Since the trade:
Hodgson - 8GP, 0G, 0A, -2, 7 hits
Kassian - 6GP, 1G, 1A, -1, 19 hits
ZOMG!!! We won the trade!!!
Seriously though, most of the detractors of the trade said that this hurt us NOW, because Hodgson was already developed into a key contributor, while Kassian was still pretty green. The truth is, though, neither are developed to the point where they can be relied upon in the playoffs as key contributors.
This also adds proof to the argument that Cody didn't score points with us IN SPITE of his spot on the 3rd line, but rather, may have been successful BECAUSE OF his limited minutes, and his quality of competition. AV has consistently showed the ability to get the most out of his players (with few exceptions), and Cody's production may be a shining example of that.
