    Anton Rodin | RW/LW

    I agree, from the looks of it he's probly sumwhere around 175-80...anyone confirm his weight?...but imo he needs to put on 15lbs atleast before he can have success at nhl level.

    Loui has better finish than rodin in my opinion but rodin is bit more physical. I would expect rodin to get somewhere around 40-50 pts in AHL. He could do better depending on how his linemates do but jus like eriksson I doubt he gets a game with the canucks this year unless the injury bug hits us hard at forward position instead of defence like last year. Anton does have the skill and does play a style of game AV likes but he would really have wow the coaches to get spot out of camp. This would be the best case scenario but realistically he plays full year with wolves and challenges next year for sure.

    I've been a big fan of Rodin since we drafted him but I think it would be realistic to assume he doesn't play a single game with canucks this upcoming season. He will probably have an average season with the wolves just because of the fact that AHL season will be a grind to say the least compared to SEL. Rodin did have some issues with consistency this year but he should be a solid contender next year. Hopefully people don't panic and start calling him a bust if he doesn't meet their high expectations.
  4. Schroeder should have a better season. The kid has too much skill and pride to have 2 letdown years back to back especially this early in his career. Addition of rodin should only help him. This is way too early to say schroeder has been a disspointment. I would just write this season off as sophomore slump and nothing more. Craig button is just looking at a name and numbers and making assumptions.

    lol this kid was playing against men this past year and now knows what it takes to succeed at that level and we shouldnt be shocked if he is our best prospect forward next to schroeder in the rookie tourney.

    oh man, really had my hopes up about seeing him try to make the big club this year but i guess top 6 minutes in the SEL would be valuable for his development. would he be elibible to play in the next WJCs??

    this kid already had amazing skill and now that he has some size to go along with it puts him along with cody and jordan as the best prospects we have. the rookie camp will be a delight to watch with all the promising young talent we have finally accumulated.

    the kid has a wicked wrister
  13. both of those are pretty fair comparisons to throw out there for now. he does have the skill set of Plekanec but hopefully a better attitude than him.
  14. you seem to be loving that the most. a guy that's on here 24/7 and always ready to bash luongo or hodgson or anyone not named Kesler for that matter.
  15. hodgson and schroeder will most likely play the whole preseason and should be the finals cuts unless they outplay wellwood/grabner to earn spots on the team. as for Rodin, he still hasn't played pro in north america even though he did play pro in sweden so that might hold him back a year from actually contending for a roster spot. Walsky might be heading to europe and Rai has yet to play a single pro game so i wouldn't expect him to be at the same level as schroeder or hodgson. as of now, if healthy hodgson and schroeder should have an intense competition among themselves to earn a spot, which could make for a very exciting pre-season. IMO hodgson gets at least 9 games at the beginning of the year to show his stuff in NHL.
