Profile Contributed By: Matt MacInnis
History
2003-04: Gendur made his Junior A debut with the Cowichan Valley Capitals, playing 17 games and compiling 11 points.
2004-05: Gendur transitioned to the WHL and joined the Prince George Cougars. He appeared in 60 games but registered just eight points.
2005-06: Plagued by injuries, Gendur got into only 19 games, scoring just three points.
2006-07: After seven points in 13 games with PG, Gendur was dealt to the Everett Silvertips. He really picked up his game in Everett, tallying 42 points in 48 games, by far his most productive stint of his entire major junior career. He was a surprise draft pick by the Canucks on Draft Day.
Talent Analysis
Gendur has always had very good speed but prior to his trade to Everett had been unable to convert his wheels into point production. A hard worker who also possesses a powerful shot, Gendur may be a late bloomer who is just coming into his own. His puck skills are not very good and it will have to be his work ethic that carries him into the next stages of his career.
Future
Gendur will spend this season as an overage player with Everett trying to prove he has NHL potential. After that he’s likely destined to the ECHL to work on his defensive game. Gendur has fourth-line upside barring significant unforeseen development in the next couple of years. That said, the Canucks saw enough in his play to draft him now rather than try to sign him as a free agent down the road so clearly they like what he has to offer.
