Wow is he having an impressive year Just came to post the same thing. I know he's overage but still that's impressive to will your team to victory like that.

travel_dude Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Glen Gawdin had a hatty in game 4 against Evertett. All the goals scored. Now is 3rd in playoff scoring with 12g 17a (29 pts) in 22 games. Swift Current is up 3-1 in the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna watch tomorrow's as it'll be after the ELC game if anyone wants to compare notes on Gawdin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I find him to be a fascinating case, drafted by STL and they didn’t sign him. I wonder if it was the Blues choice or his? The Blues have scouted, drafted and developed very well and recent years so it’s a bit odd to me that they’d let a player dominating the CHL like Gawdin slip away, granted he’s a overage and he should be dominating. Even last year though 59 points in 52 games. Perhaps the Blues loss is our gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't be in their top prospects, or al teast he wasn't last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even last year though 59 points in 52 games. Perhaps the Blues loss is our gain. They chose not to sign him, it was their call not Gawdin's as the news took him by surprise, and they lost his right before the off-season. He was coming off a season where he had look to plateau and really up until this season nothing jumped out at your that this guy had a big future. 59 points in 52 games is not what you would want to see out of a 19 year old prospect who some question his skating. Form what I can gather the Blues didn't feel his upside was that high and that if he got to the NHL it would be in a depth/utility style role at best and they have a lot of depth in that area.

conundrumed Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 It's occurred too many times to ignore, an overager lighting up junior and ending up with an overseas career. We should be ignoring the numbers and lowering expectations, a lot. His main attribute is his size, in that he might be able to be effective in the A. PPG is not a great stat for a 19yo goal scorer. I know it's only 1 year, but it's likely the biggest dividing line for most. Gawdin has a huge uphill battle to overcome, look up a guy named Charles Sarault, his 108pts in 2012 was 1 pt behind a 19yo Vinny Trochek in OHL for points. That's fairly the norm in the CHL for where it goes from there. I am not getting excited about Gawdin, at all. He'll have a hockey career, just probably not in the NHL. No shame in that.

I hope UR wrong but it does bring to mind the truculence theory of BB on Smith did great in the playoffs and memorial cup but hasn't been able to bring it to the pro's I would bet he Smith will be on his way to the other end of the pond soon. I hate the fact he didn't make it as well as Carol another big kid who will probably end up with Smith so sad that the flames seem to pick em. But saying that we did get a smaller package which has been wonder for the flames in JH Hopefully Mang and Phillips can bring similar attributes.

travel_dude Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 A reasonable description of the player. Gives some good metrics. No point projecting him at this point. The one plus is that he's a RHS C with a little bit of size. Seeing as he produces really well with good players, he might just be another Ferland. Low risk, high reward. Or he'll troll the AHL until he's the top Heat player. https://flamesnation.ca/2018/04/05/flamesnation-prospect-wrap-up-glenn-gawdin/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it with a grain of salt. You never know how the game translates to pro. If you look at it as a free pick that may turn into a NHL player, then you will either be pleasantly surprised or mildly disappointed. Remember how we got excited about Poirier and Shinkaruk?

TheFan99 Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Gawdin is a powerful player he has a lot of pro strength. It is Junior hockey but his play is really consistent night in and night out. Austin Carrol was that way too in his over age season. He hasn't done much in the minors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zima Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Perhaps we can be a little optimistic with this kid I am really hoping some of these free picks will work out we could use a couple of wins in these free signings. He is being recognized for his play with the coaches and others throughout the WHL. I don't think either Carol or Smith were in that category? lets take it as a win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
