kmotamed Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 This changes nothing, he still wanted out due to lack of opportunity to play at a higher position. Kassian was hyped up to be actually worthy of a trade, but he's a dud, either that or 5 years away from being a good enough player to make an impact in this league.

Jaku Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I didn't see him thank Gillis for picking his phone up every time his dad called to B*%&$^ about Cody's ice time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Hodgson is not 'gone'. Hodgson is the only top ten pick of the Gillis regime. Hodgson is always going to be a Canuck and fan favourite. Accept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuck nit Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 We will never know how Cody would have turned out here. Mismanagement and ego's dictated his move,not some sad excuses from a GM that got a well deserved royal roasting. Google : Cody Hodgson ,Vancouver Fan Favourite and you will get 1.6 million entries. Happy reading. If you are too lazy to read through one or two go back to this topic that you are all posting your love messages on and read: The trade continues to generate debate in Vancouver because the Canucks lack depth at the centre position and Hodgson became a fan favourite while overcoming a serious back injury, sustained in training, to become an NHL regular in 2011-12. Meanwhile, Kassian, described by Gillis as a rarely available, prototypical power forward, has yet to display consistency in a Canucks uniform.

nuck nit Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 We are all Canucks. I would think that applies to players more than rabid fans without a sense of humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I admire if Cody has taken the high road....he's a good kid and a talented hockey player. I can't hate on him because he was one of our own and he gave me no reason to...I cheered for him not long ago. Unfortunately, I do think Daddy was likely too overbearing/involved and, when your kid reaches the NHL, you have to let him spread his wings and fly on his own. It's a man's game and the growth into it means you trust in the coaches, systems in place, etc. and the parents role should be in the stands, cheering. Some parents, however, are control freaks and live through their children so they have a hard time doing that. I feel sad that it may have impacted Cody and reflected back to him, when he's just a kid wanting to get out there on the ice. Obviously, I have no inside information or insight into this beyond what I've read - including between the lines. But to hang on to any ill feelings at this stage is pretty pointless...life goes on. Water under the bridge. Etc. Let the kid play his game for crying out loud and take pride if he does develop into something special that this team played a role in that. Just my two cents.

Smashian Kassian Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 The thing that he should have done is tried him with Ryan on the wing, that way your not costing Ryan ice time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Ha! Who was ever calling him a bust? And there's a slight difference between what Cody went through and what Kassian's going through. One had a nearly career-ending back injury, one did not. One was benched for being lazy and not performing, one was not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I thought he was forever a Canuck?????? Doesn't that mean we WILL see how he turns out as a Canuck????? lol. Your arguments are so ridiculous it is not even funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggins Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Drop all these lines down one and we probably have Kassian's position. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggins Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 If you were Hodgson would you have wanted to stay in Vancouver after how the entire situation unfolded with his misdiagnosed injury, his lack of being able to beat out an injured Kesler in the coach's mind, and with a GM who apparently considered you the biggest, whiniest prima donna on the team? This is also me just pointing out the situation from HODGSON's side. There are just as many if not more reasons the Canucks wanted to see him go. Pretty sure the writing was on the wall there. In regards to Kassian (and any other player) statistical production is only one part of the equation....yes I have seen your Justin Shultz erection going on in the other thread. Kassian needs to find consistency like all young players. And he needs to play effectively in all 3 zones to do so. Just like Hodgson or anyone else.

Smashian Kassian Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Actually that's not why people think he's a troll. It's all the things that came before, the language he uses and the refusal to have a discussion that shows his opinion based on the information he chose to include may be incorrect or skewed. This "people think I'm a troll because I'm not a cheerleader" crap is tired and wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
