carrotshirt Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Thanks. Good read. I've got high hopes for this kid. I'm going to have to disagree about MPS possibly becoming a top 10 point-getter in the NHL though. It's surprising how quickly the prospect cupboard can be refilled when your GM doesn't throw away draft picks like crazy. Although Gillis obviously ditched some picks to improve the team right away, he actually did, as opposed to the old regimes just adding broken down plugs.

Apples Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 He must have been working out a lot. Muscles definitely got bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonRodin. Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Okai. Just for fun, so lets say he stays like this - all muscular and stuff and grows a bit more. in his 5th year in the league, where do you think he'll be? (how many points will he have in his fifth year) My guess: 65ish points and just under 30 goals. NHL players are only going to get bigger, better, and faster.

Well, we have no idea about what the top-6 will look like. But, it will most likely be the year after the Sedins leave. Rodin - Hodgson - Big Guy Raymond/some other guy - Kesler - Schroeder Rodin could be putting up around 35 goals, 80-90 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildcarder Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Wow super dope, Extra 2 inches helps anywhere you can get it. Hopefully he is more of a force... It's not the size of the stick that matters, it's how you wield it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthycanuck Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hard to imagine how much higher would've been taken if he was 6'1 in his draft year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananas Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) Wow super dope, Extra 2 inches helps anywhere you can get it. Hopefully he is more of a force... Just ask you mother I'm pretty stoked on Rodin. The kid was already a good prospect, even when he was small. Now, he's not small!

The Kassassin Train Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Canucks drafting has really improved the past 10 years or so. Sure there was the odd mistake (Patrick White) but every team has some. Rodin could be another gem. Uhhhh What? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua59 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 when he was drafted, I became a fan of Rodin. I can't wait to see him im in the NHL. Our next Naslund Lets hope not. Nasland was nothing more than a stat guy that choked when the big games came. He was soft. Overrated by Canucks fans. I'm so glad that era is over. I liked him but he wasn't the leadership Canucks should have had. Bad choice for "C". Lets hope Rodin has a nasty side to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonick Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 You can't tell anything in terms of his size by the picture... Plus he's only benching about 195 in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyville88 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Maybe the Sedin twins can mentor him the way Naslund mentored them. Keep the Swedish tradition alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
