It is far harder to get players through during the season than this time of year - further, every team is tied for first right now so optimism (including irrational optimism) is running high in 31 cities.

Would seem the timing is right viz everyone having to cut down their rosters, plus the health risk. For that matter, Dorsett would likely clear as well if they did it right now, but I just cannot see them doing that to him, unless he isn't going to fully recover and they aren't able to move him in trade. It's a bit of a conundrum now...Archie has somewhat outplayed Dorsett, but Dorsett hasn't played much....Jake outplayed Brock last game but I still have Brock ahead in that race...but Green knows Jake better tan Brock. I don't think they give up Dorsett for nothing but I agree he could clear waiver's (Rodin was a bigger surprise to clear than Dorsett in my mind) but I don't think they do that to him. I think they send Jake or Brock down if they want to keep Archie ...but I don't think they should....we need as many goal scorer's as we can get.

10pavelbure96 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Lots of players couldn't ever change European success to NHL success. Rodin hasn't showed me anything that he belongs here, hope Rollieo is right though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsurrey Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Is it time to send Dorset down to Utica ? See if another club picks him up ? Is Achie a better option over a busted up Dorset ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Achie a better option over a busted up Dorset ? I like Dorsetts drive and tenacity but as muscle for the team he is on the small side and is a bit overpaid for his role on the team. Archie is younger, bigger and comes at a lower price with probably more of an offensive upside then Dorsett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude is trying to adjust to a new league, after barely playing for over a full season. Struggle was inevitable, but his performance last preseason coupled with flashes this preseason show that he has the skill and talent. I predict time in Utica will get him back up to speed, and there's a good chance he cracks the lineup and stays later in the year. Especially when the injuries hit.

I don't even remember the goals he scored. I guess others have seen him play somewhere else I don't know. I watched his play last year and this year and did not see anything that said he might be an offensive threat in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Rodin shouldn't get too discouraged. Jayson Megna was way off the radar and managed to get into 58 games last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris12345 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Of course he'd clear. People on here over value Canuck property. Don't get me wrong good on them they love their Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but he did not get a fair shake. It seems from the get go they did not want to give him to much ice time or give him the talent to work with. This may have been intentional, knowing what they have in Rodin? He needs to tune-up and get some playing time. The best thing for him was to slip through waivers quietly and get playing time. ...He almost showed too much if anything; in the time he got and the personal he played with. Good thing he was sent down early and made it through waivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nergish Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Rodin in Utica is going to be so great for Dahlen’s development! Goldy, Boucher, Subban, Chatfield, MacEwan.... This is a very different Utica team than years past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very well balanced group and probably the most depth I have seen Utica ever have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pettersson was drafted out of Europe. He could be in Utica tomorrow - but he has decided it's better for him to stay in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake is what 20? Rodin is 26? Bad comparison. I realize Jake doesn't have to clear waivers but if he did do you think he'd clear? I don't. Rodin did.

DrJockitch Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Good, there is something there with this guy. I thought he made the team last year after missing most of the year before. Now another year of rust, needs to play a lot of minutes to get timing back and get used to NA game again. May start to see him back up half way through the year, particularly if Jake or Brock falter. Looks like Goldy is flying as well and Dahlen is recovering as well so may get a chance to establish some chemistry. I hope the Comets make a trade for a better centre for some of these young wingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
189lb enforcers? Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 If a skilled guy can't stand out on THIS roster and gets waived, might be time to make some admissions about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if you noticed, but we actually have quite a skilled lineup. What makes it appear otherwise is both low expectations from the last couple of seasons, combined with no elite players.
