It's not like he's a UFA and could simply say no thanks to a contract offer like what we are doing with Edler. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmidt wore 29 for the U of Minnesota.. and #2 for the Hershey Bears. 88 happened when he started with the Capitals apparently. seems like he would take 88,. Just curious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they were to deal him, as, for example, a principal in a deal for a guy like Foote (or other young RHD) ..then, this is a nice moveable Covid context cap hit. you got a foote fetish eh oldnews, but yeah that would be decent, even though it would suck too lose guad, need some size in our D corp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also be looking at Timmins in Colorado. As much as I like Gaud, I'm not opposed to a hockey trade for a defenseman with some size in the same age group. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already several players signed for 2.5 to 3.0 million with similar numbers as Jake.. So 2.5 would be a deal at this point...

DownUndaCanuck Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Would be nice to lock him up long term at some point but we just don't know how good he's going to be yet. One year deals until he consistently gets some NHL production but I worry if he breaks out this season, we'll struggle to sign all our young guys. Lots of money off the books but if Gaudette hits 20 goals and 50 points we have to pay the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prefer this to what we did with Hutton and Stecher, with the qualifying offer ending up being too high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logic Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Gauds profession this year should hopefully Be like “upgrading” our bottom 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCanuck94 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Nice contract. Reality is he has a lot of improving to do. Harman mentioned he was the most sheltered forward in the league and analytically his stats were terrible. On an eye test, he needs to take major steps defensively and start to become a PKer if he is to complete our team build. Rooting for the kid to prove me wrong and take major steps this year! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think he may be redundant if he can’t alter his game a bit. Not that he’s a bad player or that it’s a bad signing. I just think that he isn’t going to supplant Petey or Bo, then he either needs to learn the d side of center, shift to LW, or get moved for someone else. I wish him the best no matter the outcome, love having this guy in our lineup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would help him with his overall defensive game learning from those two, plus I also wanna see how much his production increases. 33pts in 59gp on the third line is pretty decent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milk and honey Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Who is expected to make the roster this year? Really feel we can make conference finals if not the finals this year. I really like the direction of the team especially in a shorter season that will help us with our injury luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 950k 0.5 PPG young C vs a ? in cost, streaky player. I think I know a safe bet when I see one. But value-wise or trade value-wise... I think it’s probably JV, but with some ifs and buts, which AG doesn’t require, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both had a case to get more than their worth on the open market. Gaudette will have arbitration rights in a year and could file. This year his production would have warranted an award a fair bit higher than the 950K he took. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
