I was never really an Ennis guy, but what he did on a team devoid of talent this season was very impressive. I'm excited about our top-6 with Eichel, Kane, Ennis, Moulson, and Girgs. We need one more top-6 winger and a goalie and I think we'll be moving in the right direction.

Hodgson, Grigs.

Hodgson, Grigs.
- Herzeleid

Grigs could maybe play a top-6 wing spot. Hodgson, not so much.

As long as his concussion issue from last year is done.

Yes please!


Kid is going to be a good one.
- dadeadhead

he is going to be a horse

I would throw them an offer

no way they should trade him IMO, he will be a fringe all star player in 2 years

He didn't make a baba booey on that play
- Pierceme69

all I can picture was that pathetic pitch he threw out at the mets game

Grigs could definitely play a top-6 wing spot. Hodgson, not so much.

And why is that?

Because he's not very good? You may be the only one in here who thinks he could be a top-6 winger.

I see you seem to think this past season was his first time playing. Outside of this past season, show me any reasons why he's "not very good".

Is 34 pts in 48 games considered "not very good"?

Can the guy who led our team in points in '13-'14 not play on our 2nd line?

Should we instead give up valuable picks and D prospects for ROR (or a different top 6 winger we don't even remotely need right now)?

What is this me thinking he could be a top 6 winger crap? He was a top 6 player before Nolan/last year and he will continue to be a top 6 player.

The quicker they move Hodgson either by trade or buying him out, the better off they will be.

I agree, I think Hodgson can come back, especially under a coach not named Nolan. He's had one bad year, and found himself on the 4th line most of the year. Hopefully he has a good summer of training, and comes into camp determined to make the top 6.

Yeah, why would we need a guy who scores 55-60 points every season and plays a solid two-way game when we have a guy who has one 40 point season and is a sieve on defense.

Hodgson plays a two-way game ? when did this happen.

Even if you want to overlook last season, he's not a top-6 player. His numbers support that. He isn't even worthy of carrying ROR's jock strap.

This Jeremy Wade guy is great.

He doesn't. You should go back and read (reed, reid) the disagreement. I'm on the anti-Hodgson side.
