If he has another year like the last two, tell him he can finish his contract in Utica.

I don’t like Sutter and Gagner at all but I think they are genuinely putting in some effort. They are just shitty players.

Re: Canucks Young Guns
If a top three pick is playing in Vancouver next year, he will likely be playing for a visiting team, my guess Sabres, Islanders, or Coyotes. Buffalo can’t be out tanked, and the Canucks can’t win lotteries.DHA wrote: ↑Sun Mar 25, 2018 3:59 pmWill be very interesting if Sedins retire, but I thin EP is her next year with the Sedins and a top 3 pick from this draft.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Sun Mar 25, 2018 10:49 am Sorry buds I think it would be next to impossible to ditch Sutter, Gagner and Louis without taking a bad contract back for each of them.

If i had spent much time sparring with those guys, unless they were really kind to me, Jim Benning would look like a genius to me now, too.

Re: Canucks Young Guns
I'm not going to stick up for Gagner, but Sutter has been top-6 in forward icetime on 3 different teams for each of the past 9 seasons.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Sun Mar 25, 2018 10:49 am I don’t like Sutter and Gagner at all but I think they are genuinely putting in some effort.

The reason: He is an elite shutdown/penalty-killing/faceoff-winning centre.
I recently posted that he has been top-20 in the NHL in the faceoff circle over the past 3 seasons.
Yeahno, he's not "shitty" bro...

According to a tweet by Bob McKenzie:
Contract talks between VAN and Adam Gaudette on a three-year entry-level contract are progressing towards a logical conclusion, perhaps as early as tomorrow.

Re: Canucks Young Guns
Canucks and Hurricanes were/are horrible garbage teams and it’s well know Pittsburgh is a top heavy team very reliant on its top 2-4 forwards up front. Notice how they’ve actually won cups again since Sutter isn’t there hogging top minutes. Adding Fatty One Ball Yellow Teeth Filthy Phil did so much more than Birdbones for that team.Strangelove wrote: ↑Sun Mar 25, 2018 5:26 pmI'm not going to stick up for Gagner, but Sutter has been top-6 in forward icetime on 3 different teams for each of the past 9 seasons.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Sun Mar 25, 2018 10:49 am I don’t like Sutter and Gagner at all but I think they are genuinely putting in some effort.

Yeah we know Philthy Phil is better than Birdbones Brandon, which is why he makes twice as much.

Re: Canucks Young Guns
Nice. I didnt really think he was as far along the development curve as he apparently is already.
So those who know...is he NHL ready?

Re: Canucks Young Guns
Hearing it's a done deal. He will report to the Canucks, not Utica, thereby burning year one of his ELC.
The only HW the Canucks need

Re: Canucks Young Guns
That's too bad.
Utica just clinched a spot in the playoffs today and could really use Gaudette.
The Comets have no business being there with the group they've had down there over the past 4-5 weeks. Demko has been a brick wall, and Cull has got that team playing waaay above and beyond.

Re: Canucks Young Guns
Will be interesting to see what this kid can do. He’s got good size and skill, very good shot. Not the greatest skater but he’s solid. He should be NHL ready or very close to it anyway, so will be another guy fighting for a spot on the big team.Hockey Widow wrote: ↑Sun Mar 25, 2018 9:22 pm Hearing it's a done deal.

Anybody have any idea what’s going to happen this summer? Way too many players for too few positions. Something’s gotta give.

Re: Canucks Young Guns
Ya I’m looking forward to seeing him but also hoped he’d sign his 3 year ELC taking effect July 1st then signing a contract with Utica.BladesofSteel wrote: ↑Sun Mar 25, 2018 9:31 pm That's too bad.

But getting him under contract is good.
