I have no trust in AG . I think he is playing his last year here. If I am wrong then it is good for Canucks

Canucks want him to learn the PK this year.

Yeah not a bad idea in theory.

I seen him online gaming yesterday morning and the day before but I never see him talking about training. I know he is quarantine now but even before very little hockey.

His 0 points in 10 playoff games and sitting for 7 of the 17 games . I wish him well

Even if a guy has a bad playoff record, if he has good regular season stats he will have value around the league. a .75 ppg Gaudette will have more value than a .5 ppg Gaudette, regardless of post season success.

You did the same thing last year

Our prospects are on other teams. I know most fans cheer for the Canadians at all of the three world tournaments every year but since the novelty of the tournaments has worn off I cheer the individual players

If they can convert him that could work but he was terrible in his own end last year

I saw Gaudette practicing lifting a stick and firing off a quick shot and passing the puck off one of those rebound things and firing it on net. Practicing for that bumper spot on the 2nd PP unit.

Adam Gaudette quote "For all you nerds so concerned with my off season training, I got my skate and lift in already today. Ready to go for the magic man"

He also thanked Boothbysportperformance for all their work getting him ready for the season.

That was about 3 weeks ago I believe . I posted a comment on it back then.

So it is not just me that see him gaming more than practicing

He is either ready or he is not. I am not building a fantasy roster around him

He was just easing your concerns.

I haven't seen Virtanen post any training vids this year. Normally you see him posting quite a few in other seasons.

Canucks going to turn into real meat and potatoes players with Higgins as the skills coach

I just seen a tweet that made me laugh . Long time skills coach Glenn Carnagie is leaving the Canucks. Then it said he is so obscure there is no photo of him.

That explains so much

Great trade by Mike Gillis for the 2011 Cup run. That song by Elton John about the candle burning out quickly comes to mind when thinking about him though

it's amazing to think that higgins almost got washed from the league due to his issues (sniff sniff) in montreal and nyr.

remembering back, the canucks were a last ditch to revitalize his once promising career and he did it.

kudos to him for bouncing back to such an extent that he's mentoring/coaching others.

If the Canucks would have fired Gillis right after he traded Schneider and drafted Horvat

Canucks could of had Shea theordore, Oliver Bjorkstrand, Tyler Motte, Josh Brown, Mackenzie Weegar, Andreas Johansson
