He was a positive +/- player and had 2 points leading into last nights game. Makes me wonder if this is an opportunity for him to get more comfortable around the guys. Could see breezer in the NHL very soon as an extra D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Fantenberg injured and Brizzy being a left handed defender, it makes sense why he's still around. He'll be on the team until Fantenberg is ready to play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely due to waivers The following players have been designated for assignment: Bachman, Richard Graovac, Tyler Ya they are both waiver or eligible. You have to designate if you want to send them down to waive them and keep them at the NHL if they clear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he's being groomed for a good role on this team. I can see him being a solid 3rd liner some day as he has more offensive awareness than a typical 4th liner. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalCanuckFan Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Have to think MacEwen will be top call-up option. I know he has been played at C before but my guess is he'll come up as a winger call-up with Graovac the top center call-up. Will be very interesting to see what management does with Gaudette, Virtanen and Goldobin in the coming days. Obviously Eriksson, Schaller and Motte are also part of the mystery here. I personally don't think Gaudette's play has made Sutter expendable (at least not right now), but Gaudette definitely deserves a spot on this team. With Fantenberg and Boeser out, assuming there's an LTIR option, perhaps they can delay having to make any significant decisions. Given the fact that they're eventually going to have to make at least one or two significant roster moves (factoring in Roussel), maybe they'll choose to just get something done now rather than kick the can down the road. If I had to place a bet then I would assume the Canucks will kick the can down the road but this is the first year in many that there's been this level of healthy competition.

Popular Post Jtutino Posted September 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2019 Why all the hate for Pearson. There's only 3 players at camp that scored more goals in the NHL last year then he did. He's averaged 18 goals over the last 4 yrs. not to mention hes only 26 and has won a Stanley cup. I think a 3rd line of pearson gaudette virtanen would provide the scoring depth we're looking for. Pearson scored 18 last yr Virt 15 and it looks like Gaud offensive game is turning around. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlastPast Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Cannot believe how worked up some people get over training camp/pre-season. Do these people think Edler is about to lead the league in scoring ? Or that Jayson Megna is a 40 goal scorer ? I don't think it would be terrible for Gaudette to go to Utica and continue to build his confidence. If he tears it up for 10 games- or less - you can always recall him at a later date. I think that would be preferable to starting him in the NHL and possibly having a not-so-good start and it extinguishing that confidence. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gaudette gets dropped that will go against the integrity of the preseason and training camp. He is leaps and bounds better than some of the other bubble players in Jake and Goldy (not to mention the overpaid pile of poo Eriksson). 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spook007 Posted September 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2019 2 hours ago, aGENT said: I'm not sure you can declare anything about a potential trade, without knowing the return. This isn't so much about what Jake is capable of, he's (capable of being) a solid 3rd liner. Maybe more. It's about his commitment. His buy in. This team is QUICKLY improving and it will be staffed with people who are going to PUSH. Not people doing 'ok' or getting by. Jake can decide to be part of that or he can continue doing what he has been. On a positive note, if anyone can get that out of him, it's probably Green. But the team's only going to wait so long for him to figure it out. And on a healthy squad with Gaudette and MacEwan starting to push from below (and more coming behind them sooner than later) his time to 'buy in' is running out. On a healthy lineup he easily starts getting pushed to the fringes without a full, committed effort: Ferland, Pettersson, Boeser Pearson, Horvat, Miller Baer, Sutter, Leivo Motte, Beagle, Eriksson/Schaller/Virtanen ...with Gaudette, MacEwan and soon Hoglander, Podkolzin etc breathing down his neck. That is in no way a secure roster position to be 'relaxing'. Add Roussel to the mix as well, and they are running out of spots rapidly... the train is moving, and without 100% commitment it will be hard to find room on this team... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strongly believe that with a better D-core Edler can improve his offensive numbers. He has been the best D-man we had in the past years, and looks the best we have right now. Having a better support and better offensive cast might pump up his game. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Hoping, opening night: Ferland - Pettersson - Boeser Baertschi - Horvat - Miller Pearson - Gaudette - Sutter Leivo - Beagle - Virtanen Edler - Myers Hughes - Tanev Benn - Stecher Rafferty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 1 hour ago, Gassy Jack said: Waive Baer? Boys with new toys... you guys think Leivo and Pearson are1st/2nd liners? Theres a reason they were in the doghouse and we got them for cheap... I would be happy if they can keep it up, but I'm not sold. Neither has a higher ceiling than Baer I think you're right on here. I like Pearson, but I think Leivo is a likey "unlikely" candidate. He has spurts of good play, but then disappears for long stretches. That said, I don'tthink they are going to sacrifice depth unless they absolutely have to. gaudette, despite earning his spot, is the logical move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
