Players are very particular about their equipment, particularly skates. They don't just grab a pair of rentals like us plebs since their skates are all custom molded. He can miss a day of practice.

I've been management in hotels for years....as far as lost luggage goes...Air Canada has their share but damn are Delta and American Airlines the worst. I think baggage loaders are employed by the airport, however, and not the airlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that the entire lineup has tried and failed with the Sedins with the exception of the injured Hansen and questionable if Burrows still can....then yes, I think he has a shot of displacing Megna.

His only 'ok' skating and 'ok' 2-way/D game would be the concern if paired with the twins. The shot and 'motor' are there though. Too bad we couldn't somehow meld Boucher and Rodin together in to one player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type R Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I'm still of the mindset that you give Rodin (Swedish League MVP) 3 or 4 games with the Sedins, or at least try him with them on the PP. Hansens away, and he can't be any worse than Megna at the moment. I think Rodin is rusty, and playing with elite players like Hank and Danny might be all he needs to find his game, and bank some confidence.

Has the game become faster and the Sedins older and slower since Carter played with them in circa 2005/2006? That's 11 LOOOONNNNG years ago dude.

Yah but I don't recall him being a speed demon... just pointing out that RB might not be the worst choice here, as Hansen-ish speed may not be required.

I'd say it's one of the first things required to play with 36 year old Sedins in the 2016/17 NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's that theoretical perfect Sedin's partner idea out there. But we don't have that right now. If for some reason Hansen was out all year, would you really be OK with Megna and the twins for 42 more games and not trying Rodin, even once, on the 1st line? I just don't buy into the perfect partner theory that seems to make Megna the "right fit" or ONLY fit. If you look at the list of Sedin partners historically, there is a lot of variation there.

BabychStache Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 The best Sedin partner ever was a scrappy hard nosed French Canadian that did everything he could to stay in the show. Lets hope for a repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
