Already proven he can by having better numbers.

Put ROR in between Van and Pommer.

It'd be night and day.

Put Coho on Colorado and his line mates would have to drop it down two gears so he could keep up.

Coho is useless and its a shame because I really thought he'd be a close Roy comparison.

He isn't.
- dadeadhead

so .70 PPG is useless. Got it.

Ryan O'Reilly plays with guys comparable to Vanek and Pommer.

The Av's have three forwards that were top 3 picks, and another two in Iginla and Tanguay who have played at high levels.

People are severely over rating O'Reilly.

You win with guys like him on your team(all around type player).

The same will never be said about Hodgson.

He was poor offensively this past season. He has offensive skill though. I remember when the tank was getting tight with the Yotes he looked way more dangerous than I wanted him too. He still stinks defensively though.
- Pierceme69

And there was a reason for that.

I'm not a Hodgson fan by any means, but there are plenty of one dimensional players that survive in the NHL.
- sbroads24

Agreed. If Ribero still has a job, Hodgson deserves a shot.

so .70 PPG is useless. Got it.
- Herzeleid

I think you meant .46 ppg player.

And yes when this team is competing for the playoffs/cup he will not be here.

You win with guys like him on your team(all around type player).

- dadeadhead

And we have that it Girgensons. We also will have another one in Reinhart IMO.

I don't want Hodgson here when we are good, but I think he can be tradeable after next season

Not when your both A) paying them too much and B) giving up valuable assets when you don't need to.

- Herzeleid

.46 for his career. ROR is at .58

Not offensively.
- Herzeleid

Not.....not offensively? How many goals did he have Last season? He is an average offensive player who is weak every other aspect of the game. He sucks. Buy out, take the 747k plenty, and move along. I want players, not garbage.

Defending Hodgson's ability, is like defending the Holocaust, it's obvious what side is correct. He sucks, move along, there is nothing to see here.

- sbroads24

Correct and IMO that's not what I want on the team I root for.

He can go.

Buy him out or IMO what will happen is when expansion comes he'll be on Vegas/Quebec/Seattle.

What exactly did ROR win in his NHL career? Lady Byng, right? No championships? Gotchya.

If they expand in 2016 that could very well happen. I read somewhere it might be 2017 though.

And we have that it Girgensons. We also will have another one in Reinhart IMO.

- sbroads24

I don't think anyone is trading for him unless it's a Clarkson/Horton type trade.

I think you meant .46 ppg player.

And yes when this team is competing for the playoffs/cup he will not be here.
- dadeadhead

You're the one who brought up playing with Vanek and Pommers. 34 pts in 48 games.

All around type players



Knowing is half the battle.

Nashville, Montreal, Vancouver, Washington, Minnesota and Calgary would disagree.
- awildmudkip

Where would he slot in on those teams?

Not top 6 at all

I hate Jake Gardiner with a passion, but I suggested Hodgson for Gardiner before

Uhhh...

No playoff team wants Cody Hodgson on their team -Stripes77

I never said top six. He's a fine 3rd line player. But okay.

- dadeadhead

The Alarm would go off if you did


Navin had some very negative things to say about you and I

Actually no I didn't.

It was said prior.
- dadeadhead

You specifically mentioned ROR with the two, the only season Hodgson played with them he was at a .70 PPG pace.

Was also at a .61 PPG pace on a really bad team the following year.

- awildmudkip

And adding his 4.25 million salary fits with these teams how?

Like I said no playoff team wants Cody Hodgson

We're arguing how good or bad Hodgson is, only in Buffalo.
