Yup.
Guy will be a nice 4th liner.

Here is how I view the trade. Canucks weren’t going to qualify Gaudette. Very unlikely. Beagle is done. High more sounds like he is fast, plays Center and isn’t a liability. Try him out as your 4th line Center and potentially save $2.25MM in cap space on the 4th line. If he doesn’t earn the job, we didn’t lose anything except salary

She is right, I cracked a beer to celebrate this trade.

You are the stupidest fanboy on these blogs. Suck it. Burn your Gaudette jersey and try not to drown in your tears

He really does look like Motte out there.
- manvanfan

Looks like he celly's the same as gaudette too - should see that 2X's

He did play fairly well in the bubble last year. Still think I'd rather have a draft pick for Gaudette.

This feels cap-motivated. JB can't afford the 2mil Gaudette would ask for so he's getting a guy who helps him afford Petey/Hughes

Was this “THE information that the media didn’t have about this coming summer’s cap challenges”?

- Reubenkincade

I did as well. Mainly because Northy suggested it

Highmore had 4 points in 9 playoff games last season. Gaudette had 0 in 10 games.

Highmore really does look like another Motte out there.

If it was cap motivated he wouldn't have an extra year.

cap management would say keep gaudette and just not qualify him.

Need someone to play 4th line, especially if Beagle is out, you buy someone out, trade another guy away.

Just seems like the smarter way would be to trade Gaud for a pick and sign someone for league minimum in the summer...

Northy is an influencer. I wonder if he has been deputized to police the thread?

Why do you have to wait until 11 am.

Awesome...showed both his goals in the highlights

inconsequential trade with Blackhawks coming out a little ahead. MH is an energy plug who can fill a spot on the 4th line if needed.

Hope JB takes the rest of the afternoon off and enjoys a celebratory drink

the only logical thing I can think of, is that Benning and company aren't sold on Gaudette as a NHLer, and because hes an RFA this summer, would rather get something for him now, than let him walk for nothing.

Taking on an AHL contract in a 1v1 is just selling so freaking low on a NHLer who just last year posted 12 goals and 33 points. There is absolutely no higher time to sell on him than now, but instead, this is probably about as low as you can sell, considering he couldn't even get a draft pick and had to absorb a contract

Remember when JB said he didn't foresee any cap problems? This is why

She looks exactly what you'd expect an NHLers girlfriend to look like

She'll blend in well in Vancouver

He is the one inch taller version of Motte.
