Yea my boss predicted he might make the team. I laughed in his face.

So many dope goals.

As I always said; never would I EVER trade away Hodgson for Kadri. Neither would 30 GM's if given the situation. Kadri hasn't had anywhere near the junior career Hodgson has, not even remotely. It's starting to translate into the NHL as well.

I wouldn't trade Kadri for Hodgson. You take Hodgson, and compare him to the rest of his draft class, and he's behind the majority of them in his progress. You take Kadri, and he's behind maybe 5 or 6 of them?

throw in back injuries to boot, and not a tough decision for me.

Thats a far cry from some of your predictions over the last 3 years... and even this years predictions... Kadri would blow right by him in the standings?(2 p in 8 games vrs 8 p in 9 games) Hodgson will be sent down?(he's been here since last season actually, no scratches this year) Hodgson will get maybe 25 points if he's lucky(which he's already passed).

Of course you are still and always will be ignoring what kind of level of play it would take for a rookie to stay on the Canucks. The gap between the Nucs and Leafs is miles apart in this department. You talk about him being behind but he's already blowing by where Henrik and Kesler were in their rookie year playing on the 3rd line where they slowly developed. When Kadri is quarterbacking his own PP unit(AV even calles it Cody's unit), come back and argue this....

To play devil's advocate, toronto's is arguably a tougher roster to crack, given Wilson's fondness for a strict division of two scoring lines and two defensive-minded lines. AV employs a more balanced attack. Renny puts the likes of Omark on a 3rd line. You'd never see that in Toronto. Not saying that CoHo is below the talent threshhold of the leafs line-up, but if he wasn't on the top 6, he wouldn't be in on the team. That provides a complication to your comparison.

Prock.....

What does their drafts have to do with anything. Hodgson is a better player currently, has a better pedigree and likely has the better future. It's a no brainer, which is ironic considering you do in fact have no brain.

I'm just happy he's healthy and starting to show the rest of the league why canuck fans were so excited by him. I laugh at Toronto being a harder roster to crack..that comment is on crack. I wish the leafs well though and Kadri looks like he'll be a nice sniper.

do you read the reasoning behind the statement, or just judge the statement alone?

I hear what you're saying but Hodgson makes the Leafs and Canucks before Kadri does, hands down.

That's nice.... Point is, more than Hodgson. In both the AHL and NHL.

PS... drafted the year after Hodgson.

How about comparing them in the nhl thus far? Oh, wait, you won't wanna do THAT

Are they mutually exclusive? Perhaps an alternate statement that more accurately reflects the reasoning would be a better choice.

if you actually bothered to read past the first scentence, we wouldn't be in this position.

Cody is tied with Kesler for goals and closing in on him in points.

Matt read keeps scoring. It's going to be tough for CH to pull ahead in the Calder race. Not bad for a 12 minute a night player though.

Dont use periods and there shouldnt be a problem then....

Won't matter once Nuge is back.

We'll see. It wouldnt be he first time a rookie comes back from injury and struggles playing on a last place team for the rest of the season. He's a star in the making though. Players straight out of junior sometimes have a tough stretch late. 82 games at late season level wont help his cause.

That's my first scentence. If you want to take "toronto is a tougher roster to crack" out of that, then that's your failing, and your miscomprehension of something that's pretty simple.

Edit: I'm drunk, and misread what you said have a good night.

Must be a slow news week.

Cody currently smashing the majority of his draft class, contrary to what some idiots say.

Out of all the forwards drafted only three have had more successful careers thus far.
