First they pick up an unproven soft euro, then they sit him, then they drive him to ruin.....which was the greatest crime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 If there is a positive to be found, perhaps he comes back just as strong - and the team didn't wind up having to expose him in expansion. Somehow I suspect he's going to want to come back and show what he can do in this league. We're looking to the future regardless; maybe later aint so bad.

Didn't work out. Nothing lost. Heh, try it again next year. Nothing to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Feel horrible for Rodin, I was excited to see him finally get his shot here and it just never materialized. After preseason it looked like he was ready to be a real offensive contributor but that injury just won't leave him alone. Hopefully he can make the team next year and be with us from day one instead of trying to come back midway through the season and play catch up.

I think you quoted the wrong guy. I have never said a bad word about Rodin. We can pretend I did if venting makes you feel better. I don't really care.

beni Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Hope he can heal up and continue to play the game. Will he make another NHL attempt? Can't believe so many people were complaining about him not playing, it was obvious he was still hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is done man, it's unfortunate but I don't see how you can go 2 years without hitting your full stride and expect to make the NHL. He isn't back for another 6 months man. What is that August?I just can't see it happening. He will be going back to Sweden. Book it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimito Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 him and Larsen are biggest disappointment this yr, right next to Lui. But at least Lui has a good record that we can only hope he will achieve next yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allows him to play in Utica to get his feet back under him until he's ready to try the big show again. Lol two way is two different pay structures. Does nothing and means nothing about waiver eligibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattrek Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 From what I saw in the preseason alone he's worth keeping. Hope he goes for a smaller show me 1-2 year deal as that would be ideal for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy rose from the ashes, against all odds. We showed our gratitude by lighting him on fire and burning him to the ground again the moment he got got off the plane. Total rubbish. The only people who wanted him rushed was CDC - A load of ------g hypocrites. Even when it was obvious to one and all who had eyes to look with that Rodin injured himself in the first Calgary game there were screaming hordes on here who ignored the NHL rule, which made it a necessity to have him dressed and blamed WD for not playing him. It was obvious he came over fit, he performed well in the pre-season and picked up a niggle. Nobody pressured him into coming back in the Calgary game (though I suspect the coach was unconvinced by his fitness) other than himself. Once more our fans, led by the nose by the media try to heap all the blame for this on the Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 While it truly sucks that the team wasn't able to fully get a taste of what Rodin could do, I hope that he is able to fully heal and have a productive life. At his age though, still trying to break into the NHL, might be too much of a hill to climb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he ended up re-injuring it against Calgary. Seems like he wasn't quite ready to come back, and now he has a 6 month setback because of it. 21 hours ago, LaBamba said: Absolutely.

When Rodin was sat on the bench in Calgary, people here, on CDC, were ripping on WD. Now that people found out his injury, people are ripping out on "mis-managment".

Nucker 67 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Who is Rodin? Is he that guy who played 3 NHL games and discovered he's in way over his head? Too bad about the injury, hope he heels up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After training camp (that he rushed himself into) he had to leave with a "setback" I can draw a picture for you if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
