Provost Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 1 minute ago, Devron44 said: Just curious why? He’s signed for league minimum. We have 48 of 50 contract spots used up. Adding a contract for a guy that isn’t an NHLer and uses up a contract space next year doesn’t say that you are clearing a spot for younger players. Leave the contract spaces for taking on players with potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkanuk Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 If you think this is about Gauds bringing Covid to the team, stop it. You’re being very silly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad_BOI_pete Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 29 minutes ago, SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME said: Highmore does have potential. I definitely don’t hate the pickup (when looking at it separately from the trade). He’s smallish (not really small at 5’11”, 180ish), but feisty, plays bigger than his size, and has no fear of going hard to the net. Owns elite level speed, and plays a solid 200ft game. Lots to like with this player. But the trade has to be judged on value today, and there’s no way Highmore is currently viewed as a higher value asset than Gaudette. The trade is a loss, even if we win. Value today is not close to equal. But hopefully Highmore proves to be the better player, longterm. But we should have got more for Gaudette than this. That’s not knocking Highmore. I hope he works out and becomes a lineup regular with a long, successful career in Vancouver. no it doesn't work like that. if no one wanted him no one wanted him. jb is cutting his losses with gaudette, Jim said screw this kid your done.this is what he found, its better than letting him walk right?

Still don't really get this move. If Lind is ready to make the team, then that is one justification for the trade. The other possibility is that Gaudette requested a trade -- if he is indeed the one that caused this outbreak, it would have been difficult to remain on the team, knowing that you infected everyone on the team. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette had a 45 pro rated point season last year while on the 3rd line under 13 minutes a game. Highmore isn’t even regarded as much as Granlund was then and Granlund was 22 or 23 years old when we got him. Really don’t get this trade. Stop worrying about gaudettes 2019-20 point total so much and maybe worry about the fact he’s been the most sheltered player in the nhl for a reason.

Popular Post Provost Posted April 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) 2 minutes ago, stawns said: why, if his scouting report is accurate, he might be a solid bottom 6 fit, which Gaud was not You are right! SCOUTING REPORT Owns great offensive instincts, a projectable frame and plenty of all-around acumen. Can be used in all game situations. Can be a difference-maker whenever he is on the ice. Needs to fully fill out his 6-1 frame and get physically stronger in order to maximize output at the National Hockey League level. Also needs to sharpen his face-off and defensive skills. Long Range Potential: Talented, point-producing center with good upside. oh wait... that is Gaudette’s scouting report.

combover Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Now dumb Jim can resign sutter and use the excuse we don’t have depth at Center. Other gms must love JB he’s so easy to take advantage of. the plan must be to continue developing declining 30 year old veteran plugs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
