Dombrova22 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 All of you saying Gaudette is ' for sure utica bound ' are in for a big surprise. The kid has played amazing so far, and if he keeps it up and doesn't slow down, he will have a lock on the opening night roster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some fans tend to look at contract amounts and what you do for that contract instead of just looking at the player and what he brings skill wise. That's one of the main reasons LE is getting so much hate. If he was paid 1-2 million, not many would be complaining.

I agree that he has been amazing, but for asset management he needs to go down until a trade is made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Start of Season) Ferland Pettersson Boeser Edler Myers Markstrom Baertschi Horvat Miller Hughes Tanev Demko Pearson Sutter Eriksson Benn Stecher Leivo Beagle Virtanen Fantenberg Motte Goldobin Waived for Utica: Schaller and Biega Here is the Line Up once Roussel is game ready (Nov. 15th without Injuries) Ferland Pettersson Boeser Edler Myers Markstrom Baertschi Horvat Miller Hughes Tanev Demko Roussel Sutter Eriksson Benn Stecher Pearson Beagle Virtanen Fantenberg Motte Leivo Goldobin Here is the line Up after the TDL Ferland Pettersson Boeser Edler Myers Markstrom Pearson Horvat Miller Hughes Benn Demko Roussel Gaudette Eriksson Tryamkin Stecher Leivo Beagle * Virtanen Brisebois Motte Goldobin Possible Players Moved (Traded) Tanev...………..Tanev will become expendable if either Tryamkin signs or one of Brisebois/Juolevi play lights out. Benn plays well on the RHD. Sutter...………..No doubt Sutter is a stronger player than Gaudette, but short of Eriksson being traded, Benning has to clear cap Baertschi...……Baertschi needs to win his spot in the next 3 pre-season games. Pearson/Horvat/Miller is a heavy line and designed for the Playoffs *Virtanen...……"IF" Virtanen does not pick it up, and "IF" Benning feels there is someone to take his spot (Sutter?McEwen?) Jake is gone while he still has value. Jake is playing himself off the team, as it gets better. His give a $&!# factor is in question! We shall see! But, who in our system is better than Jake, long term? (3rd line..no one, 4th line...maybe McEwen?) Fantenberg…...Too much LHD talent to stick long term....great injury filler for someone.....I think Brisebois really surprised Players NHL Ready Gaudette...……Gaudette was an offensive star in College and he will be kept down to give him the minutes, but he is showing well. He could be kept as a RW But, IMO he has shown his whole career he can play Center. Time will tell if that is true. But he is NHL ready, that is for sure! Long term, it would be nice if he could improve his FO's and defensive play a little, as I see him as our 3rd line center of the future. Gotta be better in the FO circle! Brisebois...…...Brisebois, just looks so calm. He is a keeper, that is for sure. He is making me forget about getting Juolevi up asap, as quite frankly, he is better at this time. IMO, Brisebois, shows why the AHL is a great place to develop. McEwen...…….McEwen, has not made a big statemen, I was hoping for in pre-season, but then again, why would you expect a 4th liner to do that? He is a big body, with some solid skills, and puts in a strong effort every game. Jake should watch out for this guy Juolevi...……...Olli needs a break! And a whole season of success. IMO, he needs to stay down the season and be the "everything" player, he has the ability to be. IMO, Olli has the skills to be up, but not the reps. With Brisebois and Fanenberg already ahead of him, not to mention the possibility of Tryamkin's return. What is the rush? Tryamkin...…...Well? So, as much as I trumpet his return, it is far from being a sure thing. "IF" he comes back, he will make the Canuck defense, ominous, and certainly playoff ready. Sadly, I wonder how the Canucks will be able to keep him, if he does come back, as I am not sure he is Expansion Draft safe. But man, you have to admit, Edler, Myers, Benn, and Tryamkin, would scare the hell out of most forwards. Prospects to watch this year DiPietro...…….He is young, but I do not think he will be a NHL goalie (Sorry!) but he has the talent, just not the size. In saying that, players like him have had to fight their whole life to prove themselves.....DiPietro has done that. Here is to hoping I am wrong. Rathbone...