It's been a strong season for former Vancouver Canucks forward Adam Gaudette, who is playing in the American Hockey League for the Springfield Thunderbirds.
The former Canuck joined the Springfield Thunderbirds, AHL affiliate of the St. Louis Blues, in early 2023 after being traded to them by the Toronto Maple Leafs.
While Gaudette only played in two games at the NHL level this season, he lit up the American Hockey League and has been recognized for scoring the most goals, winning the Willie Marshall Award.
"Gaudette scored a league-best 44 goals in 67 games for the Thunderbirds, surpassing his previous career high of 27 goals set last season and tied for the fourth-most by a Springfield skater in 80 seasons of AHL hockey in the city. Gaudette added 27 assists to finish third in the AHL scoring race with 71 points, and was voted to the AHL's First All-Star Team this season."
The AHL said in a post on their website.
Not only did Gaudette finish the season with the most goals in the American Hockey League, he also set a new Springfield Thunderbirds franchise record for most points in a single season with 71.
The 27-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st and there's no doubt there will be plenty of interest from NHL teams that will want to sign him for the 2024-25 campaign.
