Player Discussion Adam Gaudette (C/RW)Claimed off Waivers from Chicago

[OD99]

Not that Gaudette is good defending but ADB was a special (morron)

Ahem..."moron"

LOL. It was too good to pass up.

I’ll take a guess saying that playing with Stutzle especially for any length of time will help his goal totals.

It almost seems like people want him to fail for whatever reason or reasons. You’d think Senators fans would be happy that he’s scoring goals. And, somehow people are worried that he’s going to get paid too much. It's an assumption, but not so sure that would happen.

100%. I meant to imply that too. If he sticks up there, his shooting percentage will level out, but will have many more opportunities and ice time, with much better players.

I agree with the 2nd point too. It's hard to break pre-conceived notions sometimes. I remember fighting that battle hard when Hoffman came in and the majority thought he was never going to be anything for various reasons. There are outliers that break through sometimes.

If we are going that route again of Ottawa Forward for Columbus D,
then how about Gaudette for Jiricek?

I am curious if they would go after him. Not sure who/what we would provide back, and I am not sure if Jiricek is looking like a bust, but adding a young RD would be great.

I was wondering the same thing and here's a breakdown of his goals:

@VGK Gaudette from Reinhardt and JBD
@VGK Gaudette from Giroux and Stutzle (PPG)
STL Gaudette from Cousins (6-0 goal)
STL Gaudette unassisted (8-1 goal)
@NYR Gaudette from Tkachuk and Chabot
SEA Gaudette from Cousins and MacEwen
PHI Gaudette from Chabot and Greig (PPG)
VGK Gaudette from Giroux and Greig (PPG)
CGY Gaudette from Greig and Giroux
@SJS Gaudette from Stutzle and Tkachuk
@SJS Gaudette from Stutzle and Tkachuk

His minutes have been in line with a 4th liner but I don't see much evidence that he worked his way up from scoring with Cousins and MacEwen. His assists come from Giroux, Greig, Tkachuk, Stutzle x 3 each, Chabot, Cousins x 2 each, Reinhardt, JBD, MacEwen x 1 each. 7 of his 11 goals don't have any bottom 6 players on the scoring sheet. Even that STL goal from Cousins is fairly meaningless, except to build his confidence, considering it's already a 5-0 game at that point.

Hopefully he can keep it up to make up for the abysmal production from Pinto, Amadio and Perron but I'm not holding my breath.

I'm crossing my fingers!
