GDT: GAME #41: Canucks @ Flames | The Halfway Point / Sven and Troy return! | 7:00 p.m. PST

[Mr. Canucklehead]

There it is.



The real fun comes when Sutter is ready to return.

 

[wonton15]

That means Sutter and/or Baertschi are ready. This is great news for Gaudette too.

 

[Fire Benning]

Gaudette getting sent down over Granlund is ridiculous

 

[polarbearcub]

Gaudette gets demoted for beartchi.

What happens when sutter is back?

 

[JanBulisPiggyBack]

Granlund rides the pine and Schaller is waived

Unless Benning has a trade lined up

Gaudette getting sent down over Granlund is ridiculous

I kind of think this is going to be good for Gaudette.

But I sincerely hope that Granlund is the one to go when Sutter is ready. Can they trade him for prospect or depth in Utica? I don't think he would clear waivers, but it would be great for Utica and our call-up depth if he got through and played there.

However, IMO it should be Lui E that goes (in my dream world)

Mmm not really, Gaudette proved he can skate and check with the pros, but to develop his offensive game he's gonna need lots of unsheltered minutes against weaker competition. He wasn't going to get those playing 3C/4C for us. This isn't about Granlund at all actually.

Trading Granlund for prospect depth and keeping Schaller as the extra guy would be good. I can't stand how they use Granlund but he probably has more value?

I like to think the kernel is right here folks this could be best for the Gaudefather long term

 

[polarbearcub]

This is the best thing for gaudette. It’s not like he’s disappearing. We will see him again this year and next year he will be a full time Nhl player

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Let him develop in the AHL some more. Still has alot of work to do before he's an NHL regular.

He'll be back and better than ever.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

He would be the first guy that gets called up..Seeing as we’re going on a road trip,I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s back on the Canucks in a week or so..given our injury luck.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I hope HockeyGaudette took when he has learned this past two months and mature his game down in the AHL.
He can play in the nhl but is still very raw

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Gaudette is averaging 7 min ice time the last 5 games.

If we want him to develop into eventually a top 6 player then this is 100% the right move.

He can play every situation in Utica, grow, develop good habbits, gain confidence and boom

 

[Canucks LB]

Damnnn
Sweden usa and canucks game same time, dono what to watch

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Yeah I don't mind Gaudette back in Utica.

I also like Gudbranson out of the top 4. Historically, Pouliot-Gudbranson has done sorta okay as a third pairing.

I’ll flip back and forth but I’m definitely watching USA/SWE I think it’ll be a fantastic game.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Canucks run Alberta

3-1 Vancouver

Boeser
Bae
Horvat

 

[Zombotron]

A nice gesture from a group at my childhood rink:

 

[BROCK HUGHES]

That means Sutter and/or Baertschi are ready. This is great news for Gaudette too.

They should really look at trading Baertschi I am not a fan per say and he has concussion issues that are worrisome.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I might skip this game and catch the USA/SWE game

 

[Addison Rae]

This is going to be a really good game, hoping to see Virtanen engaged physically tonight.

4-3 Flames

 

[M2Beezy]

I might skip this game and catch the USA/SWE game

Go Q Hughes/Madden!

 

[WTG]

Go Q Hughes/Madden!

Yeah, but they are playing in Victoria and people out there aren't real Canadians.
Not real people either, sub-humans. Lizard people.
