NHL Director of Central Scouting, E.J. McGuire
Strengths: "Cody is a treat to watch. He is a very skilled centerman who’s hockey sense has him quarterbacking the power-play from down at the half boards. He knows when to shoot and when to pass – his point total reflects that. He’s also a good face-off guy; he can take face-offs with the best of them and win them at the OHL level. Quite an all-around asset to any team that draft’s him."

Moving Grags gives Mcnabb a spot on the roster that's an upgrade.

McNabb won't be brought up to be a 7th d-man.

I doubt it that Selzer has a 2-way contract so McNabb will continue to work out of Rochester

I think he will be back in the summer....getting Hodgson is great.
You want to trade someone like Gaustad to Nashville or Winnipeg, so that they want to come back to your team in the summer......not to LA or Detroit.

San Jose was the team that was flipping back and forth on giving Buffalo a 1 st for Gaustad...because they were working on a bigger deal with Colorado.

Lines:

Leino Ennis Stafford
Vanek Hodgson Pominville
Gerbe Roy Boyes
McCormick Ellis Kaleta
Hecht (on the shelf)

Sekera Myers
Reiger Leopold
Erhoff Weber
Sulzer

May see Sulzer play with Erhoff on the road trip.......

Notice that Hodgson will go from 12 minutes of ice time to about 18 minutes just because he will get lots of opportunity to play in all situations including PP and PK.....

PS. Expect to see someone come up for the trip to replace Tropp and cover for the injured guys Boyes, McCormick and Hecht.....bet on Paul Szczehura or Phil Varone or Mark Voakes getting looks in the next few weeks because they are centers and this team may need another one.
- RicoMartin

Sulzer will report directly to Rochester

Rico, please put Whitney Houston's crackpipe down.

Sulzer will not play. Period.

On the plus side, Hodgson doesn't have to fly to BUffalo either, they will be there soon enough

McNabb won't be brought up to be a 7th d-man.

I doubt it that Selzer has a 2-way contract so McNabb will continue to work out of Rochester

SOunds right give a nice stop gap till Mcnabb is ready for full time

Those lines are pitiful. Why would Leino Ennis and Stafford be the top line minutes?

Last time I checked Darcy didn't play Defense for us.. he was just the GM.

Regehr might be coupled with Leopold though.

- MikeyOz

Short flight to Cali. Does he wear 19 or 39?

Sulzer will report directly to Rochester
- mccrisp

does he have a 2-way?

Why would we bring up McNabb just to sit and watch from the press box.

Unless they bench Weber for McNabb.

Sekera will stay with Myers unfortunately.

Hopefully neither.

Oh dam, she ain't using it.

Leopold has been with Myers.
Regehr with Sekera.
Weber with Ehrhoff.

Sulzer will not play. Period.

I am sorry but I it's just the fact that some of the things said are too ridiculous.

- hubie

He can stop all the gaps he wants in Roch

Short flight to Cali. Does he wear 19 or 39?
- PassionBucket16

39 will be in the rafters soon

Wasnt that way Roy and Leino were supposed to do?
- hubie

No.

They should!

Lindy should go back to:

Myers - Ehrhoff
Regehr - Leopold
Sekera - Weber

I hope they send Sekera out in the offseason; McNabb is the complete package.

we won't bring up McNabb, nothing changes on D

now if only we can go 8-12 the last 20, end up with a top 7 pick and grab Galchenyuk!!!!!!!!

Hahaha I was on HF boards looking at Nucks fans reactions....went to the deadline thread right when the trade came through....THEY ARE DYING...this is what one mod wrote....


If we get Myers out of it I might be okay with it.


Hell Ill throw in some more


Hodgson....no....noo....why?

Myers better be coming back...F this.

I'm going to be sick.

If we aren't getting a high-profile defenseman, we got robbed...

Only and only if Myers is coming back, will this be something i can accept.

Guess they really wanted Myers.......


- HotSauceBlueChs

Those are the thoughts of idiots. Kassian is exactly what the Canucks have been missing since Bert left town.

This is a great deal for both teams. Guys like Kassian don't come around every day.

I can't wait for the playoffs to start. Kassian is gonna kick some serious ass out here on the west coast.

I think he will be back in the summer....getting Hodgson is great.

Do you have Roy on the 3rd line? and Ehroff on the last pairing?

Short flight to Cali. Does he wear 19 or 39?
- PassionBucket16

19 is cursed
39 whoever issues the number should be fired cause it should have been retired a long time ago

we won't bring up McNabb, nothing changes on D
- Homer

exactly

Yeah, yeah Gaustad, Hodgson, Kassian, Grags...

Who won the Matt Ellis sweeps?
