Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
hahaha I think its really a toss-up with Kassian's toughness as per cliffhanger's post regarding sabre fan's comments... on one hand, we need someone who is big and is willing to protect the teammates, along with providing bit hits as an energy guy. On the other hand, we don't want some badass who will be in the box all day long.
Just look at what happened to SOB
The guy does play with a lot of emotions, he makes dirty runs, but dam he's a friken monster on ice.
Dammit. I honestly thought he'd be here longer somehow. I thought if somehow Pittsburgh has Jordan Staal on the third line, we could keep Hodgson there too.

Don't really know what to make of the Hodgson trade.
It appears we lost our third line offense, something so vital in the playoffs (depth scoring). For whatever reason, if the first two lines dry up, you look to the third line to chip in where they can. Maybe a more tough and gritty third line chips in more in the playoffs because their crash and bang style lends to it. I just don't know.
Thing with trading a 21 year old for a 22 year old, is we may not know who won the trade for some years. Depending on what the Canucks do this season, we may find out earlier.

Staal isn't on the 3rd line; he's on the 2nd line. Crosby is irrelevant at this point. I'm sure if Kesler or Henrik had a possible career-ending injury that had kept them out for almost 2 seasons that we would still be holding onto Hodgeson too.
hoping kassian is more milan lucic than ben eager...
but srsly, i think much of the canucks success is due to them being dangerous offensively throughout 3 or 4 lines, even when top 2 aren't producing, we're still able to score goals and pull out wins... but now i think there is increased pressure on top 2 lines to score consistently
it was definitely known but there's no need to for that.
also nash ultimately had the ball in his court. he couldve denied going to X team when it couldve been a big return for the CBJ franchise
Considering Nash has played for a shit franchise for almost 10 years, I highly doubt he'd be willing to go to ANOTHER shit franchise. Hence the NTC.
Shit franchises usually overpay for players like Nash, which would get a big return for CBJ. But since Nash has a specific list, the most CBJ will get is a Kovalchuk/Brad Richards/Mike Richards etc return.

Vancouver got what we have been lacking, an enforcer who takes on anyone and stands up for everyone.
CoHo was a great player, but we didnt have a perfect spot for him being a center. I wish him the best of luck in Buffalo. He will be one to watch over the years.
