Kassian to Vancouver for Hodgson

[Sterling Archer]

Cody Hodgson is not going to be that great. I'm raging.

[26CornerBlitz]

WTH???!!!

[TrueBlueGED]

Love the trade. Love. It.

[Iron Crotch]

...'cus you just can't have enough 180 lb. centers on the roster!

 

(Hodgson can score, so I give him that)

And Kassian is?

[darksabre]

Well...I did not see that coming.

[nobody]

Can they throw Stafford in there for good luck? :)

[bills_fan_in_raleigh]

Cody Hodgson is a younger Goose??

[shrader]

1 more year on his contract and then he's an RFA.

[Robviously]

Ugh, I don't know at all.

[DaGimp]

This is seriously becoming the softest collection of players in the league. This team as constructed will never win a Cup!

[Taro T]

Center?

Guys on TSN described him as a 2 way center. Describing him and Kassian as 'a couple of can't miss prospects.'

 

Don't have much else on him.

 

Not happy with giving up the size.

Buffalo Sabres ‏ @BuffaloSabres

Sabres trade Zack Kassian to Vancouver for Cody Hodgson; ALSO - M-A Gragnani to Vancouver for Alexander Sulzer

[LGR4GM]

21 year old center for Kassian with the Rumor more may be involved in this deal... LOVE IT. AND MAG IS GONE!

[Sterling Archer]

Grags for sulzer makes me feel better tho.

[Ghost of Dwight Drane]

Well...I did not see that coming.

 

Hmmn.....who could have EVER predicted Vancouver would come after a power forward from Buffalo?

 

Who could have seen Vancouver giving up a real center?

 

;)

[TheMadCap]

Hockeybreak says Gragnani gone too.

 

Wow! I guess Darcy woke up from that nap early! This is the best news of the day IMO. I like the 1st for Goose though! Damn!

[darksabre]

Trading Gragnani is the best part of the deal.

[Iron Crotch]

I have to think this move was about acquiring a much needed young Center and we had to give up someone of value to make that happen. I wonder if there is/was something behind the scenes with Kassian???

[Lanny]

Hodgson was a top 5 prospect not too long ago, did have back issues at one point.

Because trade proposals that make sense are rarely discussed here :lol:

Only thing behind the scenes is that Darcy and Lindy love small soft players with no backbone

[Pville29]

MAG traded to canucks
