Bo fan Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 It will be interesting to see if Holm gets any ice time - like to see what he can bring Sad to see Rodin on waivers but sitting in Utica isn't doing the man any favors. Maybe he can play in the Swedish league. Wish him the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got slagged early season for saying he's a bust, and not good enough for the big league. Don't let the door hit ya Anton! He deserves a line or two. Anton Rodin; A Series of Unfortunate Events reaches its final scene. His injuries couldn't have happened at a worse time for him. Without them, he could have maybe found a place on this team in the first wave of the rebuild along with players like Horvat and Baertschi. .

Rabbit Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Best wishes to Rodin. Hope Holm will get some ice time in Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfstonker Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I am devastated for Rodin, he deserved a decent shot. Some guys just can't catch a break. I hope there is a "miracle at Christmas" for him and somehow he makes a complete recovery and has a great career either in the NHL or back home in Sweden.

A trade..... maybe. This seems like more of a chance for Jim to see what Holm has, assuming Green is willing to play him. I hope so too. Would be nice to see Holm make an appearance on this road trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hope Holm gets a decent chance, I've got a feeling he's going to be very different to the Larssen experiment. Much bigger, stronger and better defensively, excelled in the SHL and is killing it at the AHL level and a big reason the Comets have done as well as they have. I think we should give Stecher an AHL conditioning stint, he was far from great before his injury as it was. Tanev back ASAP but I'd love to see what Holm can do. Wouldn't mind seeing what Holm could do on the right side with MDZ or Edler ideally, the two Swedes might complement each other nicely. If he can only play the left well then pair him with Gudbranson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 D-men coming back in hordes. Rodin given walkin' papers. Utica floundering like a floppin' Coho. Folks..a trade is in the works. There's a few desperate Cdn franchises..namely Edm & Habbies. Also Ott's D are getting hit with injuries. Predicting we deal a fwd & a D(pkg), getting 3 or 4 puzzle pieces back, for the grand jigsaw.(E4)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I''m disappointed to see Rodin go. Anxious to see what Holm is made of. He's the hybrid PMD / Defensive D. Above average size, solid defensively, great skater, makes smart plays quickly. Olli Maatta... Stops short of grabbing the puck & hauling it up ice. Or blasting howitzer's from the point.

Lol same here, you see there’s this thing cdc doesn’t like and it’s called reality. The nhl has changed and if a player is not making it by 23, they’ll never be a full time player. So if you’re thinking a player at 26(almost 27) is going to break into a league(that most players are done by 33 or 34) as a rookie and going to excel.... well that’s some kind of childish delusion that I wish I could believe.

These are only complimentary players, who will support the core, then be traded for picks when they earn a bigger payday. If we had guys like that on our current roster, they would only serve to get us to the middle of the standings, and a worse draft position. Holm might be a good player, but is he really going to get us to the Cup? I agree these older guys can (and do) make impact on teams, but we need to stay at the bottom to build a winning core first.

What made you change your mind compared to last year? D typically score on the PP. Canucks PP has been inept for what about 3 seasons now? The top 4 defencemen on the team (Edler, Guddy, Hutton and Tanev) aren't exactly offensive dynamos. Del Zotto has had some offensive prowess in the past but right now I'm sure his only concern is being solid defensively and getting a bit of a long term deal. Pouliot has never really delivered on his potential either. Pretty much leaves no one to score from the blue line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Interesting - since Stecher and Tanev are close to returning. He has had a good start with the Comets, so I like that they are rewarding him by calling him up with the big club. I hope he gets a chance to play, maybe in place of Biega.
