Lancaster Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 While I do believe that AG still have more to give.... I will reserve judgement until after Highmore plays a whole season for the Canucks (assuming he does). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vermette9 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Definitely stumped by this one but have to think the nucks brass thinks Kole kind is ready and has waay more jam then gauds. Still don't really get this move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c00kies Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I'm hoping this is Vanek for Motte or at the very worst, a Glendening for Forsling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is he so in-love with players that produce so little on the ice? Why is he still having a job? The strength of this management is drafting but they refuse to acquire draft picks. /shrug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theo5789 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 First thought that came to mind for me is that maybe they're going to give Lind a good look to finish the year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilya Mikheyev Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Just now, kanucks25 said: Sure. But that doesn't justify trading him for an even more bad player. So again, something smells, and it may not just be Benning this time. Highmore plays a diff role. He's a winger, he's gritty, he brought something to his team in the playoffs, he overcame being passed over the draft due to his size to show that he could bring it at the pro levels and was a great AHL rookie. Has another year a 725k so he could be a cheap bottom sixer on a team which has a lot of money skewed to the bottom. Low risk decent reward. Plus, Gaudette not taking up any more ice team. Pce out Gauddy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Blankenship Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 One positive we can take from this is that we won’t have to see Gaudette’s brutal flow anymore. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post stawns Posted April 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2021 The usual suspects are on the ledge again over a relatively minor trade that likely won't matter one iota in the long run. Gaud was never going to bet into a top 6 role here and he's not good enough for a bottom 6 role. POssible outside reasons aside, this was a move for a better fit 4 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say They trade a for a guy who they hope can follow Motte's development path Def hard to say, I'm prepared to wait and see how it plays out. I'll root for the new guy, I liked Adam though. 3 minutes ago, 250Integra said: Wouldn't be surprised if this was true. She did get a lot of flack on twitter in recent weeks, resulting in her deactivating her account. My guess is he was becoming a distraction and putting his focus on building his personal brand through the Canucks. I mean, all the Twitch streaming, creating his own apparel line, viral videos, etc... That's my thinking for sure, I could see him requesting one for her sake. The second part, I dunno? So long as it doesn't hurt the team I don't think they'd mind, the Canucks don't seem to have any issue with Petey being an individual? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 18 pages in, Gaudette and covid mentioned in at least 4 posts per page. 2 of those posts blaming him or his wife for getting the team sick. Once again thank you Jim for getting the player out of this cesspool of negativity. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
