We better jump now while there is still room, before the band-wagon bridge jumpers fill the river with their bloated corpses.Strangelove wrote:

LOL yeahno, nobody wants Stubby....Hockey Widow wrote:Buffalo considering a Hodgson buy out. Have found no takers on the trade market given his cap. I expect some team that needs to reach to cap floor, Like Arizona maybe, could step up and offer a late pick in an effort to take him off Buffalo hands.
Agreed but he is young and some may still see he has potential. Unlike Richards for example. But I tend to agree since Buffalo has yet to find any takers.Strangelove wrote:LOL yeahno, nobody wants Stubby....Hockey Widow wrote:Buffalo considering a Hodgson buy out.

There are plenty of decent players on big contracts available to teams that want to reach the floor.

2. Cody Hodgson is clearly a very exciting piece right now. He has been making incremental improvements through the season and rising to the occasion in the most "playoff like" game of the season is incredibly encouraging. He may of course fall off but if he doesn't the Canucks are looking stacked.
He has 21 points in his last 31 games (56 over 82 pace) while playing 9-12 mpg, mostly with bottom6 talent. That is incredibly good production in relation to role and ice time, and something you rarely see from any NHL player let alone a rookie.
Very few teams win a cup with out some young players rising up and giving them a major push, last year it was Brad Marchant for the Bruins, the year before it was a number of guys for the Hawks. Cody is looking like that guy for the Canucks, but we'll see.
Oh, I could have so much more fun with this.Potatoe1 wrote:When a players is traded, or leaves as a free agent, it's pretty much a given that fans of said players previous team will take a far more negative view.
So while Cody was the golden child a few weeks back, the next Trevor Linden, and Hanks Sedins eventual replacement, in 2 more weeks he will be fully re-made into a small, slow skating, prima-donna, who simply didn't have the character, integrity or intelligence, to play for your Vancouver Canucks.
This is the nature of things.
A lot of GM jobs have come up since the fans at Rogers Arena fired - Mike Gillis. Strange that his name wasn't even brought up in conversation for those vacated GM positions????Hockey Widow wrote:Still think MG could have gotten a lot more for him at the time, had he made it known Hodgson was on the trade block.

Mike is too smart everyone
I bet Hodgson rebounds with another team that is in an better situation compared to the 2014/15 Sabres which is/was one of the shittiest teams in NHL history.Blob Mckenzie wrote:Kassian for Hodgson is and always was a win for Vancouver
