Popular Post VegasCanuck Posted April 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2021 Just now, Pickly said: Gaudette had 33 points last year. Look at Highmores career production. This is only the Canucks selling low. I view this as, Benning feels that Lind is ready for the NHL and that he needed to make room for him. I believe Gaudette also had arbitration rights this coming summer, whereas Highmore is signed at a nice cap friendly rate of 725k for another season. Highmore has potential, as does Gaudette. Will see how it plays out, but I think this is just making room for someone else to move up. 1 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -SN- Posted April 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2021 Really weird how people are framing this as because Gaudette supposedly gave the team Covid (with nothing to back that up). That's a serious accusation to throw around with no evidence, and also a ridiculous defense of management. 6 2 1 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we need to protect him? Why would Seattle take him? And if they did, we would be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not knocking Highmore, and he’s a Canuck, so I’ll soon learn to love him (like every player that wears our colours), but this seems like a bad trade. Gaudette is only one year off a 33 points in 59 game season. He just figured out his dietary issues, and likely will be able to get bigger and stronger over the coming years. Has proven a lot more than Highmore, and is a better bet to be the superior NHLer long term. Feels like a trade we will regret. Only question is how much? Remember when the Canucks got Naslund for Stojanov?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo2337 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 1 minute ago, Provost said: Wouldn’t it have been better to just waive Gaudette than take on a contract spot? An undrafter, undersized winger with no offence as the return seems worse than nothing. I can’t believe there wasn’t a 3rd round pick to be had at least. Cue the apologists suddenly saying that Gaudette was bad in the room and the Covid thing was at fault. Public health and the doctors said that the outbreak wasn’t due to anyone breaking rules. This.

Some are fine with reaching these days to justify a poorly thought out trade. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Jim Benning said this three days ago: Quote “I think it's more the human side of things,” the GM explained. “They've dealt with a lot in the last couple of weeks, getting the virus themselves and running through families and stuff. And I just don't think (trading them) is the right thing to do at this point in time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem with people who live in their own reality. It's like the people that say "jumbo should have just signed Pearson for 2 million" or "could have offered Tampa a 4th round pick cause Miller is a cap dump" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to admit, I don't know anything about Highmore.... but from what I can see, he doesn't look like anything to be excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
