Expectations for Gaudreau

[FLAMESFAN]

You really misunderstood my point. I was comparing Mullen & Conroy in terms of "aggressiveness". Hence why I referenced 25 years from now.
I really don't know how anyone could call Mullen aggressive.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

I agree with Flamesfan, as my memories of Mullen weren't that of any kind of aggression. Fleury was much more aggressive than him.

Mullen was tough enough to take a licking - but calling him "aggressive" might be a bit of a disservice. I'd call him "tenacious".

And the comparisons of Gaudreau to Mullen are pretty damn good if you ask me.

For what its worth i got a sneak peak at the hockey news upcoming yearbook and they have Johnny scoring 40 points this year.

Pfft, if he snapped his fingers in public they would have him over 50.

 

[The Rainman]

Imagine if we go first overall next year and pick McDavid.

A Gaudreau-McDavid-Bennett line would be bonkers.

Baertschi-Monahan-Poirier on the second. Yikes!

You might have to be without Baertschi. He makes Burkie sick because he's so poor in his own end and he's very soft. Just saying and you have just watched the Oil try and do it with the young guys and you know where that got them!

1) When did Burke say Sven makes him sick?

2) Please elaborate as to why you think he's so "poor" in his own end and what exactly makes him soft.

Your entire post reminds me of the game telephone and one that has been going on for 9 months.

I'm not one to really predict our line up over the next several years because it's virtually pointless. A large chunk of these prospects in our system we are raving about will end up elsewhere/nowhere. But one line up prayer I would like to throw out there is having a Gaudreau-Eichel tandem. That alone would push our team to an elite level. I could see this being a future team USA scoring pair as well.

 

[CraigsList]

Gaudreau - Monahan - Eichel... Yes please...

 

[danmcd15]

Imagine a powerplay with Eichel on the low left side, Gaudreau low right side, Monahan in front of the net, Bennett and Gio(?) on the point. Currently salivating.

 

[BVicious]

Personally......I think it's safe to say with Burliving adding so much size that they are gearing up to have him play all year in the NHL. And with that we have the guys to prevent other teams from running him.

So, if healthy I say 65 points.

Went back a few pages to find it. But I might be right

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I predict he plays the entire year and scores 56pts points.

I predicted 56, he's on pace right now to record 61. Pretty crazy.

 

[Taranis]

I predicted 40, pretty awesome thing to be wrong about.

 

[Remember2004]

Gaudreau - Monahan - Eichel... Yes please...

The way were playing doesn't look like it now I really wanted Eichel or McDavid.

 

[CraigsList]

It'd be awesome to see JG hit 70.

 

[Volica]

Haha rereading the thread I got the same feeling as when I originally had read it; stayed away from it until it actually became a conversation rather than a goof off haha.

I was definitely right saying he'd be on the roster on opening night and that we had nothing similar to his upside. Really wish I would have made a prediction on point totals lol.

And yeah, 70 points would be ridiculously sweet... I think he's going to hit 60; for sure.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Full season with 35 points sounds about right to me.

 

[Beats By CoRD]

If he makes the team IMO there's no way he lasts the whole brutal 82 game schedule. I think he plays 50-55 games and gets 18-20 goals, 10 assists.

Well Johnny has already exceeded my expectations point-wise. Let's hope I'm wrong about the GP.

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Gaudreau: 3 - 15 - 18 points

Oops. Well, at least in the same thread I had this:

Giordano: 17 - 53 - 70 points

Right now, Gio is on pace for 18 goals and 69 points. I got roasted for the Gio prediction.

 

[Lunatik]

600 goals, 1300 points at worst

i can still be right

 

[kirant]

You and me both. I didn't post in on HF (I think), but I said that it'd be a successful year if Gaudreau hit the 35-40 point range straight out of college.

Man did I aim low
