MaxVerstappen33 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 So how much credit does Rodin get for being the MVP of the Swedish elite league ? I know Rodin is older but didn't Matthews get a ton of credit for bring good in the Swiss league ? How does the Swiss league compare to the Swede league ?

As noted, the Swedish league is better, but Matthews did what he did as a first year pro and 18 year old. It's not comparable to Rodin earning MVP honours at 25 after having played several pro years in Sweden as well as two pro AHL years in North America. And that's not to diminish Rodin's accomplishment - I hope he does well here and shows he can be a top offensive player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can he fill a spot in the top 9 or better still the top 6. JB only gave him a 1 year deal so it sounds like he's not exactly sold on him. It would simplify the draft for the first round pick if we new we had a gem in Rodin on wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, where other teams interested in him ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives the team flexibility in terms of cap, and it enables them to see what Rodin's capable of. If he can't hack it at this point, he's unlikely to ever make it, so this is a great way to frame his (potential) breakout year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but it also reflects on how JB sees Rodin..... he's not sure what he has. It's not as though JB is thinking Wow lets tie this guy on a good deal fro mulitible years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baer has more cred than Rodin but both these players have much to prove. Baer certainly has not proven that he is a NHL top 6 player no matter how much fans want him to succeed.

Sure, it might pay off like one in a hundred times, but this is reasonable asset management. I'm completely cool with this method, and I don't think the implication is that Benning doesn't value Rodin. That's never seemed to be the case when he's spoken of him... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think JB was late in getting over to see him before he was injured ...likely Lindgren scouted him. If howeve on the other hand Rodin was a stand out the effect would certainly translate into a different view come the draft ....in that case we would deffinitley be looking for a centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a spot One way contracts do not guarantee players a spot on the team, it just guarantees they will receive full contact value. There is no difference in pay between HNL or AHL. Example would be Kenins, he was on a 1 way contract this past year, however did poor in pre season and did not make the team, only ended up playing 6 NHL games as an injury fill in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
