Getting Gaudette signed would be outstanding. Couple years in Utica and he could be a stud
- CanuckDon

Nothing wrong with another year of college for him.

The exact same thing was said of Gaudette all last season.
There's no sure fire bet that any of these kids find success in the NHL.

I would also note that Gaudette is being flanked by two other guys who are in the top 5 in NCAA scoring.

I would wager that there's a higher probability that this former 5th round pick turns more so into a Cassels then a future NHL "2nd line Center".
- Whiskey-Tango

Perhaps. I am not sure what your point is other than you would like to argue? I want to see Gaudette in Utica and I am not penciling him into Van's lineup. Also, Gaudette is playing with Sikura and not Reese.

Does he still think the Leafs stink?
- PhillySportsGuy

Yes, but strangely, he says he'd support a young Canucks team even if they lose. So I'm guessing he'd think a young Canucks team would also stink and not think very much of them....he's confusing at best.

I'll take that wager💰

I don't think he will either but i can see him being traded for a 6 th round pick
- VANTEL

I look forward to the hysteria. It should eclipse the Lack freak out.

He probably has as many healthy scratches as he does goals.

He will never play for the Canucks.
- Marwood

Subban and Burrows for.....anything

It is surprising that Calgary would buy a rental when they may not make the playoffs
- CanuckDon

Who cares, (frank) Calgary.

- boonerbuck

True...also nothing wrong with a year in Utica for him.

I'm with Vantel. Who gives a rats ass over the rookie scoring race. Lol
- Nighthawk

I suspect we would if one of those players played on our team

I know Benning said he thinks CBJ will give up the second round pick this year.

I agree about the little movement at TDL.

For the Canucks I can't see them playing Miller all this time and then just trading him and letting Markstrom finish the year cold with no support. Great move for tank nation but not a good move for a team trying to win.

I think Markstrom will be dealt in the off season . 9.6 Mill is too expensive for a goalie combo like that.

I think Benning might try to trade Subban or Pedan this off season for a mid to late round pick after the expansion draft.

It will be a busy year with Gudbrandson and Bo needing a new contract along with Tryamkin and Gaunce
- VANTEL

I hope they trade Gudbrandson just so I can avoid the entire year of people freaking out about his contract on here.... I feel dread... luckily, I'm fishing like a mad man then and when it get like that, I just log off for a couple of months.

What are you talking about Cassels isn't close to the prospect Gaudette is and folks want to see him in Utica not Van
- CanuckDon

I'm mostly just pointing out that many had Cassels penciled in the lineup after his memorial cup performance. Just like people are penciling in Gaudette at this point.

Players rarely turn out the way we hope/expect.

Who cares, (frank) Calgary.

- CanuckDon

Peace & quiet.

Yeah the Flyers team +/- looks like a Bob Hope Chrysler Classic leaderboard.
- Scooby_Doo

We should figure out a simple friendly 1st round draft pool on here. No need to manage it. The draft position is the score or something like that. Put up your 1-31 the day before or something....

- boonerbuck

That would be fun, I would be in.

When we win the lottery this year and next.

- belcherbd

Very true...it was absurd. I watched a few of his OHL games as I was excited by the hype. He is a terrible skater.

I'll remind him it's not important

Yes, but strangely, he says he'd support a young Canucks team even if they lose. So I'm guessing he'd think a young Canucks team would also stink and not think very much of them....he's confusing at best.
- LeftCoaster

I do think the Canucks stink .

But at least I am not all star struck over the Jets Flames and Leafs like you.

And I sure as hell am not saying if Benning doesn't start doing better I am going to pull a Nucker like you.


Your whining about Canucks is hitting Tambir and Raj heights

Ferraro seems to think the Canucks will get a 1st rd pick and a expansion selectable young asset for Hansen. I believe the 3 examples he gave were:

Mike McCarron and MON 1st
Derrick Pouliot and PIT 1st
Curtis Lazar and OTT 1st
- D-UNIT-

Wonder the reaction if Ferraro had an account and posted that here

Anyway let's see what JB does or not either way there will be strong comments.

It happens when the fan base is desperate for some prospects to make an impact.

- CanuckDon

Point being that, everyone's opinions/expectations concerning Gaudette right now, have likely nowhere to go but down.

Same as the Cassels hype.

Ferraro lives downwind of the Lepages factory.

All the hype was that he plays for the Comets . Not an unreasonable hype.
