SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Just read the report that the Canucks are likely signing Rödin: http://canucksarmy.com/2016/1/27/report-canucks-intend-to-sign-anton-rodin (and posted earlier in Canucks talk). Great news if Botchford's "Provies" prove correct. Edited January 28, 2016 by SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneypuckOverlord Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 the absolute lowest we can do is a one way deal worth 900 000k for him. If he agrees to it, great, even if he put him on waivers, and if he does clear, he will be making 900 000k in the AHL, if no one claims him. (Fabbian Brunnstrom style) worth the risk? last time I saw him play...... dude was far from a NHL player....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not convinced he makes the Canucks out of the gate. Seems he's going to need some time and coaching to adjust to North American ice/hockey. Never mind that even without signing any UFA forwards, he'll be in tough for a top 9 role (don't see him fitting a 4th line role). Sedin, Sedin, Sutter Baer, Horvat, Hansen Shink/McCann, Vey, Etem Dorsett, Zalewski, Virtanen/Gaunce Grenier, Kenins Not a lot of room there... And a two of four good, NHL ready players in Gaunce, McCann, Shink or Virt will be sent to Utica. I'd also LOVE for us to sign Okposo. Sedin, Sedin, Okposo/Sutter Baer, Horvat, Sutter/Okposo Etem, Vey, Hansen Dorsett, Zalewski, Virtanen/Gaunce You could argue that would allow us to sell high on Hansen (if we chose to) but I'm not convinced he'd beat out Shink/McCann (or possibly Virt) for that 3rd W role either... IMO, it's FAR more likely he heads to Utica and works towards a call up. Also, is there some reason we're unable to sign him to a 2 way deal? Something like $900k NHL / $300-400k AHL? Still pays him well in either league (not that i care, it's not my money...just curious). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still pays him well in either league (not that i care, it's not my money...just curious). I would assume it’s because he’d rather not come over if he gets put into the AHL, Whether he’s right or not he likely feels he’s past that stage in development. Very similar to Tryamkin. It’s not so much as the money as it’s not worth their time to work their way up through the ranks. And in Rodins case has already played in the AHL and knows the level quality. The NHL to a lot or Europeans and Russian isn’t the end goal, it’s just a different option at playing hockey for a living. It would be a one year deal with big bonus’, it if works out he’d stay and be a member of the team in the NHL, if it doesn’t he’s be right back heading to SEL. He’s 25, the last thing he’d want is to spend the next 2 years as a bubble player when he could a star in his home town (getting paid handsomely). At this point it’s either he is an NHLer, or he isn’t. I think there is very little chance he comes to over to Canada only to spend more time in the AHL. As for the Canucks it’s a free asset. If he comes over and plays well, then we just acquired more talent to build with or use to trade. If he doesn’t, all he’d taken up was a roster spot, and some money. But you have to give him a fair shake, and if one year is all were going to get to look at him, then if better be in some impact situation, not in the AHL He is a left handed shot, but he does play RW, which makes him an attractive piece for the team, if we don’t fill a RW UFA piece (okposo) then his only real competition is Virtanen, Grenier, Hansen, Dorsett, and Etem. The fact that sending Virtanen to the AHL for a half(or full) season, probably doesn’t hurt him. I’d think Rodin would fit in the top 5 spots. Likely him Etem and Grenier rotating.

Maniwaki Canuck Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 If he is in the mix for the Canucks next year, all the more reason to convert some young forward depth into D prospects. At this point, I'm assuming Benning is just waiting for the right opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be another Brunstrom or Cervenka type situation. Both of which are back in Europe playing. Or he could turn out to be an effective NHL player.

Not really holding my breath, but you never know. Pump him and dump him. A Brunstrom scenario is most likely so trade him for a NA prospect. SEL stats are no indicator of NHL success or AHL for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 wonder how his recovery from injury is coming along? Is he still slated to be back before the end of his teams season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Where Rodin, a left hander, can (and he does I understand) play RW options are much greater. Gives us Etem & Virtanen, two big, fast guys who can snipe, Dorsett the Short disturber and a pure talent guy in Rodin? That's actually a pretty good mix.

Fred65 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Lot's prefer to play on their oppositite wing.....because when they cut to the middle ( hopefull with their head up ) the shot is on forehand Bure played that way in fact I think Mogiliny did too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
