Gnarcore Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Expected. Archie, Jake and Brock have had too good of pre-seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkpoet Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 There was some smoke about him being released yesterday, which is a whole different scenario. Being waived though, he's eligible, so who knows what happens there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkpoet Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Rodin skating with UBC Thunderbirds as he still has issues with his US work visa. Has to clear waivers in any case to be reassigned to Utica.https://canucksarmy.com/2017/09/29/canucks-release-upshall-contemplate-rodin-and-juolevi/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honky Cat Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Unfortunate for him,but didn't demonstrate nearly enough...Hopefully,he makes it to Utica,and we can see him up here sometime during the season.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris12345 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 He's not my favorite that's for sure. I love that the Canucks move on from dead weight. Now waive Loui next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Some discussion in the training camp thread. Gotta use the future tense here, Rodin won't be waived until tomorrow, could clear Sunday. http://ckstam.streamon.fm/listen-pl-3370?smc=10 Anyways, he was outplayed at wing by Boeser, Virtanen and arguably Archibald. Fingers crossed that Rodin clears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalCanuckFan Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 If the Canucks did not sign Vanek, then perhaps he might have had a space, but he would still have had to outplay quite a few people. I have liked the Rodin story with his return to the NHL last season after a successful stint in the SHL. It was nice to see him get a chance to play in the NHL and it's too bad that injuries hampered his ability to get into the line up last season. Rodin has a bad injury history, has a slight frame and, IMHO, isn't a much better skill option than others that the Canucks have (e.g. Burmistrov, Vanek, etc.). He didn't have a bad preseason but he also didn't outplay any of the other guys. If Rodin gets through waivers, he'll be good for Utica and good depth for the Canucks. If not, then I hope he finds success elsewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkpoet Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 The thing is, the kid has hardly played any hockey over the last 2 YEARS, which sucks because he's turning 27 in November. 2 years is a lot to miss during what's normally considered prime time for a forward. Finally, he's healthy but it's going to take some time to get his head and legs back into game shape. You don't get named the MVP of the SEL because you're average. I hope he clears and goes to Utica instead of Sweden. Utica is going to have a great fricken team this year. He would do well to go down there and sharpen himself up.

chon derry Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 so 14 months ago we had 2 unknowns Larsen and rodin , everyones fingers were crossed , nice to have some depth ,kinda feel bad for both guys ,they did try to hold up their end of the bargain.

Provost Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Hmmm not on the on the sites so far. I don't believe you can waive someone at any time of the day, has to be 9am Pacific and everyone clears at the same time 24hrs later. Maybe he has been told he will be waived tomorrow? He wasn't practicing so it is coming I am sure. It seems like the roster is pretty clear right now (lines changing around of course and subject to injuries): Baertschi-Horvat-Vanek Sedin-Sedin-Boeser Granlund-Gagner-Eriksson Burmistrov-Sutter-Virtanen Dorsett Edler-Stecher Hutton-Tanev Del Zotto-Gudbranson Wiercoch-Biega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogersTowell Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 29 minutes ago, Honky Cat said: Unfortunate for him,but didn't demonstrate nearly enough...Hopefully,he makes it to Utica,and we can see him up here sometime during the season.. He had a hard time demonstrating much of anything as he had limited games on the roster and he was paired up with plugs who skate fast but forget to bring the puck with them (Menga and Shampoo). He'd show much better with decent line mates, although he probably needs about 10-20 games to get back up to speed after so much time off. I think we'll see him in the NHL some time this season.

JM_ Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 The only part of this that surprised me is they didn't try to get him on a conditioning loan to Utica first. So maybe he feels OK but that knee just isn't what it used to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Luxury Yacht Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 He may stick around if he clears until the roster dust settles, it's likely he'll be an early call up. It definitely won't surprise me to see him go back home to play though, he will have a decent career in the Swehl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
