Ahhh, HB classics from yester year. Well, last off season.

It is what it is

Gaudette and EP are three years away from having impact I think that leaves years 5 &6 only left for then 34 years old to find chemistry with them
- VANTEL

No chance Gaudette takes 3 Year’s. he could be 3C next season

I said 3years before he has an impact on this team. He can make the team next year but won't be an impact player

I think he will. He was more effective than Boeser in the young stars in my opinion. He has it all. Size, strength and vision. I think he will be the best pick this regime made in their tenure. Let’s just hope he is ready to turn pro next year

"impact"....depends on what that means to you.

What if he doesn't sign?

I don't trust the (frank)er untli he's put his name on the solid black line!!!

True. I’d say top 9 and popping in 15 plus goals is an “impact” on an ELC. But ya, he won’t be top 6 next year

Well he is tight with Judd Brakett so that should give us hope. Let’s just hope we keep Judd around!

He said this year at camp he is looking forward to coming back here. His words were I will be a Canuck just not this year

It's a little presumptuous to say he'll be their best pick when there's a real possibility he might not ever play for the team.

I really hope he's true to his word and he wants to play in Vancouver, but there's always the chance he might not.

He's already an elite 5c... by next year with his curve he'll be at least 3c, maybe even a 2c or of he really develops he could be an elite 3c next season.

Bah, facts are like snow flakes, if you turn the heat up enough they tend to go away and stop bothering you.

I should clarify. I think he is their best value pick not their best prospect. A 5th rounder that could be a 2C. Are you actually worried he won’t sign? That’s a 5 % probability. He is too good to play in college beyond next season

I never heard that one before.

I'm just saying it's a possibility until he does actually sign. Kid looks to be a steal if they can get his name on a contract.

Wait until Palmu scores his 50 th in his rookie year

Guadette is signing before end of this season burning a year on ELC. It's the plan. Book it.

I can see next camp that Guadette will compete with EP for one of the designated roster spots that will be kept open for prospects in new transition season.

Yes expect a big year. Lot's of upgrades bringing in players with offensive talent at Michigan. Lockwood has lethal speed and gritty two way game. Could be next Hansen.

Nooo not another Hansen Everyone calls Goldobin another Hansen and look where he is. Let's label Lockwood as another .???

Lol good point....but to be fair, they play a very different style. Lockwood is a beast, sometimes to his detriment, while Goblen avoids contact. With Lockwood, he has to be less aggressive or injuries will be a factor throughout his career

He plays like Jensen did when he was inspired.....

Thought Goldy was Mogilny light. That's if he gets it together enough to make the NHL.
