I don't think Gaudette has ever been known as a 2way player.Gaudette was an underrated signing, I hope he can be the all around 2 way plug in our 4th C. Cmon now give us 25pts
Noesen plays a very different more translatable style. Heavy on the forcheck and puck battles. Gaudette is a finesse player. Will be surprising and frankly dissapointing of he's on the opening night roster.Of note with Gaudette, he played for Travis Green and Nolan Baumgartner before. In the 2019-2020 season his stats were 59 GP 12 G 21 A 33 PTS
He is just coming off a season in the AHL where he put up the following stats:
67 GP 44 G 27 A 71 PTS
For comparison purposes Stefan Noesen had similar (albeit better) production in the AHL before finally becoming a full time player for Carolina.
Bingo he does not play that way.I don't think Gaudette has ever been known as a 2way player.
If Gaudette makes the opening night roster, it suggests he's taken the next step in his game, I don't see any other way he'd crack our roster outside of injuries.Noesen plays a very different more translatable style.

Only somewhat related to Gaudette specifically, but it’s so awesome Andlauer is willing to dish out 450k AHL salaries to guys like this so that we’re not stuck with complete scrubs when we need call-ups. Such a refreshing change.
Perhaps they’ll rotate MacEwan and Gaudette in and out of the lineup depending on the opponent? Gaudette could see as many or more games in Belleville though this season.If Gaudette makes the opening night roster, it suggests he's taken the next step in his game, I don't see any other way he'd crack our roster outside of injuries.
I don't expect he'll make the team as I see him as middle six or bust and our middle six appears to be set but if he plays his way into consideration that's a good thing. I could see him being the 13th forward though.
