Anyone who was posting in 2009 will remember how annoying our fan base was about this guy.

And at the time it was warranted. He was absolutely incredible in his post-draft season. Then the back injury happened.

Shall we discuss Kassian and his healthy scratches also?

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Canucks fans were insufferable after he scored this goal against Boston

 

[PuckSeparator]

LoL

Canucks must be pretty happy at least... a dud for a dud.

No, because at least Kassian isn't carrying a $4M+ cap hit.

 

[JaegerDice]

He was never that great.

Alain Vigneault is VERY savvy when it comes to zone deployment, and Hodgson saw incredibly sheltered minutes.

Then they traded him when his value was still fairly high.

They got back a dud, but I think that had to do with the fact that Vancouver was obsessed with getting bigger at that point.

This trade is hilarious in hindsight.

Both were hyped up prospects that never lived up to their potential.

 

[ZeroPT*]

He sucks. He'll probably get bought out lol

Wish he'd just shoot, doesn't even need to be that good, just take a few more.

The Hodgson/Kassian trade in a nutshell.

 

[omglolnub]

I swear the : smiley was made for this. Who ****ing cares at this point about Cody Hodgson?

 

[HP00]

I don't really get scratching him against his former team, if you are looking for any night he MIGHT wake up and try then it would be against the Canucks which would possible (unlikely) lead to a spark in his season. Either way it doesn't really matter at this point

 

[Era of Sanity]

His new role is getting the Sabers over the cap floor.

When the Flyers scratched Vinny he didn't come back until a game or two after they played the Lightning. Seeing your new team play your old team may have sparked him a little bit. Not that he's anything like his older (younger) self.

 

[Raspewtin]

He sucks. That's what happened.

 

[McDNicks17]

Obvious tanking.

It went from boasting about the guy on your team, to seeing who's less awful as the victor of the trade.

I dare say Kassian and Vancouver won.

Only reason is because they're paying him much less.

God damn that's a pretty goal though.

To be fair this was a beauty haha. Against Tim Thomas no less.

 

[EichHart]

My favorite Cody goal.

I'd rather have the Cannucks dud. And he isn't a dud solid 3rd liner.

 

[parabola]

Canucks fans were insufferable after he scored this goal against Boston

Mostly because it was against Boston.

Also what a hilarious trade... I guess Vancouver wins now just because of caphit?
