Absolutely agree, 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will up his value significantly.........he's not going to get that chance in Van And what happens if he does show well after 15 games? At some point, it will hurt for someone who gave it his all in preseason and "earned" a shot to stick in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he ends up in Utica all season, how does that hurt him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. But only because he still needs to work on the defensive side of his game. I want to start looking at the long view like contending teams do. If we just jettison unpopular players and lose them to waivers, then when we get our inevitable injuries , we will be in the same boat that we've been in the past several seasons. I would much rather have NHL ready players step in so we can keep up a decent level of play rather than fading down the stretch. Gaudette was very good offensively, but he made some rookie errors on the defensive side. There's nothing wrong with him polishing that side of his game with bigger minutes and a more central role in Utica. If he stays up, I have no problem with that as well. I just hope we don't lose anyone to waivers and then end up fading later in the season. As I said before, we get a lot of injuries so he would end up on the team eventually. I also think that by sending him down that it will open up a possibility for a trade later when other teams suffer injuries and some of their younger players don't work out at which point Gaudette can step into the line-up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieChan Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Most teams have 12 or 13 forwards on their NHL roster's We currently have 16 forwards our NHL roster which is more than any other NHL team so JB is going get a couple forwards off of our NHL rosters. Tim Schaller one guy JB is looking to trade if finds a team that will pick him up on waivers. Goldobin is project that has never been above to put points in any position at the NHL level & why his contract is low we no longer have a roster position for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 When we have a few floaters in the line up, is that the culture we're creating? Just bench Goldy or Jake. Waiver LE, and park him in the press box if he's so valuable. Pray some team claims him. Gaudette can do what Stecher and Hutton did. Come in and help us right away. Watching floaters in the bottom of the roster is boring and frustrating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comeback_Kings Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 9 hours ago, the grinder said: you wanna keep goldy schaller and ericsson over sutter pearson and leivo , and then gaudette on the second line the best roster they can ice wont have goldy ericsson or schaller on the ice hey Grinder... thanks for quoting me and giving it the lame facepalm... just thinking outside the box ahead of last night's game. Everyone is talking about how great our top 6 is, but in truth the line of Pearson Horvat Miller did not impress in the preseason. Sutter is not a play making centre and I don't think he can play wing on Beagle's line because they get in the way of each other, so where is Sutter going to play? Also, maybe Eriksson contributed a lot to the late season success of the Horvat Pearson combo? Leivo played alright last night, but I'm not sold on Pearson and think Sutter should be traded, and if not traded, thinking outside the box, I thought it might be possible for Sutter to find some chemistry playing right wing with Horvat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
