He was kinda my point I guess. I just hope I’m wrong about all this cause right now it doesn’t seem right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballisticsports. Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Maybe SJS owe us a future considerations and did this favour for us, only to release him for us to reclaim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do it for future flexibility/certainty if they decide to send him to the AHL. That would mean they still wanted him here for now So why woudl they waive him... So frustrating.

I suppose this means that SJS genuinely thinks he can make their NHL team. They're pretty bad so it seems plausible, but the Canucks could claim him back if SJS decides he doesn't make the cut. Although there were lots of things to be hopeful about in Gadjovich's case, last year was the really bright shining year in his development after a pretty dismal start. Maybe it's one of those things where the coaches have formed a bias over the years of evaluating Gadjovich's abilities, or maybe they're right and he won't even be able to cut it with SJS. We'll find out soon. I for one think that this might be a mistake, but hopefully not one in the order of giving up on a guy who becomes a top-6 or even solid top-9 NHLer. For me, he was showing potential to eventually have some decent trade value. That’s I think bother me most about this…the asset management aspect. If there is no roster spot, that’s fine. But given another year in the A (again, yes he has to clear) and if he maintained the same progression, he could have become an trade chip if we couldn’t use him. Instead, another piece disappears for nothing. To make room for a PTO. A PTO who very likely could be waived once Sutter or Motte return. I hope I’m wrong but this seems like a wasted opportunity.

Ya that’s why there’s no misses in the 1st round of the draft (Virtanen, Juolevi just to name recent Canucks). Professionals aren’t that great either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And aqua man wont be happy to pay someone to sit at home to do nothing We're already seeing the same red flag issues on the ice as we have the last few seasons. Whether it's preseason or not the same consistent problems us arm chair gms keep pointing out are incredibly evident in the on ice product and scrimmages. Now we see the same issues with coaching evaluation on players. Very specific types of veteran players with very redundant skill sets chosen over younger hungrier players with yet unknown ceilings.

If Green can't get it together by New Years he has to go. It ultimately comes down to the GM. If Benning wanted Gadjovich on the team, he would be on the team. Just like Loui Player Name and all the other useless veterans he shoehorns on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or because he can stand in front of the net on the PP and not much else (Chiasson), skate fast and nothing else (Highmore), or be an offense only player on the 4th line C spot (Petan). The reality is no one fighting for the bottom 6 spots are particularly well rounded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
