CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 In the grand scheme of things, it would suck to lose Gadjovich but its not a claim that I would lose sleep over. 31 teams are in the same conundrum of pairing down their players and team. There are tons of decisions and so many roster spots. A team would have to really really like him to claim him give him a look and decide he is better than some of the other fringe NHL players. Its possible, but in the end Jonah Gadjovich is an alright player. Had a strong camp and preseason in terms of establishing a baseline, but he didn't really generate enough in my mind to say yup he is ready for prime time. With him improving his skating and fitness quite honestly is not a huge development improvement rather it brought him to baseline of where Travis Green expects NHL quality players to be at. IMO, Jonah still needs to show more before we can consider him an NHL entity. Yes quite possibly deserved a look with the big club, butI'm not overly concerned about him being claimed or not.

hammertime Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 He will clear! Bit of a gamble here by JB but if he sneaks Jonah through we are in much better shape depth wise with Motte Sutter out. I wonder if this means Lockwood makes the team. I would be ecstatic for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we know this to be a basic truth for coaches, this assertion goes against any objective standard that he may pretend to employ. It's clear as day that Juolevi is in this doghouse within a doghouse. We've seen this with Virtanen (to an extent). We've seen this with Goldobin. We've seen this abundantly with Player Name. We've also seen this yearly with Juolevi. There is no way that Rathbone is ahead of Juolevi, based on this preseason. He's been gifted offensive minutes, including PP time and has zero points to show for this. Given how the team has been on the PK a lot, Juolevi does the things that Rathbone seemingly can't do - defend in his own end. Make no mistake, I do not hate Rathbone. I just do not like it when coaches set different standards for players. This times 1000. Juolevi hasn’t been lights out but he has been pretty steady at what we need on the 3rd pairing and the PK with the current group. If he is waived he will be claimed. If Hunt is, he won’t. Rathbone won’t be hurt at all playing all situations in Abbotsford. Also, the way Baumgartner deploys the defense, having an all offense type D is going to be ugly. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiving Juolevi is just an indication that he is playing favourites, and that is not something I would want in a coach. Seriously, Rathbone is super exciting, but he's done little besides flash and dash. How do you slot in a defenseman that doesn't have other tools in his box yet? Rathbone is a great prospect, but he is no Quinn Hughes and thus, he cannot be given the same kind of leash that Hughes gets for being a playdriver. I will feel similar if Lockwood gets sent down and Chiasson gets a contract. Which I strongly suspect will happen. Highmore is another guy who has shown nothing but because they gave up Gaudette for him I bet he will be on the 3rd line with Miller. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Benning redeemed himself for me in many ways with all the changes this summer. This is a solid roster. But a new coach not tied to certain players despite their performance or certain players crazy glued to each other (Horvat and Pearson most notably) while not trying out different looks makes me wonder if keeping Green was a mistake. I know keeping Baumgartner was one. Shaw has clearly not been given the autonomy he thought he was getting there. The team is playing the same offense and defense style that we disastered with last year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that he's babying Rathbone and seemingly ignoring his weaknesses to the game. If Rathbone isn't scoring, he's not helping the Canucks in any other way. Green needs to understand this. If we're totally being honest, Juolevi has outplayed Rathbone because Rathbone doesn't really kill penalties, yet the Canucks have been on the PK a lot this preseason. Juolevi's been relied on to kill these penalties and has done a really good job doing so. I think the Canucks would benefit from Juolevi making the team, rather than Rathbone. Totally agree. My opinion on this has shifted the last few weeks tbh. I think Rathbone is clearly NHL ready on the offensive side. And he is even reasonable on the defensive side for a young guy. But he is not what the defense needs right now. A D that has Hughes, OEL, and Myers isn’t starving for offense. It’s in need of someone to kill penalties and defend. Juolevi is a far more steady defensive option on the 3rd pairing. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been noticeable in games we've played against them. He would be a good signing. Highmore is a role guy who handled ice time pretty well last year. If he makes the club it could be based on this. Hopefully he ends up as the 13th guy at best once Sutter and Motte are back. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just had his best season so far in the AHL and has improved every year. 12 points in 19 games.. His scouting report literally talks about him being a hard worker and already having NHL speed. Let him round out his IQ and add a little more muscle and then at 23/24 he’ll probably be Tampa Bays next Yanni Gourde. B- prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
