I think so far this off season Benning is 3 for 3 . Demko Pouliot and Gaunce . Taking care of business early.

I think Benning is going to have an impressive summer.

The pessimist would argue law of averages says we're due for a big mistake

I'd prefer to stick with your line of thinking

You can do it at the draft as well, no rush

I’m trying to say that you keep comparing Beagle now instead of Beagle then. Then, you would have complained about what a scrub he was and how the team should send him to the minors for ever.

Gaunce doesn’t fit Greens style of play. He isn’t quick, or fast. But in the right situation, where tenacity around the net, like in St Louis, he could find success and win a cup. Then you bozos will be complaining about how we let him go for nothing.

I care less about Gaunce than I did Volpatti or CoRrado, but you guys sure get worked up about what a waste of space he is.

cmon Vintsy...really? Getting worked up??

lol

Ohhh there's a rush.

What’s your point? One day Gaunce will be as good as Beagle? You keep mentioning this but what point are you trying to emphasize?
- CanuckDon

lol Gaunce is still trying to be as good as Nic Dowd.

I just hate the low bar that so many fans seem content with. “Hey, he’s an upgrade on Gaunce so I’m cool with it.”

Well no (frank)ing poop he’s an upgrade on an AHL player lol. Even Nic Dowd is an upgrade on Gaunce because he’s in the NHL and playing in a checking/PK role on a good team.

Roussel and Vanek are the only UFA’s signed over the past 2 summers that were actually good deals. The rest have been poor value.
- Nucker101

Big picture Nucker...big picture.

Sample size on Beagle has been a bit small give the guy a full season with an improving roster.

See where it goes...

My reaction was the same as his to your comment but then I drew a blank as my hands hovered over the keyboard.

So what if Beagle sucks as bad as Gaunce did at the same age. Why the (frank) should you or I care? We didn’t draft and develop him we paid market price for what he brings to the table now. The fact he used to be in the ECHL is (frank)ing irrelevant. Burrows used to be in the ECHL. Who cares!

Vintsy believes all prospects develop linearly. Gaunce has to be as good as beagle given time

So is Gaunce going to Holland to be the Dutch Beagle?

Anyone up for a Brisebois debate?

I think of 4 million reasons for few more years.

He’s not good enough for the AHL? That’s just as absurd as people saying he’s better than Beagle
- Nucker101

Canuck fans, it's either one extreme or the other.

I beg to differ . I said all last year he was not even good enough to be a Comet . I said it early last year he will not be re-signed.

What does his contract have to do with comparing Gaunce and beagle as players at the age of 24? I hate his contract as well but he is a legit NHL player

Gaunce is a fine AHL player. But benning did me a solid by getting rid of him so Prezs live will be in shambles. Thank you Jimbo

I said he was not good enough to be a Comet and Looky Looky he got beat out by a rookie.

I didn't say he is not good enough to be an AHL layer I said he won't be a Comet
