He was pretty useless as a Canuck, and now is a wavier-wire pick-up at best. Too bad.
Holy crap 2007-2010 was a bad string of drafts for Vancouver though. Hodgson was the Nucks best pick in those 4 years, and one of only four players who have played a single game in the NHL. Yikes.

Right. In four draft years they've had four players graduate and play for them. Hodgson, Schroeder, Connauton, Sauve. Schroeder was a success compared to the others. Pretty tragic.Jovocop wrote:Schroeder played 56 NHL games for the Canucks.

Shall we compare our 2007-2010 record with LA and then cry for a while?

Wayne Simmonds
Alec Martinez
Dwight King
2008
Drew Doughty
Vyacheslav Voynov
Andrei Loktionov
2009
Brayden Schenn
Kyle Clifford
Jordan Nolan

Tyler Toffoli
Andy Andreoff (I've heard he may make the team)
If only the Canucks could draft half as well.

Ahem. You forgot budding superstar Linden Vey, 4th round pick in 2009Benjo wrote:Shall we compare our 2007-2010 record with LA and then cry for a while?
Seriously, what does it say that LA can trade a 4th rounders for a 2nd round pick?

Well gilly traded away a lot of picks in pursuit of a Stanley Cup championship, plus when he did draft he went after "talent" a lot like Ricky Schroeder, andBenjo wrote:If only the Canucks could draft half as well.
Thank goodness Gilman changed the structure in our scouting and draft strategies late in Gillis tenure (before he got let go), that coupled with Benning acquiring picks and all of a sudden our prospect cupboard is stacking up!under Gillis, the Canucks have leaned heavily on the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and Europe for draft picks, devoting 14 of their 30 selections to those areas the last five years.

Canucks 06 draft only produced the butter soft Michael Grabner so that can be lumped in as weak too . Even going back to 05 with the blunder of passing on Kopitar it appear as though management and the scouting staff was asleep at the wheel

He made sure he got the head shot in. Just as bad as the Neal knee to the head I'd say. Went out of his way to accidentally on purpose get the head.
Didn't Hansen get 2 games for a somewhat similar play against Hossa?
The only HW the Canucks need

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
Nothing similar imo, Hansen isn't that kind of player. He was legitimately going for the puck. Problem is, Hossa's had a history of concussions & a melon as durable as an egg. If it had been any other player on the receiving end ( other than Crosby) there's prob no suspension. I think he got one game.Hockey Widow wrote:ClamRussel wrote:Starting early.

Marchand's actions here are intentional & w/ his wrap sheet he should get 3+ reg season games.
