My point, is that when they realize that the season is a wash, they do things differently from the way the Canucks are doing it; did not mention anything about there previous records...

You have to get your stick in line towards the puck. only after the pass does he attempt to get his stick infront. here is a good 2 minute video on what he was supposed to do. if he reacted quick enough ther may have been only ten feet between the players instead of twenty, meaning there would be less time for the defenceman to make a play there is a reason he played the least amount of time for both teams.

I know it's a Canucks ritual to bash outgoing players, but I saw the 7 minutes he played. He really does seem like a limited dimension type player.

Granted it’s mostly a biased opinion. The Majority have said he’s a hard working guy but he doesn’t have any upside whatsoever. Kinda like us talking about Jake and his inconsistency.

Kesler was selected in the 1st round. Gaudette in the 5th. The fact he made it to over 100 games, let alone produced decent offense (in a more sheltered role for sure), is pretty much the equivalent of a statistical anomoly. The Kesler comparisons always interested me because as a player he has never really played the same style as Kesler. It was always simply a hope and a prayer that would be who he ended up being. People are desperate to slag Gaudette at every opportunity, seemingly to justify Benning trading him when his value was lowest for a guy who apparently had lost his 4th line energy job on the Hawks. Canucks fans, especially a lot here on CDC, are among the stupidest among nhl fan bases when it comes to objectively evaluating young players and prospects and comparing them to which former Canuck they need to become in order to not be considered garbage. Its either all out unrealistic hype a player could never possibly live up to or out of this world "player x is a bust because he didn't become player y" mentality on here. Often in the same breath. Gaudette was never going to become Kesler. That's not his game at all. Virtanen is not going to become Bertuzzi or Cam Neely. Same reasons. The Canucks themselves need to stop wanting players to become some former Canuck icon and start developing them based on their own strengths and weaknesses and getting the most out of them. Even if that means in a trade to improve other areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Gaudette played 7 minutes against Nashville and registered his first assist as a Blackhawk. I know people talk about his sheltered minutes playing on a 4th line with lots of offensive zone starts, but he does produce when given the time whereas not many others do. Sure, he's a bit sloppy defensively, but there are lots of high-flying teams like the Blackhawks who will use him to his best. PPG so far let's see how he goes... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
