Prospect Info: Jonah "The Man Child" Gadjovich

[VanCity Millionaires]

Yeah, but Gadjovich's name starts with a 'G' and not a 'B', so it's totally different.

You win the internet today Sir.

 

[jeromemorrow]

Is it possible to project Gadjovich's career along Nick Ritchie's career trajectory.... Nick Ritchie took 3 years to be a useful top 9 forward. (I know different draft pedigree.. but the common theme of late seems to be identifying a player with transferable hockey skills to the NHL)

I think Jonah will be a solid NHLer in 3 years and probably go pro next year latest.

Ritchie's numbers:
1st year - 33GP 4pts
2nd year - 77GP 28pts

Still very respectable.. and given our team doesn't have that many top 6 forwards locked... meaning opportunities for ice time abound.... he could very well be playing in a year or two. Thoughts?

Ritchie and Gadjovich are different players, I definitely don't think Ritchie was a premier in-front of the net guy that Gadjovich is known for. He's a guy who was more of a shooter then a pro-do-typical "in front of the net" kind of player. I think Ritchie's playstyle shares more with Boeser's then it does with "in-front of the net" players.

Compare him to Brendan Gallagher, Patrick Hornqvist, Troy Brouwer, Anders Lee, Erriksson, Wayne Simmonds, Loui Eriksson, Ryan Callahan, David Backas. All premier "in-front" of the net players at one time during their career. Compare Gadjovich to them, see what you get.

Gadjovich's coach obviously has some really nice things to say about him. Says he's the glue guy on his line.

He was also a guy who played on are top line for along time. He was not first line talent but could blend his skills to fit in with top line talent.

He was also not 5'8 170 he was 5'11 and 185.

Morrison is a runt. If he is 5 ft 11, the twins are 6 ft 5. In his skates and gear he might approach your numbers but in bare feet and normal clothes the guy was a squirt.

Might approach my numbers, **** off. Google Morrison i highly doubt u find any website listing him at 5'8. What you will find is " my numbers " being backed up

Having seen him up close and personal several times as he was my buddy's next door neighbour in Anmore for years , I can attest he is 5ft 8 on a good day. He is a dwarf.

 

[Verviticus]

hes' fourteen feet tall.

 

[BeardyCanuck03]

I like the Morrison comparison of Gadjovich potentially being the 3rd piece to a good line.

Morrison is a tad taller than 5'8. I met him at his sons end of year hockey banquet when I was bartending (which was insane btw). You could easily call him 5'9 and 5'11 on skates.

 

[Karl Childers*]

His buddys was his next door neigbhor you know only about 10 + years ago. Dont let the eye test fail you

I guess I must be 6 ft 3 then. And all these years I swore I was only 6 ft.

You could be 4'9 and never meet the guy for all we really know.

You missed the hole point of my post comparing the 2 players, and went off on height

I didn't go off I just gave you the correct height and said the two guys were nothing alike.

You seem angry

Your eye test from 10 years ago does not give you correct anything. Did you have him on a scale ? Did you bust out the tape measure?

CalgaryCanuck clearly understood what my post was about. Maybe go read his response

Buddy give it a rest, he is taller than 5' 8' accept it and move on

 

[Karl Childers*]

Oh I'm good buds you could be right and he just might be 5 ft 9 in kiss boots

 

[LeftCoast]

Naslund is 5'11". Morrison looks to be maybe an inch shorter.

 

[Karl Childers*]

In that case Bertuzzi should he listed at 6 ft 5m
Is that hair on Bertuzzis hands or tats ?

 

[WhiteCurse]

Naslund is 5'11". Morrison looks to be maybe an inch shorter.

Funny story Karl cousin cut Naslunds hair so he knows Nas is only 5'9

 

[Canucker]

You realize you are being trolled on an internet forum about the height of Brendan Morrison in a thread about Jonah Gadjovich, right? If he wants to believe Brendan Morrison is 5'8", let him have it.

Well, from this angle you can actually see that Morrison is, like, 1.5x the size of Bertuzzi. I mean his head alone is like a third of Bertuzzi's torso:

With some kids, your first impression is to want to check their birth certificates....from the interviews and physique, almost hard to fathom that Gladjovich is only 18 and was in his first year of draft eligibility.

He's 6'2" and 209 already....a little scary to think what he's going to be by the time he hits 21-22.....as a true power forward prospect he looks to have surpassed Virtanen already.

Yeah thats what I was thinking. I think hes clearly ahead of Virtanen on our depth chart and his trade value is also clearly worth much more altho have to admit Virtanen does look pretty beefed up in recent photos on twitter

I know you can't just look at point totals but the fact that Gadjovich had a more impressive draft year stats wise than Virtanen is funny.

I hope this doesn't ruin your man crush, but Gadjovich measured at 6'1" and just under 200 lbs. He's closer to Horvat beefy than Gaunce big boy.

And until we see him play at the NHL level, no way he is ahead of Virtanen.

Is this a picture of their kids?
