He was pretty much there. Something weird happened to him last year in Buffalo, he just became really bad. Not really sure what happened to him. He lost the linemates that helped make him good. When Vanek was traded, it just fell down hill for Hodgson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honky Cat Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 15 hours ago, -Vintage Canuck- said: If had waited a bit longer in Vancouver, he would have eventually been the second line centerman after a Kesler trade. This would have impacted a lot of things - the Kassian trade wouldn't have happened, acquiring Bonino, trading for/signing Sutter... I'm not convinced that Hodgson would have been Bennings kind of player...He would have still been shipped out..IMO...Much like Schroeder,who Benning just let walk..for nothing.

Did they own it outright, or was it shared with another franchise(sorry, can't recall)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in the perfect situation here in Vancouver for a player at his stage of development, behind two good centres (Henrik and Kesler) so he got better matchups, and still got decent minutes and time on the second PP. But he got greedy (or his dad/agent did, depending on who you believe), got shipped out to Buffalo where he was asked to do too much too quickly and just fizzled out. Good riddance. I would rephrase that to say "he asked for too much too quickly". CoHo got a pretty hefty contract in Buffalo, the Canucks could never have afforded him at the time so he would have had to be moved at some point.

insomniac604 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hodgson was a good player that was overcast, most likely by himself. As our 3C he was perfect. Not too much speed but a lot of skill and an accurate shot. You put him into Buffalo as a 1C. He had one okay season during the lockout. But I look at a guy who isn't interested in improving his speed when help is easily available (Horvat took power skating), on a crap team that requires him to be creating offense every game, and I see someone who is complacent. He brought himself so far down that any opportunity he gets won't be enough minutes to score goals. Every year I am mad that the Sedins don't take power/speed skating lessons from figure skaters. But at least they have other abilities to make up for it. Hodge is young, in a transitional NHL. He absolutely needs more speed to be effective. More grit to win faceoffs.

Sergei Shirokov Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 When you play in the NHL, there are always 200 ppl willing and ready to take your job. Eventually, the COHO treatment was going to get exposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course lotsof people here are still upset about losing Grabner.... because... well you know... was going to score 50 goals a year. The Grabner trade was a very poor one, especially with the inclusion of a 1st round pick. I didn't need hindsight to tell me this one. I was hopeful that Ballard would do something for the Canucks, but AV decided not to ice him for any of the playoff games, except Game 6, I believe. It was a fiasco from all levels of management.

I don't know whether they owned it. They operated their affiliate, then the Hamilton Canucks, for most of the 1993-94 season when the owner "Double Hitch Enterprises" bailed after the first game. The team moved to Syracuse for the 1994-5 season. They owned the Rochester Americans starting in 1968 (when the Canucks were still a WHL team) and ending in 1972 when the NHL Canucks sold the team to a group from Rochester.

BanTSN Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 It is unfortunate that Cody Hodgson was never able to translate his awesome junior performances to the NHL. Nashville may indeed be the last stop for him before he has to head to europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
