Rumor: (Dhaliwal) - Teams showing Interest in Adam Gaudette + Virtanen Update

[RebuildinVan]

Sounds weird now, what other types of trades has Benning been making we don't know about.

Benning used the phrase prefers hockey trades one time. Player for player.... and yet somehow we always loose draft picks in the process

 

[Hookslide]

do you always injected into conversations with zero context or knowledge of what ppl are talking about?
yikes

Does that mean the Bruins should go have to him because he is from this area. The should get someone who will help their team............I am not saying he would not be an asset, but I want him because he can make a difference.

I love this "it's Green's fault", seems like you haven't been paying attention for the last 6 years,

guess it's Green's fault too that Jake came into the playoff bubble out of shape and was called out by his Captain?

guess it's Green's fault that Jake does all the dumbshit off the ice?

It must be his fault too that Jake (even though he's been given every opportunity in the world) can't succeed?

Really bud get a clue and take off the rose coloured glasses.

You don't know jack ****. You just believe whatever you read in the media like a puppet.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Fair enough, didn't realize he was in your top 4 this year.

He has never NOT been in our Top 4.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Radio out here talking about it. One of the guests brought it up. They were talking about both Benning and Poille being on the hot seat.

Poile's seat is only "hot" in the sense that fans are angry at him, though. There's no other source for any potential heat in Nashville. And that's a very harmless kind of heat.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

If we traded for Gaudette, I can't see it as anything other than re-painting some deck chairs on the Titanic. Not even bothering to shuffle them. Basically, sure, we'll give you Haula or Jarnkrok or some other middling player who isn't very meaningful to us, and if Gaudette turns it around, great, if not, no harm done. That's about all we've got to offer on that front.

Jarnkrok would be a good fit for Vancouver. Even Haula who I think Vancouver was interested in.

Green is a garbage coach, he sucks! And it has nothing to do with Virtanen, it has a lot to do with Markstrom making Green look good. Now that Markstrom is gone, Greens failure as a coach is showing. Just look at how little he has gotten from our top players this year and it’s not like we don’t have great players for him to work with! Most coaches would love to have Pettersson, Horvat, Boeser, Miller and Hughes. Green is not a good coach, time to move on.

 

[Scoresberg]

I really don't get trying to add Gaudette, he doesn't move the needle for this team at all. We should be adding draft picks & prospects not wasting them on assets like Gaudette..

 

[Snipes45]

They dont seem like the 1st guys i would move to try to clear cap. when Virtanen makes $2.5 and Gaudette makes under a million. plus Sutter/Edler/Benn/Pearson expire.



theyre solid young-ish players. and its not like anyone is pushing them out.

You must go to bed before Canuck games.

I like Gaudette's motor though. Why are they trading him? I can see JV. So inconsistent and meh

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

I think that just depends on your pro scouting dept's assessment of Gaudette. He's young, affordable, and if you think he's still got upside, he's probably a better bet than whatever 2nd or 3rd round draft pick you might get for a player like Jarnkrok or Haula. 2nd or 3rd round picks rarely pan out either.

I don't have any pro scouting insight on Gaudette, mind you, but he was considered a fairly hot prospect after his big years in college. I don't know what has gone wrong since or if there are any obvious red flags.

Of course, the other caveat is that Nashville has not traditionally been a place where players go and suddenly flourish, especially up front. So if he's having problems somewhere else already...

 

[lawrence]

Might take a while for the Roxy to recover

you are aware that he's not the only Canuck player that frequently visits the roxy right?

 

[JimmyG89]

What are the Canucks looking to get for Gaudette? Rangers have serious holes at the center position in the immediate and long term. I think there could be a natural fit there for a swap.

 

[Nucklehead Supreme]

You don't know jack ****. You just believe whatever you read in the media like a puppet.

No it's pretty visible when the dude takes pictures and also ever heard the saying if there is smoke there is fire, lots of smoke there, too bad your too blind to see through it,

Or you know, we have zero depth, and our goalie's and coach can't make up for the fact that our GM signed a bunch of useless and very overpaid bottom sixers. Guess you are one of those that expect Green to make chicken salad out of chicken shit?

That’s just excuses, the Canucks are playing without any identity, no push back or system in place this is all on the coaches. If the players were playing hard you could put it all on the GM, Green hasn’t done a good job at getting the players ready or prepared and that’s 100% on him.

leipzig was right about one thing

Would need to be a dman.

Rangers seem to have some solid pieces on the backend.

Rumours had the Nucks interested in Braden Schneider prior to the draft.

Would do a small add to Gaudette for a Schneider swap.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Schneider was a recent mid round 1st, I highly doubt Gaudette has that kind of value unless that small add is our 2nd(late 1st?).

Chris Johnston - I think Vancouver is potentially trying to free up cap-space with a Jake Virtanen deal.

not really news, but an update is an update.

At this juncture, allowing Benning to make a trade, a man with no plan other to than to save his own job, will become a thing of myth and lore.

 

[Henkka]

What teams are left with cap room?

Eriksson + Gaudette + Virtanen

to Detroit for <>

???

Is Rasmussen still a kid with potential, or is he as much a draft position bust as JV was/is?

If Rasmussen is still tall, then Benning wants him.

 

[EP to Kuzmenko]

If Rasmussen is still tall, then Benning wants him.

I did a little light reading and he seems to be smart defensively as a centre, getting PK time in the AHL. The worry would be his back injuries, but that could be behind him with all the rest he got, kind of like Boeser. He could become an ideal 3c for us, FA will also like that he is a Vancouver kid. If it dropped Erikssons cap I would do it on a personal level.
