Canucks just picked him! With the 53rd pick. He is a LW/RW from Sweden. Tampa took Panik before us, and Orlov went after us with Gelinas


Anton Rödin

# Position: RW
# Shoots: Left
# Height: 5-11
# Weight: 174 lbs
# Birthdate: 1990-11-21
# Eligible for Draft: 2009
# Drafted: 2009
# Hometown: Stockholm, Sweden

Quote

Rödin's offensive game stands out thanks to his superb skating, his shot, hockey sense and puck handling. Usually scores quite spectacular goals and does not shy away from playing physical. Could use some more strength though.He has the offensive arsenal to be a productive player in the future, but has also the fundamental skills to be used as a role- and checkling line player.

Looks like a good pick from what I've read. Wonder how MG will adress the defence issue?

[TrevLinden16]

He's now our own A-Rod!

[Sick Hands]

NOOOOOOOOOO TATARRRRRRRRR

[midastouch84]

Seems exciting! Guys got a wicked name!

I wanna hear Gillis talk about him. Too early to form my opinion yet.

[Charmander]

huh, i cant find him anywhere on my THN top 100 prospects...hmm

but wow, Detroit, although with almost the last picks, (but 2nd pick in 2nd round) is able to pick up Ferraro and TATAR!!!

[Verloren]

Solid pick. McKeen has him at 65.

Thats Detroit for you.

[playboi19]

detroit got Tatar! GOD DAMNIT!

[g_bassi13]

Can't say I'm dissapointed, because I honestly don't know much about him, but I'm not happy we passed on Michael Latta, Thomas Tatar, and Taylor Doherty.

TATTAAARRRRRR

Lets hope this is a good signing. He has a pretty cool name though.

I predict he will make the team in 3-4 years.

[ilikecanucks]

I knew quite a bit about this guy pre-draft.

Obviously a Gradin special. I wonder if he had some inside information on other teams having him high, as I personally had hoped for him at 83.

I would have loved a little Canadian grit in the 2nd with Latta/Howse, but I'm extremely pleased with Rodin.

This guys numbers are gaudy in the J-20 swedish league.......not a lot of guys put up points like that, especially goals.

Dont want to get the hopes too high, but reading his scouting report on elite prospects make him sound like a mix between Datsyuk and Alfredsson.

Orlov would be a KHLer for life if he was taken by the Canucks in the mold of Kirill Koltsov.

Washington is probably one of 5 teams that could actually convince him to come over.

[bieksa3-]

I updated the front page wit some info.

[lil gordo2]

this guy will be WAY better than tatar in 4-6 years. Rodin is gonna be the next nazzy
