He was close to making the team in the pre-season and is a logical choice. What about some jam to protect the kids?! Why not Archibald or MacQueen?

No reason to take Schaller out. Gaudette has probably been recalled in case Pettersson can't go. Yeah I simply assumed Gaudette would be playing. Could just be an extra fwd like you say.

( especially if Seattle is also in the area ), but think that the pros and cons favour being in the East. No big deal either way, mainly cost, practice time and being away from the Botchfords of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckylager Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 With Beagle out for 4-6weeks this is a huge opportunity for Gaudette to prove he belongs and force JB's hand . Good luck Adam! Keep your head on swivel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had lost both their C1 and C2 in the off-season and were left with 2x 5'8 rookies so Baer at times played C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also really glad they ended up bringing Gaudette instead of moving Granny to C. Now could EP be out also for next game and Granny getting C also? I haven't heard an update on if he would be good to go again or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borderline Canuck Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Gaudette not in lineup at Utica today so probably true. They could have brought Gaunce up to replace Beagle but he's injured too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, the rabid Canucks fans would watch our young guys in Abbotsford and make the drive, but that also allows for our toxic media to drive out there as well and drown them with their negativity. Best to keep them far away where they can focus on hockey. Utica is a great hockey town and they've supported our team with passion since they've been there.

86Viking Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Does Green dare put Gaud in EP spot in the line up or is that a slap in the face to shut down C B. Sutter to have a rookie call up play higher up than you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to keep them far away where they can focus on hockey. Utica is a great hockey town and they've supported our team with passion since they've been there. Would it not be better to have prospects already use to our heavy travel schedule by having an Farm team closer to Van? Rather than get use to a cushy bus ride like say Philly then get a shock when they get the chance at the NHL. I dont think it matters either way. For us fans if we had our Farm team close it would be cool to watch them in person, thats my big push for it to get moved. Plus if Seattle gets a team it will likely be west coast so more west coast AHL teams = less travel!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancaster Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 First for recall for the centre position.... ahead of Gagner and Gaunce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gagner is never coming back here, and Gaunce in hurt I think. Gaudette might not ever go back down now. He’s going to play possessed, so he stays up for good.

Also add in that there's much less travel time in the East, which allows for more practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Lind, he is known to have a bit of an edge. He is also American reminds many,including myself, of a young Ryan Kesler in the WCE days. Gaudette is from Boston he aint getting punked by anyone. More likely he scraps. As for Lind he is a prairie boy so you know he is tough and is not afraid of playing greasy if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guance is garbage a waste of size with no grit or finish to his game other than when he is in the minors. Can't believe so many believe we're afraid of losing him on waivers.
