I liked the guy last season, but he's been sucking in preseason games this year in my opinion.

No one will pick him up on waivers, send him down and make him hungry...

We have so many expendable forwards. Somethings got to give here but i dont think they can ship Gaudette down after playing his guts out these few games. If they do and keep the floaters what message does that send

I absolutely agree on Gaudette.

How has Leivo looked to you?

Maybe it's just me...

And I like Leivo over both Motte and Schaller. Go figure...
This is TSN 1040 am this morning https://www.tsn.ca/radio/vancouver-1040 ... -1.1372557

and how they think Green's interview last night was setting up for a sending back to the minors for
Gaudette. Development and what's best for the financial situation of the team, hinting keeping him up would be complicated.
My opinion on the matter is the Org. may look a little silly if he is sent down as it was widely publicised that if a player showed he belonged
in camp, a spot would be made for him.

I'm sure Brock will be in the lineup on opening night.

In my eyes Schaller has looked good this preseason.

Looking good in as far as a physical 4th line PK guy.

In the summer I had him as waiver-wire fodder

... but now I wouldn't be surprised if he made the cut.

As for Leivo vs Motte, either one could go.

But Motte plays all 3 forward positions so I think he might be the 13th forward.

I'm not sure how keeping The Gaud up would affect the financial situation. :?

I could see them being worried about losing someone else on waivers, but personally I wouldn't be.

Yup. That kind of relentless hustle is infectious.

Ya hes looked pretty bunk. I was thinking he looks like a guy who knows hes already got a job secured and is just playing out the practice games but maybe you're onto something there.

I wont lose any sleep if hes gone

Eriksson has been pathetic, but as usual he stays. Really not sure why Benning and Green talk about a “competive camp”, “guys pushing guys for jobs”. It’s one big flow of bullshit when they talk like that, especially Green. Green loves his lunch bucket guys like Motte, Schaller, Leivo, Beagle, Pearson, Sutter etc and of course “little things” Eriksson.

Benning makes sense, he's the guy who signed him. I don't see how Green views him as a benefit to the roster,sure Loui's got some skill,but the lack of competitiveness has got to be something you don't want the other players witnessing

You have to worry about the psyche of the room when guys are Kept who don’t deserve to be kept around, but that’s what happens in the cap world and bad contracts.

They have to keep Gaudette up and waive a flunkie. If the dont they'll fuck up the incentive for future kids to try and win jobs.

I see no scenario where benning demotes Gaudette
