[Signing] Samuel Pahlsson to MODO


Recommended Posts

No, we found, in a prospect, the long lost hope of replacing Bertuzzi.

Look, we were dreadfully thin at right wing, Hansen being our only natural right side guy in the top 9. And in size. So i can see the logic.

But it just created a different void at center. Kassian is a different hole completely. Its coincidence they were traded for each other, nothing more.

We did replace Hodgson. Hodgson's name is now Kassian.

I have a feeling people won't be complaining about losing Hodgson after next season.

Best of luck to the Bull. Thought he played very well for the Canucks down the stretch. Congrats Markus and good luck Modo.

For those who are calling this a failure on the part of Gillis, thanks for the drama - very entertaining as always - and still not missing Hodgson an iota.

By the way, we still have Henrik, Kesler, Lapierre, Malhotra, and Schroeder - and wouldn't be surprised if a young guy like Matthias or Bjugstad winds up coming this way, in addtion to the possibilities amongst the depth centres available on the UFA market...

lol, makes the CoHo trade look even better...

People saying Schroeder should play there. Right... a less defensive and smaller CoHo. This team definitely needed a downgrade for our third line center while costing us a couple thirds in the process...

He was scoring at a 10 goal, 30 point pace. We could do better at 3rd line center with Lapierre, but his experience is something we needed. This would have been an amazing 3rd line:

Jensen - Pahlsson - Hansen

Perfect mix of speed (Hansen), size (Jensen), toughness (Pahlsson), youth and experience and all 3 are skilled enough to score. You win cups these days with lines of a little bit of everything, and that line would have had it all.
