Vancouver Canucks: Demoting Adam Gaudette doesn’t make sense
Though Adam Gaudette struggled in the pre-season, demoting him to the AHL’s Utica Comets doesn’t make a lot of sense. It’s another sign that the team simply isn’t fully committed to the youth injection.
Well, the Vancouver Canucks had a chance to show the fans that they’re truly committed to giving the younger players the ice time and opportunities in the post-Sedin era.
It’s already off to a not-so-great start.
On Thursday, the team announced that defenceman Olli Juolevi and centre Adam Gaudette were demoted to the AHL’s Utica Comets after being cut from the pre-season roster. The moves aren’t surprising, especially when you consider that neither have produced much on the ice so far.
