I swear the: smiley was made for this. Who ****ing cares at this point about Cody Hodgson?
But he's so handsome. Admit it, that's why you Canuck fans loved him.
Cody Hodgson is a healthy scratch today vs Canucks

Hodgson has offensive talent but he's too slow, loses every battle for the puck and has no defensive awareness. If he get faster, ups his compete level and gets better in the defensive zone he can be a good top 6 NHL player. What are the odds of this... < 5% IMO.

He won't get faster.
He trains with Gary Roberts in the off-season so if Gary can't make him more explosive then nobody can.

I remember that. Good times. Too bad all our gloating had to end so fast.
But seriously, I could have expected Kassian hitting the low he has, what's up with Hodgson? The guy has elite level hands and a pretty good mind for hockey. Albeit, he's not great defensively, but he's a star at the other two parts of the rink. I thought he'd make a pretty good prototypical #2 centre who could put up 50-70 points a year and make in impact.

Hodgson really needs his wingers to do the heavy lifting for him. Once he's in the offensive zone he is very smart and good with the puck. He is a flawed player on a team that highlights his flaws.

I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems but Kassian is 27 of them.
How do you get benched on a team that lost 13 straight in regulation. When you are the third highest paid forward on the team.

I'd wager that he and Nolan don't get along, based on Nolan's comments. He didn't get along with AV either.
Glad we dropped this guy, even if the trade was a wash.

I would love for this to happen. Nolan has been holding in his rage all season.I hope Nolan is ready to receive a call from Cody Hodgson's dad. I heard he's pissed
His defensive awareness isn't why he sucks defensively. It's because his first step is so awful that he's always behind one second on every play. He wasn't completely useless as a player when he could keep up offensively but now he's one second behind at that too. His overall skating outside of his first step is actually fine, his speed is enough for the NHL and his stride is cleaned up. That first step just does him in and until it gets fixed if it ever does he is going to struggle without a great center to carry him. If Buffalo pairs him with a world class center he could be a 30 goal scorer as early as next year. He's a passenger player right now.

Still, before this season, he had 78pts in 120games... not bad!
He really struggles this year but I would be patient, he's a great offensive player!
