Adarsh Sant Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has recalled forward Anton Rodin from the Utica Comets. Rodin, 26, has appeared in three games for the Comets this season recording two assists (0-2-2). In 2016.17, he appeared in three games for Vancouver recording one assist, and three games for Utica also collecting one assist. Rodin missed most of the 2016.17 season due to injury. Rodin played for Brynas IF Gavle of the Swedish Hockey League from 2013-16 and in 2015.16 won the Gold Helmet as the league's Most Valuable Player with 16 goals and 37 points in 33 games. A native of Stockholm, Sweden, Rodin was selected by Vancouver in the second round, 53rd overall, at the 2009 NHL Entry Draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BO_Scorvat Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Can Rodin make it to Vancouver in time for the game? Or are we stuck with molten Megna? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Sounds like Boeser is worse off than day to day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I believe Megna is more about managing and maximizing their LTIR space than anything else. Regardless, he's never going to light up the scoreboard, but he's a serviceable 4th liner if needed. He's not as bad as everyone likes to make it sound, and at 675k per season, is incredibly cheap, reliable coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldobin has been good with the Comets and has reason to think he's earned a callup. Otoh, the callup makes some sense. From the Comets point of view, they're losing a vet. Since their vets can't all play because of AHL development rules, it doesn't hurt the Comets much. Goldobin or Boucher getting called up would hurt the Comets far more. From the Canucks point of view, Rodin's situation isn't as bad as it looks. He was a late cut in camp (later than Goldobin iirc) but then sat a couple of games waiting for a work visa in the U.S.A. Then he appeared in one game and pulled a hamstring so sat again. His first real action was this weekend and he got 2 assists in 2 games. So while Goldobin has been impressive, the callup of Rodin may help the Canucks about as much and won't hurt the Comets. All that being said, I'd have been tempted to call Goldobin up.

Ossi Vaananen Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Great! I doubt he plays tonight though. Certainly a more offensive option than Megna, and granted the Boeser slot would be on one of the Burmi/Horvat lines, could be a great fit for Rodin. I thought it might be Boucher or Goldobin, but I'm guessing they'll just let those two tear up the A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliboy Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Goldy is embracing the 200 ft. game in Utica, just leave him there and let him play, call him up later in the season and then maybe he'll be ready to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I believe the Canucks want Megna's speed. I'm not sure why they're calling up Rodin though, to sit in the press box? Or does Megna play against DAL and then Rodin plays the next one (NJ)? I'm guessing Boeser will be back against PIT on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 If I am Goldobin I am understandably upset. But if I am Rodin I am thrilled knowing I've not been playing much and would come out hungry But, here's the important thing. If I am Benning I am looking at serviceable options. I am looking at who is potentially not going to be here next year and thinking of ways to get value out of them. Burmistrov Rodin Vanek Dorsett And of course our endless options of trade bait on the blue line. Rodin coming up makes the most sense because he needs to play, Goldobin needs to keep learning and playing that 200 foot game and we need to highlight potential trade pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleboy Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Gaunce will be filling a spot real soon , so getting a look at a player like Rodin before Gaunce needs to return would be wise. Megna can go back down. I wonder if we will hear that Boeser has a fracture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Crossbar Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 With Boeser out, Rodin is getting the opportunity he needs. Same with Megna. They both need to follow Boeser's lead and make the most of their play. Rodin needs to pick up the scoring slack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
