Value of: Adam Gaudette to Habs

[LickTheEnvelope]

Not likely to be traded. Has totally surpassed expectations and is a position highly sought after.

Will probably end up a good #3 center but he has a good deal of potential.

 

[Hostile Offer]

7th overall and Gaudette for the 3rd overall and a 4th round pick

That's... actually not bad. 7th overall pick seems like where we could still easily get someone we really really like and Gaudette fills a need. Good offer, I might do that.

 

[Elias Pettersson]

Problem is Canucks don't want Zadina enough to do that. If there was a clear cut defender at 3 thats better than someone at 7, we would do that. We've got too many forward prospects. Only way is if svechnikov slips to 3rd. He's good enough that we would consider it

If Svech is that good, the chances are that he will be selected at #2.

Nucks should keep Gaudette.

I also think he ends up being more of a winger in the NHL.

 

[PetterssonSimp]

I see we are past the playoff bubble/pretenders part of off season proposals and into “trade me your quality prospect for less than you used to draft him” part of the offseason. I can’t wait for take my 13 middle round picks for your Top10 draft pick era next week.

 

[Horse McHindu]

Gaudette just tore up the NCAA, so he has to have pretty decent value. Vancouver has Horvat, Sutter, Gaudette, and Pettersson at Center... which could be looked at as a good thing, or could mean one is expendable.

What would this cost the Habs?

Sutter will be gone in a few years, while Pettersson isn’t a lock to play at Center. He seems to be more comfortable on RW.

 

[M2Beezy]

If any team is willing to give a top 15 pick for Gaudette. Benning should make that trade

No he shouldnt. He should be imprisoned if he did that

 

[M2Beezy]

I would trade Gaudette Lind and Virtanen for the 3rd overall pick

If they add Poehling and 2019 unprotected 1st

I see where you're coming from and if Svech slips to 3rd then no chance you're getting him from us with that offer.

Jesus Christ dude, you're in love with Gaudette, we get it. If there's nothing reasonable you can come up with in this thread, go pump his tires somewhere else.

 

[THE Green Man]

So there goes another team not in the market to trade a center. I wonder how many teams could afford to deal one. Sounds like last girl still at the bar at 3 am kind of situation.

Best analogy ever: even fat chicks need love too, but they have to pay!

Regardless, it would be dumb for us to move Gaudette at all. We need to give the guy a chance, especially after we burned an ELC year to let him see what the pace of the NHL is to be able to train this year. Gaudette looks like he could potentially be our Sutter replacement, hopefully with more offensive upside. In other words...."foundational player".

 

[Romkey]

It would take an insane overpayment for the Canucks to listen. Kid just won a Hobey Baker after being a 5th rounder.

I'd think something like Mete + McNiven

Lol in ur dreams buddy

What why? We already have Danault and Poehling for #3 C and possibly #2C. No need for Gaudette who will likely not be good enough to surpass Poehling or play on the top line. Easy pass.

It's mostly the fact that Gaudette is further ahead in his development than Poehling and has upside too for the top 6. What if Poehling doesn't pan out like we hope him to? It's good to have depth. And the drop from 3rd to 7th is not that drastic.

Yes it is. Zadina is far superior. Also Poehling might not pan out but so can Gaudette. And as I said we already have Danualt.

Wow.

Let me guess you're the type that runs around and calls Benning an idiot aren't you?

 

[Legend123]

We decline that quite easily.

 

[CanuckGame39]

We decline that quite easily.

Who's we? The Canucks?

I agree we do decline that and laugh and laugh.

 

[jfhabs]

Honest question, how does Adam Gaudette compares to Jimmy Vesey?? I remember Vesey being highly tooted as well. He had a similar season to Gaudette's a year before becoming a FA too. Now Vesey is a good player but not as shiny as he once was... soon to be 25 and has yet to break 30 pts in the show

no the Habs. Thats a terrible offer for a 3OA pick. gaudette and Lind lol plz. How about Poehling and Brook for ur 7OA(?) pick or rather Petterson?

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

I don't think so. There's a decent-to-good chance that two of Lind/Gaudette/Virtanen don't stick around in the NHL. Then you're left with one that is probably not as good as Zadina.

I haven't watched Vesey play much, but Gaudette was touted for his two-way play and tenacity. He could end up becoming an elite #3 centre.
