy that would not make it through waivers unclaimed. Given the right team and line mates I think he could put up a lot of points on this league. I’d rather see him traded for a draft pick than lose him for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeridebc Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Petterson made the prestigious tsn fantasy top 250. I think he's going to play. Hughes too. I think the likes of Hutton, Goldobin, will be traded. Maybe Gagne too, to allow Gaudette to play. Maybe even Sutter by the time season starts. Tanev - Hughes Gudbranson - Edler Pouliot- stetcher Biega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Every year, people are concerned of losing players to waiver but we never do. The only exception was Corrado, which wasn't really a loss. The fact is every team has some Motte, McEneny, McEwen or Sautner in their pipeline and every team will put similar player to waivers. So, all the stars need to be aligned for one of our players to get claimed on waivers. If it happens, I highly doubt we give away anything more than a 4th liner or depth defenseman. We won't lose any Wayne Gretzky's on waiver. People need to realize that these players need to stay in the NHL if a teams claimed them...if these guys can't make one of the worst line-up in hockey...who is really going to pick them up??? Classic overreaction/overhyped prospects. Benning won't lose any sleep over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come waivers in October, EVERY team has a Goldobin or two and most teams have CAP issues and certainly all have contract space issues. Players better than Goldy are waived at the start of each season - rarely do they get picked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides having a much better 4th line, this team is actually worse than last year's. If via injury if nothing else, we need to find a way to start injecting the youth into this team. I think it would do Hughes some good to spend a couple weeks in the AHL until he is called up. And if his camp looks amazing, I have zero issues with him in Pouliot's spot. As far as that last forward spot goes, I think it is Pettersson's to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially ones who are concerned about their salary cap situation. Goldobin could be a good cost-controlled option. Tampa Bay and Washington are two teams that come to mind that have had past success with skilled Russian players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Canucks like that player better. Point is, I still think it is at best a hypothetical concern. Name a key Canuck lost to waivers in their entire near 50 year history. Why on earth would that history change this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
