Prospect Info: Jonah "The Man Child" Gadjovich

[MS]

Right Gaudette didn't make the team but you missed the point. The point is that those guys or most of those guys weren't expected to make the team and did. We were talking about "pre-set" rosters here.

I mean, yes. A couple Di Giuseppe types have snuck through as a depth forward. And then a bunch of guys you're listing were absolutely expected to make the team (or at least management had pre-determined that they'd make the team).

We kept Nic Petan over Jonah. I fking hate our front office

 

[Bubbles]

sweet, great job again dim jim.

Now watch him sign Petan to a $1.5 million contract because "he really played well in the preseason!"

 

[Tonystretcher]

Just another example of this management needlessly bleeding assets. Why not give him a couple regular season games to get a better sense of what he is before waiving him? He clearly had a better camp than a couple guys that will make this roster.

 

[Hyzer]

More assets lost for nothing. Literally nothing.

This franchise is so ass backwards. Why even try if you’re a fringe prospect here?
Best of luck to Gad

 

[Canucks LB]

The worst part is the guy actually gained a step this offseason, This is complete bullshit

 

[JumpierPegasus]

Morons.

 

[Hyzer]

You just gotta laugh

If you don’t laugh, you’ll cry.

 

[PavelBure10]

Once again more grays appear in my beard over this moronic management "doink, doink doink".

Pisses me off so much. Gadjovich deserves better, best of luck to him.

 

[clay]

This is ugly. Spend a high draft pick and 4 years developing a guy who improves year after year and lose him for nothing before giving him a chance.

 

[Bubbles]

Motte was a regular right from when we traded for him. There was a bit of competition but I think most expected he'd make the team.

Skille, Cracknell were Di Guiseppe types that eked into the 13th forward spot.

Schaller ... really? He's the opposite of being on this list.

Virtanen was part of the Advanced Development thing where it was pre-determined that he would be on the roster, and made the team after a very underwhelming preseason. McCann was part of that, too although he probably did earn a spot.

Gaudette never really made the team out of camp. He was cut and then immediately we had a bunch of injuries that forced him into the lineup.

Hutton - yes, he earned a spot.

Exactly. And I was talking about homegrown guys, guys we've drafted and let mature in the AHL. Skille/Cracknell/Di Guiseppe/Schaller were all age gappers that were acquired from other organizations.

The only player we've drafted and let mature at the AHL AND still plays on the team is Juolevi.

Brock/Petey/Hughes/Hogs jumped straight to the NHL.

Both of our 2017 2nd round picks gone for zero return in 3 months lol.

 

[Canucks LB]

This is solely on travis green btw, He is the one who made the call here for sure.
Sick of the "oh he can't PK, hes not as useful" Bullshit.
The guy improved every season, did everything the team asked of him, gained a step, scored goals, and we lose him for f***ing nothing.

Chiasson vs. Gadjovich is more frustrating to me.

Very similar type players who would project into a similar role (bottom-6/2nd unit PP). They could have given Gadjovich a good look in competition with Chiasson - and if Chiasson out-performs him, fine - but instead they're just handing the spot to a crap veteran.

 

[Nucker101]

lol...just lol @ Green


I don't think Gadj will be some sort of game changer, but he looked better to me than some of the scrubs still on this roster right now and I love how he put in the work to lose weight and get faster. Good for him to still land on a NHL roster.

 

[Breakers]

Dropping like flies

Juolevi and dipietro and woo are what is left of 24+ picks out of the CHL.

Easily the most embarrassing department of this is organization is the CHL scouting

you could spend $3.50 on the hockey news draft profile and pick CHL names at random and probably have better success.

Thankfully for some autonomy Cody Glass isn’t joined on that list.

Travis Green. f*** me.

 

[cc]

Hahaha, what a f***up.

They don't play the guy in the preseason to find out what they have, try to sneak him through waivers, and then lose him anyway.

The fallacy by Green and Benning is assuming that other teams are as stupid as they are.

 

[F A N]

Oh damn it.

I guess Gadjovich > Lind.

I hope Canucks re-claim Gadjovich if he re-enters waivers. They have never done that that but I hope they do.

 

[ChilliBilly]

Not in the least surprised. Yet another dim Jim / travesty Green screw up. One of the few hopeful guys for the future.

However, we might as well trade our 2nd and 3rd round draft picks if we are going to handle them this incompetently.

Travesty Green! I like that. I’m stealing that.

You’ve called them out on their agenda regarding Gadjovic the whole preseason and how they telegraphed their decision leading to today - props to you.
