-Vintage Canuck- Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 It's unfortunate to see that he couldn't secure a full-time spot with the Canucks, but this is the right move for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 It is too bad Rodin is going back to Sweden. But injuries were an issue. I also think playing a skilled player like him in a minimal role in Utica without at call up at the start prior to his recent minor injury was the undoing for him. A top talent in Sweden came over, yes he had a setback with his knee but was seemingly healthy this year. Just to see Megna get called up and a anti offensive Gaunce play in Vancouver over him. Sure, earn your spot but those two have far less skill that him. I can see why Rodin would be upset and want to be released. I dont think he was given a full chance to succeed. Disagree if you want, I just think he had some speed and skill we could have used on this team over a Gaunce, Burmistrov, Megna. best of luck to him, got to think that is his last chance at the NHL, or for sure he wont be coming back to Vancouver. Good luck Anton, I was pulling for you to succeed and make it. Unfortunately we signed too many fringe players in the summer and you didnt have that stand out pre season like the year before.

Great Granny Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Assuming he was healthy, I would have gladly played him over Vanek, Gagner or Burmistrov. Too much bloat on the roster for Rodin to get a sniff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Too bad, I thought there was something there last year. I guess essentially missing 2 years of hockey was too much. I assume going back to play in Europe. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missioncanucksfan Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I sense this is a timing issue and wonder that since a few D are coming back that someone is going to be shipped out. One or more of the returns could then take Rodin place on the Utica roster Like say for instance...Jayce Hawryluk after Benning trades Gudbranson to florida Just a thought....

stonecoldstevebernier Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The guy legitimately had some of the worst injury luck in hockey... was so excited for him to come over and play when it was first rumoured they wanted to bring him back, but it just wasn't meant to be I guess. Hope he can get back to 100% and still have a good career in Sweden, for his sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldoescobar Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Good luck to Rodin wherever he ends up. Have been saying he was not a fit for the last year or two and not surprised by this at all. Next up: Subban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The HC Davos make it official. Here is a rough Google translation: Quote Anton Rödin, 26-year-old Swedish winger changes from AHL to HC Davos. Anton Rödin (born November 21, 1990) is a versatile scoring winger who last played for the Utica Comets in the AHL and scored 44 points (15 goals / 29 assists) in 121 games in the AHL. The 2015/16 MVP of Svenska Hockeyligan (SHL) has signed a contract with Hockey Club Davos until the end of the 2018/19 season. The Hockey Club Davos welcomes Anton Rödin. https://www.hcd.ch/de/news/hcd-verpflichtet-anton-roedin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Good for Rödin. NLA is probably the highest paying league in Europe and third highest (after NHL and KHL) in the world. Team salaries can run north of $20 million and some of the individual top players can get $1 million or more per season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
