Hodgson playing wing now

"I just thought that the type of players that Joel, Cody and Billy are, it would make a pretty decent line and why wouldn't we try it?" Noel said, using the trio for a second straight game Friday night at the Toyota Center against the Houston Aeros.

what do you guys think? i know its way too early but does he get called up for the playoffs and does he see game action?

I have ZERO read on what AV wants to do with Cody so its hard to say if this will help get him in the lineup.

there was an article earlier this week that suggested that the move was grooming him for his next call-up. we ARE pretty durned deep down the middle - and the Moose are rather thin at centre.

same article no?


am i missing somewhere that it says hes being groomed for a call up? or do you mean a different article?


I know it keeps quoting Claude Noel ... i do wonder how much of the move is his decision or him being told by the canucks

I go back to the Lawrence Gilman interview with Matt Sekeres where he said Hodgson is staying a centreman and the future goal is to have the other current centres be his wingman ... if its a change in their plan for Hodgson, just seems to me they make decisions on Hodgson far too fast considering his circumstances

ahhh - I see, it was from Jim Jameson's tweet of the article.

reading between the lines of us having our centres solidified,
and the Moose being rather thin, yet still moving him to the wing.

The fact we traded for a 4th line center probably suggests our plan is to use him on the wing if he gets another call up this year.
