TheHitman Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Where does he fit on our team next year? Should we even bother re-signing him? It seems unfair to bring him back from Sweden only to let him go after spending the season on the LTIR. We could have a decent trade chip in the future if he plays well, but our offensive group seems to be set for next year already. Would suck if he went to another NHL team and performed at a high level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it's time to play the youth in spots that guys like Rodin would take. it's not about now; it's about the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope he does, but seriously doubt it. Likely, once he is healed up, it's back to the European leagues. I think the Canucks treating him so well though, is good advertising for any future guys from across the pond coming here. Same goes for Larssen. I know he didn't work out, but the word overseas has gotta be good for us, don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to think things didn't go as they should have, minute wise and also being asked to go to the AHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe anyone still wants Dorsett and his 2.65 million cap hit on the team moving fwd. IMO...Vegas would be doing the team a monumental favor taking on this player/contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a good D/occasional F in Biega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be more valuable to us as a Vegas option than anything else given the logjam on the right side now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNate Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I'd sign him to a cheap 2 way deal, with an out clause for him if he doesn't make the roster. He is only 26, and is a bit of a mystery. He could be a solid 3rd line winger who scores 15-20 goals, or could be back in Europe by November. Either way, I would give him a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the main Canucks page he's still shown as an RFA.... does this mean he's an UFA right now, or does it mean he becomes one on July 1st? Just wondering if we have any kind of rights to move him before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory they could move him like LA moved Bishop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I think Rodin will get another chance but is limited by the health of his knee. A 100% healing of his knee puts him in contention for a spot. Otherwise its a wait and see with protected minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
