Popular Post aGENT Posted April 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2021 Meh. Bit of a loss on paper but Gaudette was an ill fit in the bottom 6 with an abysmal defensive game. Not a great return but once again a huge overreaction here for swapping of two marginal players. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noble 6 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I liked Highmore for the Blackhawks against the Oilers in the bubble. With that said, the value on this deal is quite low. I don't mind the fact that he was moved, but at least he was showing that at worst he could contribute offense from the bottom 6 with his shot and finishing. He could have found a role here, even if it was lower than the 3C spot we were hoping for. As it stands right now, the Canucks lost value on this deal. This leads me to believe that it had more to do with shipping out Gaudette than it did with bringing in Highmore. Whether that's because management didn't feel he was dedicated enough, he wasn't fitting in the locker room or he has shown careless behavior away from hockey (COVID) is all just speculation right now. I wouldn't be surprised if he does light it up in Chicago, for a short time at least. I'm not sure where Highmore fits in next year. On LW, we have Pearson locked in, one of Podkolzin or Hoglander, Roussel, Motte and Highmore. Miller could also go back to LW on the lotto line as well. Hopefully that means a trade is coming, namely moving Roussel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't care. Covid will covid. Blaming a guy for doing something that is allowed under both health orders, and team rules, is extremely wrong. 2 minutes ago, tkanuk said: If you think this is about Gauds bringing Covid to the team, stop it. You’re being very silly. I think this was about a large part of the 'fan" base being unable to let go of the very damaging narrative of this outbreak being Gaud's fault. The next few years of Gauds playing here would have absolutely been brutal for the guy. Canucks are a huge supporter of mental health, so they did the correct thing and moved the guy out of this carpstorm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bringing back a contract spot is worse if the rationale is that Lind is ready. Exactly...that's why I'm stumped by this , unless they want Highmore in Utica ( we need centers in the a) I am excited to see what lind can do in his spot.

Popular Post Angry Goose Posted April 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2021 I think this is a question worth considering: who has the higher floor Lind or Gaudette? If you think Lind has more potential to become a serviceable NHL'r, seems prudent to use a protection spot on him 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierdaddy Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Just saw this painful reminder on Sportsnet ... the Canucks last 5 years - 13th, 13th, 14th, 12th, West semis. How does GMJB still have a job?! Love the team. Hate the management. Oh and still don’t like Gaudette trade. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks have already officially refuted that the infected individual did anything wrong, so if any part of ownership/management's decision to trade Gaudette had to do with turning sour on him because he contracted COVID, they aren't rational or competent thinkers and shouldn't be in their positions. As much as people dislike Benning, I don't think that's the case. Edited April 12, 2021 by Grape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
