Baer, Horvat, Eriksson Sedin, Sedin, Granlund Rodin, UFA?, Boeser (sheltered ozone line) Gaunce, Sutter, Dorsett (match up dzone line) Dahlen, Goldobin, Virtanen in Utica to start. They'll get games with injuries. Then (hopefully after inflating his stats in a sheltered offensive role), you move him (and said UFA, Dorsett etc) at the TDL and recall the kids to fill the holes.

I didn't mention Utica because of the lack of knowledge as to who the coach is going to be next season. Hopefully they have a good roster next season. Does Crammorosa fit into your line-up?

He can make a lot more money playing in Europe than in the AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory they could move him like LA moved Bishop. Great, thanks for the correction. I hope Benning is a better CBA guy than me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I'd give him a shot (if he's willing to come back). Gotta try and see what he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Play him. He can't POSSIBLY be a worse option than Megna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I have some doubt that Rodin (RW) will be a Canuck in the future. As it is, at RW they have Boeser, Goldobin, Virtanen, and later Lockwood. Not sure where Rodin would fit on the team. He's not a 4th liner. Maybe they could trade him? It's too bad, he's a skilled player and it would've been nice to see him play more. Just for fun, maybe 2018/19? Dahlen - Horvat - Boeser Baertschi - Glass - Goldobin D. Sedin - H. Sedin - Rodin Granlund - Sutter - Eriksson Virtanen I'm going to assume the Canucks re-sign the Sedins for one year (cheap). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmahyoung Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 1-2 years, 2 way contract. I wouldn't offer more than 2 million or so per season. He doesn't have the stats. If he plays well we can always offer him what he deserves later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that would be fair??? Unfortunately if we cannot make a case for him to make our squad > we would be better saving the dollars & the player goodwill. But I don't think that is the case. Dahlen for example was a good scorer at the tier two level in Sweden. Rodin a top scorer, winner of the golden helmet as best player in the top league.I think a healthy Rodin an effective 3rd line winger with speed. With luck, dynamic enough to press into the top 6.

Course it does not matter what I think so much... You've gotta sign the guy to even have a chance at him making the lineup. Unless we obviously think we have better options both for Vancouver and for Utica you offer him a deal we can afford at one year. Even then, if he makes it and plays decently but we didn't see a long term future with younger players developing, you've created goodwill by giving him a shot and then you see if you can get something for him if the young players are pushing for spots. Of course, we could sign him and he does nothing to make it a moot point... but we still sign him to see how that plays out considering the options we have for our NHL roster right now. There's very few guaranteed spots on a team that finished 2nd last in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agoork Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 If he is healthy and wants to come back, you sign on the dotted line and give him a chance. Absolutely nothing to lose. Gold Helmet winner of the SHL - huge potential, highly skilled. I'd be pissed if they just let him walk (unless his injury is deemed to be too serious).

86Viking Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Give him the same 1 year deal as we did last year. He pushed himself too hard in pre season trying to impress the team and unfortunately his knee procedure wasn't up to it. He has had the procedure again, this time in Vancouver I believe. He likely knows to not push it as hard but also will have had a bit longer of a recovery time. With his skillset he is an easy top 9 forward on our team. Healthy competition is never a bad thing, I don's see the Canucks rolling out a complete youth line up to start the year. Maybe if we suffer some injuries. At the very least lets see what Rodin can do in pre season and see how his chemistry is with some guys to start the year. He showed a good amount of skill is his short stint last year.

Lord Gillis Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 If he's healthy enough to recover then why not take a flier on him. If he isn't then don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice orca Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 He has had 2 knee problems in the last year and that's a concern. Hope him the best but our luck he reininjures it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jav_11 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I think he should get signed and be put in offensive situations, increase his value and he could get a decent return in a trade for next year's draft which is supposed to be deep. If he gets on pace for 40 points could net a net second or early third rounder on team looking for some offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misconduct16 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 He is a group VI UFA instead of an RFA due to the lack of NHL GP since the expiration of his ELC. I really hope we resign him and give him a shot... so long as that knee of his is healed. What a mess. With all the... interestingly diagnosed injuries the last couple years, and the apparent mismanagement of injuries/rehab, it sure seems like the canucks moving on from burstein and his medical team may have been a mistake.
