I mean... someone who believes that people who contract COVID are at fault simply because they contracted COVID shouldn't be in high-end decision making position. It's a failure of simple logical thinking. I'm not out here arguing what qualifications are need to be a GM and who fits those qualifications lol It's just a very backwards line of thinking that I doubt any GM, including Benning, would go by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ur a Towel Posted April 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2021 Why do I keep hearing people saying AG has "so much potential"? He's turning 25 this year. He is what he is now, he's not going to grow much anymore. I'm completely fine with this trade, gives AG a chance with Chicago and he wasn't going to become anything with us. Takes away someone we might have potentially protected in the expansion draft and clears his salary out. I swear people are just starting to bash Benning and the Canucks management for the sake of it now without actually thinking anything through. 3 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone forget Jared McCann? I wonder how he is doing in Pittsburgh? For Motte atleast we sold an expiring asset for a younger player who can play the bottom 6. This time we sold a player of similar age with higher upside. It makes 0 sense. And McCann was later reveal to have a bad attitude in the room. I have not heard anything regards to this aspect for Adam Gaudette, guys seems to like Gaudette from what I can see. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screw Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 One thing you appreciate about Highmore is his work ethic and attention to detail,” Colliton said. “It’s hard to find a bigger team guy with his willingness to do the right thing for the team at all times.... Hopefully he can use this to get a little boost and new opportunity.” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 So, apparently BOS wanted Gaudette before? I'd be very curious what they were offering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck-lifer Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Highmore looks like a better fit for Bottom 6 role then Gauds, but still dreamed Gauds had potential as a top 6 wingers. Dreamer , nothing but a dreamer obviously really just a meh for meh trade to save some cap money with expansion coming up which they'll need this summer. Good time to remember the Vanek for Motte trade where everyone called out JB for bringing in a Meh player..... time will tell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I always felt Gaudette was disgustingly overrated by CDC, but even I am left scratching my head here. Are we that hurting on LW we traded a center for one? He's not even that good either. Averaging 8:50 a game on Chicago, 2 assists on the season. I dunno man. This deal is kinda poop. Ngl. We'll see though, maybe this guy will for some reason have an epiphany and become something useful here. I think I am well beyond the point of defending Benning and I am starting to think we may need new leadership in the front office. Highmore feels like a straight downgrade on Gaudette. Time will tell though. Hopefully we can get more out of Highmore than Chicago. Cause it's hard to get less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, to trade a proven young NHL talent for this commodity lends its self to adding fuel to the fire raging on JB’s effectiveness as GM. For the sake of the fans, I hope that other info begins to surface which will address the logistics of this trade. I’m not at all convinced that we need another Motte more than we do a decent middle 6 guy who was ready for more responsibility. Motte is great, but easily enough to outright buy during the off-season, etc. Why trade for it? Who do you have in mind? I think in a flat cap those players become extremely valuable and suddenly become worth a lot more than they should be. The easiest solution is to fill the line up with more ELCs we got at least two in Podz and Hogs but good proven bottom six forwards can maybe cost a premium. Hopefully not a 3x3 premium but you get the drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Coconuts Posted April 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2021 I don't particularly like the trade right now, but I'm not going to pretend I know much of anything about Highmore. This opens a spot for Lind, who's a pending rfa and who will likely require waivers next season. I dunno about the rest of you, but assuming he requires waivers, would you want to develop a player like Lind and then lose him via waivers? Gaudette was never going to take over for Sutter as a center, he hasn't proven he's able to handle those kind of minutes. With Hoglander looking like a keeper and Podz on the way, who was he going to displace in the top six? Boeser, Miller, Petterrson, Pearson, Hoglander, and Podz sounds pretty good to me. He hasn't blown us away this season in a middle six role, though it's worth noting he's certainly not the only player to have underwhelmed. I'd have liked to have gotten more for Gaudette, but I don't have a problem with him having been moved. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
