Adam Gaudette of the Vancouver Canucks is reportedly being shopped, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. I talk about how unlucky Gaudette has been this season, why his great stats with the Canucks last year were likely an outlier, and how trading him might open some doors in the Seattle Kraken expansion draft.

Yes, Lind/Bailey/Vesey can do his job the same or better. And Gauds prob has some value to actually fetch something
I feel like if he's traded he's gonna blow up on another team…seems like that kind of situation. Wouldn't that be our luck š¤£
I dont think many Canucks fan have faith in our ownership or management right now. I hope they can resign Green and Ian Clarke in this week off at the bare minimum.
Bailey is better, and Gaudette can probably fetch some picks
Question is what can Gaudette actually get you? Maybe a 3rd rounder? At best a 2nd (not likely)? At least his contract is cheap and I like him more than Jake. Please trade Jake, I'm tired of his low/no hockey IQ plays. If Jake becomes a stud on another team, that's great because obviously he's not going to be on the canucks.
Parker: "Weaponize."

Parker: "Ok good you got it. Weaponize your Expansion slots."
Jim: "Do nothing at the trade deadline and build through free agency š"
Parker (+ All Canucks Fans): -_-
But yeah I seriously zero faith in this management group at this point. After not even attempting to negotiate with Stecher, I lost all hope. Also Jimbo has been carried by stealing in the draft, so it'll be interesting to see if that can continue without Judd Brackett being around.
I doubt it's worth trading him, but it depends what you trade him for I guess. If for example its a 3rd round pick, are you likely to get a better player in the 3rd probably not. I would think you just ride it out and see if he has a better season next year. If he helps you get rid of LE somehow then you do it but I doubt that happens.
Hey Parker, now that there are going to be a few days with 0 canucks games, you should make a top five canucks players of all time video. Just a suggestion.
It took three years for Bailey to just lace up so I do not see him playing any time in the future. Adam had a issue where he could not put on weight and has fixed the problem. If he can put on at least another ten pounds it could help his game. Yet he is not like Gaunce, he is better. This is an awful season for the whole team, no practices at the start of the year. Every team was able to but the Canucks. I see the older players as more of an issue. And they are a year older. Trading in Canada would not be smart, because pretty much all teams want to trade players for players and there would not be any return unless you want a anchor. Unless you get a pick there would be no use in moving him.
Wow I wonder if Gaudette will end up with as many points as Benn , if you can improve your team you trade , he reminds me of a poor mans Mason Raymond ,perimeter player invisible in last years playoffs . But good stats compared to Virtanen .
I like Gaudette, I really hope we keep him unless we get a really good return. He generates good chances and puts in good effort. Nice video tho and overview!
Yes, they should look at moving everyone in the bottom 6 except Motte.
Noooooooooo
Would you trade Myers?
I'd like to think that Jb is unpredictable, and that he wants pull off an amazing package deal that frees up cap space, and opens up roster spots, but he will likely get rid of the wrong depth players, and the wrong d men for rental calibre players (and maybe 3rd-4th rounders). Let's hope not though.
We been contending the cup since 1982 1994 2011 ouch that Hurt , Canucks never win the cup ,in two years must be Dreaming.every year same thing no result .keep Gaudette
I agree, ownership needs to sell, and Benning needs to go.
i feel like gaudette is not being put in a position to succeed
hes replaceable. he cant play center. either top 6 or bust. maybe he will floruish elsewhere. hes worth a 4th or 5th if traded alone. but maybe he can be packaged alongside one of the expensive bottomer sixers? that would entice some teams.
Hire Gaudette as GM! "You know, day by day, you know.
Seriously, for what they're paying Adam, I'd keep him. Hopefully he can turn it around, as he was red hot last year. His situation isn't unique as there's several other Canucks on the same bus. Maybe the problem is 50% GM, and 50% coaching?
Keep up the great analysis.
I wouldnāt do it
Ship virtanen off first
Saw my comment show up on Canucks Clay "Mean Comments" Vid. My comment about you looking like Jared Kushner was not intended to be an insult. It was just an observation. Apologies if you were offended. I like your channel and your content. I am a Sub. Thanks!
