Can Coho Only Succeed In Vancity?


Recommended Posts

Just a speculation I am having- Similar to Torres, Ehrhoff, Anson Carter, etc...Who have done well in Vancouver but not so well elsewhere, is Cody going to be added to this list?

Because its been 5 games in, and Cody hasn't scored a point, and is only a +1.

Kass on the other hand, has a goal and an assist in only 4 games.

What would you say if this trade ended up being like Nazzy for Stojanov, in our favour again? Could we have just dismantled Buffalo in this blockbuster?

Sure lets write him off as a bust when its still his first year in the NHL while other rookies are in the same slump as him lets write them off and call them busts too! Yeah lets do that shall we without properly following up Hodgson.

It's obvious our star players, special personal training, and development system is what made Cody so successful here - heck, it's not everyday you get to learn from the NHL's best face off man, best duo in the world whom are both art ross winners, a Selke winner, play alongside the best D in the league, and get coached in the minors by star coach Craig McTavish, and when you come up, get coached by a Jac Adams winner who arguably has the best system in hockey; very few will get to do in their lifetime.

So with this, yea, Cody's success here was mainly because of the amazing facilities and assets he had here that no other NHL team has, so moving forward in Buffalo, he won't do good right away, as he'll have to learn how to get better without the advantages he had in Vancouver.

People are so quick to judge. It's 5 games for christ sakes. Everyone was complaining about the Hodgson trade and now people hate him for stupid reasons. For some players it takes longer to adjust to being on a new team, others fit in right away, just look at James Neal last year when he got traded. 6 points in 20 games last year, now he's on Pittsburgh's top line ripping it up and getting close to a point per game.

If you ever watched Hodgson play, you'd see that he had the skills to succeed in the NHL and play a bigger role for another team.

Ehrhoff succeeded in the sense that he fleeced Buffalo.

Carter could have been what Burrows is if he had a bit more forsight.

Cody now that he is playing second line minutes will also be facing top 4 defensive pairings. I think his progress will continue, but it will be difficult to replicate his numbers consistently. He will also have to face some large, mean, skilled forward lines and will have to work hard in his own end and down deep. He's not the fastest or biggest centre, but we all know his shot alone should probably guarantee him his share of goals, and he passes the puck well. I also don't think he is ready to be a consistent top six scorer nor to simply create offence on his own - at this point, he needs to be in a situation where he is surrounded by solid two way players, but I think everyone would be shocked if he turned out to be a bust.
