Hodgson-Kassian

I don’t know what to feel about the Hodgson-Kassian trade LAWL

First of all, it makes sense… Hodgson has no real room in the Canucks to be better on the long run. He was never expected to be a 3rd line center for the next 3-5 years. He doesn’t have the size or grit to be a grinder.. and it’s not like he’s going to replace Hank and/or Kes as a 1st or 2nd line center.

If anything, we should be happy for Hodgson to be sent to Buffalo because they are STARVING for that 2nd line center. Hodgson is the potential fit for that. He would get more experience and eventually get EVEN better.

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTT

If we’re talking about long-term then WE (Canucks) definitely got the better deal because Kassian is a solid player. He has the grit and rough playing style that the Canucks need for the 3rd/4th line as the years go by.

The thing is though, the TIMING doesn’t make sense. We only have a couple of games left before the playoffs and for the next 2-3 years, we WILL keep making it to the playoffs. Hodgson is CURRENTLY a MUCH BETTER player than Kassian. Hodgson could be more helpful on our deep playoff runs.

I don’t know…

I guess we’ll just see!
