Claimed off Waivers: [SJS] Jonah Gadjovich claimed off waivers by the Sharks from the Canucks

[Adele Dazeem]

Anytime you send a 22 year old down the waiver wire instead of scrubs you're going to look bad.
This isn't the end of the world for the Canucks, but it's just a silly oversight by someone who has clearly lost the plot.
How Benning still has a job is a testament to the Old Boys Club of the NHL.

 

[PettersonHughes]

Fairly certain Motte's out as well, so I'm surprised they waived him at this juncture. Even if he doesn't PK he's still a young asset, and especially considering how the team had been looking for a power forward since we got Virtanen and then Gadjovich, it sucks to see that both are no longer with us. Good luck to him but hope he doesn't become the next Lucic or play hard against us as the shift disturber that we've wanted to have (esp. now that Ferland is basically retired).

 

[RealGudbranson]

Death by a thousand cuts with Benning. This isn’t Juolevi over Tkachuk disappointing, but damn, the guy just figured out his major flaw, and he’s waived over a bunch of scrubs. Ugh.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Certainly would rather keep Gadjovich than MacEwan who is irredeemable garbage.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Dumb move by the Canucks.
Smart by the Shaeks. Been following him since his OHL rookie season.
There are lots to like him about.

Before the waiver claim:

Guisseppe to me has clearly made the team. He is a very solid 4th liner. Super reliable defensively and great on board battles.

Lockwood needs more time in the AHL. would love for him to just marinate and get massive ice time in a top 6 role.

Gadjovich has shown well. Waiting to see his footspeed later on in the pre seaosn vs actual NHL players.

For Van:

Philip Diguiseppe and Jonah 'Manchild" Gadjovich have shown very well

Jack Rathbone as well looks like a top 4 Dman. Reminds me of Brian 'Soup' Campbell every time I watch him play.

Harvard has done really well producing Dmen lately, Rathbone might be the next exhibit.

-Marino

After the waiver claim:

Farm is one of the worst in the leagues for sure now.

but thats cuz we had 3 straight season with a Calder Winner or Finalist and I believe was listed as a top5 u25 lineups in the NHL.

and then young guys like Hoglander Podkolzin Rathbone made it straight to the show.

Theyve also traded 1st round picks for legit NHLers like Garland, OEL and JT Miller

The only real NHLers I see in the pipe for the Canucks coming up is

Dipietro Woo Lockwood Klimovich.

Gadjovich is a dime a dozen prospect that is an AHL/NHL tweener.

Heck, Canucks even have Justin Bailey who is an AHL/NHL tweener and Gadjovich not as good as him.

Canucks will probably send down Macewan as well, he has been vanilla at camp.

I'm real f***ing sick of your gaslighting for management.

[Lenerdosy]

He might have ended up being a tweener, but after following him for a few years, having the team relocate to Abby, I was excited to see him play there if I got to see any games this year.

AHL roster should be pretty solid, but would have liked to have more prospects from Utica that I have followed there, would have made it feel cooler seeing them finally.

Oh well hopefully he gets a shot with SJS.

 

[Diamonddog01]

This is disappointing and both predictable and preventable.

[spintheblackcircle]

As I said on the Sharks board, he looks like Ryan Kesler ate Kevin Bieksa.

I don't think theres a better picture on eliteprospects as a player pic than this one. Just makes him look like someone whos coming out of the biggest brawl around.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

With Dahlen and now Gadjovich...can we just have your 2nd round pick for free this year? We don't have one rn

 

[Yog S'loth]

When this guy goes 0G-2A in 13 games and is waived and sent to the minors in a couple months, a lot of people gonna try to pretend like they didn't post in this thread

Just ask ol' Jim nicely and you shall receive. All we ask is that you send back a former Portland Winterhawk or failed Calgary Flames project in return.

I think that’s why I like this pick up. He does more than just score which is something we need more of. We have lots of soft or just not physical guys.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

Gadjovich was listed as the 5th best player under 23 for the Canucks by Corey Pronman this year. Either he is way off or Benning took a really dumb risk thinking he might clear waivers. My guess is the latter. Hearing that multiple teams tried to claim him. Surely he would have had some trade value?

Knowing Benning he probably thought he was waiver exempt.

Offer a junk RHD and Benning will surely send it your way.

 

[Gecklund]

We have a junk LHD that can play RD. We actually have two just one is much more expensive than the other.

Great news for you we have one Joachim Blichfeld former Portland Winterhawk

 

[BCNate]

For everyone bagging on the Canucks here, who would take the over on 18 points this season from Gadjovich?

Why is that? This is a player on waivers, 99% guarantee he might not even last that many games or get any points...

What he will bring is some size to your line up, give it his all and stick up for his teammates...

Waivers aren't for finding a ppg player or game changer, rarely some good players come from it. Canucks got lucky few years back sneaking Markstrom down, after an untelevised game vs the Sharks I think??

 

[Name Nameless]

First time I hear of an ELC-contract being claimed on waivers. I always thought they were auto-excempt. So, I was wrong, again.

Benning probably had the thought process
