CANUCK-EXPRESS Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I've wondered what happened with Rodin all these years. Glad to see he's doing well and close to signing with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcakes Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 4 hours ago, Alexandre said: Yes, I could definitely see a few trades by Benning at the draft. He likes to accumulate assets then upgrade or get the players that fit his vision better, sometimes using the newly acquired assets. Like he did with Clendening and Bonino to get Sutter. I don't know if Rodin is in their long term plans, but Benning recognizes his value hence the upcoming contract negotiations (heard on 1040 earlier). I wouldn't be surprised if Rodin was traded at this upcoming draft. Benning can do some funny things. Like, who would think there was room for Granlund? I don't think Benning knows if Rodin is in his long term plans either. But he's obviously willing to take a look and see how Rodin stacks up against the likes of Baertschi, Granlund, Vey, McCann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 IMO Rodin is a wild card that one can scratch the head trying to see where he fits. The concern becomes what effect it has on drafting and UFA signings. The plus Rodin has is his previous AHL time a few years back. Any suggestion that he slides into a top 6 role is a stretch IMO. The SEL is not close to the NHL and not the AHL either. Whether Rodin is dealt or actually gets a shot next fall is a nice recovery of a 2nd round pick. Any hype over his season might make a trade a better option to maximize his value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to figure out how things will work out in the end. I don't think, that even he foresaw, Pittsburgh getting enamored with Clendening when he dealt for him. He just recognized what Forsling's upside was and pulled the trigger knowing he wasn't losing value getting Clendening, and at the very least, was getting a more developed prospect. It was similar to another trade that a lot of people didn't like. Where he traded Shinkaruk for Granlund. No one knows exactly how Granlund will factor in the Canuck's future. All Benning knew was he was getting a young NHL player with decent upside for a prospect who might not have a successful career in the NHL. Every GM tries to improve their team, for the present or future, with each trade they make. With some trades, they are not exactly sure how things will fall into place but make it thinking it will improve their team. However, to be successful at trading horses, you have to be good at evaluating horseflesh. Here's hoping our trader Jim makes a bunch of moves at this draft. Even if that trade involves Rodin. His talent evaluation is well known and most of his trades and decisions on young players seem to be working out.

It's a term I believe more from the early 1/2 of the 1900's largely from horse racing but at times used in more popular language largely as a method of describing ones ability to ascertain value/worth especially with animal (or occasionally people). When actually used in it's horse racing origin it might be something like: "he's a good judge of horse flesh". Alexandre was likely equating hockey playing athletes with thoroughbred race horses there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Blight Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 His injury was in mi-January so he has already been off for some time.

These types of serious injuries can be rehabbed (with or without surgery) but often it takes the player at least one full year for complete recovery.

Fred65 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Talking of past draft picks such as Rodin I see Jensen was player of the week in The AHL and now has 12 + 7 in 29 games for Hartford. In Utica has 4 + 8 in 27 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