…..Well, he played with Fox last year, and showed very well. Let's see what he has when he is the top dog. I have a nagging question with Rathbone Which is, being that Fox did not sign with his draft club and with the apparent depth at LHD that the Canucks have, will he even sign with us? I am hoping for big things with him this year, but I see him as a trading chip if he does. (Call me crazy!) Things change, let's see what happens. Madden...…….Great motor, smart, with great instincts. He will be interesting to watch. I hope he puts on some weight. He had a great first year, in the NCAA I hope he keeps on building on it, he could be our 3rd line center, if Gaudette moves to wing.....nice to have choices! Lind...…………Second year pro, that finished off last season much better. I think he looked great in our camps and pre-season. If he can continue his development and get a center to play with, I think he is a player you might see in 2 years. I have more faith in him than most. But I also know, that as long as this year has more improvement, that he has a chance. There is nothing wrong with a player taking 3/4 years to develop in the AHL. Woo...…...…….I am hoping he keeps on developing his offense. Last year, he just was not that far behind Montreal's Josh Brooks, who played on the U-20 National Team. I am hoping to see Jet, keep on developing. I thought he had a great development camp. A lot of hopes are pinned on him. Podkolzon and Hoglander………...both high end, skilled players...…...there is a lot to be excited about with these 2. Both will create a lot of discussion this year. Keppen and Focht……….I think Benning picked another couple of gems...….will be fun to see if they develop as they progress...…...consider them Bonus's Thanks for the insight into prospects. Worth the read. I agree with your assessment of likely starting lineup and post Roussel return lineup. Also hopeful about a triumphant Tryamkin return for a playoff run. Wondering if it would be wise to trade Sutter at the deadline if he's healthy. Faceoffs and the ensuing potential for puck possession can be the difference for a successful playoffs and as you stated, Sutter is a stronger player than Gaudette. Nice to have depth and options though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Look, and I say this respectfully, in a perfect world, I would not have Eriksson here, but that is because his Pay and play do not match...... Is he an Offensive weapon.....no! But as you pointed put his PK and defensive stats are acceptable...…….. The truth is, it will cost too much to get rid of him, and he does provide an veteran presence, which is good to have on a team I am no way claiming him as the second coming of Burrows or anyone for that matter, I think I am just stating the obvious reality...……. He will be here for the rest of the year...……...now, if Benning finds a way to get rid of him, that doesn't cost too much...…….. I am all for it! But in the mean time, a line of Roussel, Sutter and Eriksson, I believe would be very hard to play against Which is why I put him there...…….. If we send him to Utica he will retire. Perhaps a team grabs him for nothing on waivers,. That’s fine too. Let Leivo, Guadette, Goldobrin or Bartschi pencil in... and keep a clear message about having the clear ability to earn your way on to an NHL team, and not let your salary or history 4 years ago dictate the privilege to.

The coach and GM wants him to work out so he gets a free pass. If he was making 1-2 mill he would be a bubble player like Motte or Schaller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 There are a number of factors which could lead to LE's demotion: - To show owners are all-in, irrespective of cost - Gotta' earn your pay grade, it tells every player/prospect(action louder than words) - Don't go cryin' to press to try & force change from the outside. a lowly Kesler-tactic that don't go over well - Team needs speed & toughness(pack-mentality), this guy offers neither ...& in keeping AG up it encourages College prospects(Like Rathbone & Madden) you'll be given a real fair shake if you sign when the team thinks time is right. So I'd contend there are a host of reasons Loui gets the bus ticket..it might even encourage him to accept trade to anywhere(no restrictions) if they have a possible landing spot, he might have rather avoided. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s only his contract that is giving him the longetivity to compete for a spot right now... so by your account of this situation he shouldn’t be here.
