Around SBN: Shaq As Orlando Magic General Manager? Don't Bet On It

Thursday: Volpatti down, Oreskovich up
Friday: Hodgson down, Salo up

Size and defensive reinforcements coming in, but what about Hodgson? The thought was dropping Bolduc meant Hodgson found a home, but MG has other plans.

As Sekeres just tweeted: "With Hodgson's demotion, seems Canucks are back to playing out-of-position Ws in the middle of their 4th line."

Canucks will carry 12 forwards heading into tomorrow night's game with Calgary.

'Nucks Misconduct - Housing Swedish Millionaires Since 2000.

by Yankee Canuck on Feb 11, 2011 10:11 AM PST up reply actions  

With our D dropping like flies

I don’t mind the idea of carrying more of them on the big club’s roster. Salo isn’t exactly known for his durability. It’s probably a good idea to have cover.

Who extra do we extra right now?

Bieksa, Salo, Alberts, Rome, Ehrhoff, Tanev in play, Sweatt broken, Hammer probably out for a couple games.
We’re riding thin on both fronts, unless they’re planning on calling up more

For the record, they’re carrying 12 forwards because they have 9 d-men on the active roster. (Max 21 skaters plus 2 goalies) Apparently Sweatt, Hamhuis and Ballard aren’t on the LTIR right now.

Someone enlighten me.

I don’t get the Hodgson demotion. Sure he’s not a 4th liner, but I feel that the relatively few minutes he gets on that line as compared with the time he’ll play in Manitoba is worth it. The NHL is ferocious. Why shouldn’t CoHo be continually exposed to that dynamic at this point in his career?

CoHo has a slightly higher than average salary, Ballard isn’t on IR, nor is Sweatt and Salo’s salary is coming back on the books.

1. They want to see Oreo before the trade deadline. He hasn’t played with the ’nucks yet.

2. The roster’s full with 9 d-men (Ballard, Hamhuis, and Sweatt only on IR) so they have to send a forward down until a dman’s put on LTIR or sent down.

Also how much development is he going to get 5-6 minutes a game. Seems to be a good spell to get his feet wet (he may get called up again) but for now maybe Gillis is trying to get his warriors in a row for the deadline/post season push.

I though the point was that he and the other centres could teach Glass how to win faceoffs as he already has decent defensive positioning and faceoffs are the one thing a centre needs to work on that wingers don’t.

What were you expecting??

His shooting percentage last year was unsustainable and while this year it has been below his career average he is on pace for around 25 points which wouldn’t be completely out of line with what he has done in the past. And a lot more goes into winning a hockey game than scoring points. I mean he only has 17 points in 55 games and is a minus 1. Considering who he is playing against that’s actually pretty good.

That’s because you’re wearing Malhotra-tinted glasses. Torres has more goals and points than Malhotra and he’s getting paid 1.5 million less.
What do I expect from Malhotra, Section? 15 goals and 35 points.

Torres

Is doing about as much as I expected. It would be nice if he spread some of those points out as opposed to getting them all at once, but he has produced, and hits hard, and only makes 1M.

I just wish he had better finish

So you were

expecting him to have a career year? He’s never scored that many goals and 35 points would tie a career high. That’s lofty expectations. Really lofty.

I feel like if people

are disappointed in Torres and Malhotra they had overly ambitious expectations. Torres is on pace for 31 points. Again pretty much in line with his normal output. Torres hasn’t really had a good year since 06-07 so why would you think he would be better now? Not everyone is going to have a career year for us every year. Plus he only makes a million bucks. 15 or so goals for a million bucks is actually a pretty good deal.

Here's my guilty pleasure

Wellwood: 25 points last year
Malhotra: on pace for 27 points
Wellwood: 13:50 TOI
Malhotra: 16:30 TOI
Wellwood: 20.4% PP, 0.4% PK (of the total team TOI)
Malhotra: 12.5% PP, 46.3% PK (of the total team TOI)
Wellwood: 46% Offensive Zone Starts
Malhotra: 27% Offensive Zone Starts
Wellwood: -0.016 Qualcomp
Malhotra: .015 Qualcomp
Wellwood: -0.252 Qualteam
Malhotra: -0.380 Qualteam
Wellwood: 30 giveaways
Malhotra: 12 giveaways
Wellwood: 30 takeaways
Malhotra: 35 takeaways
Wellwood: 30 hits
Malhotra: 46 hits
Wellwood: 53.8 FW%
Malhotra: 62.2 FW%

And those are Wellwood’s complete season numbers, not partial like Malhotra’s. So what I see is a player doing a lot more with a lot less, to speak of nothing about his play away from the puck. He’s done so in less advantageous situations on the ice and with less talented linemates (I’ll let others debate Torres V Bernier). If you want to fault a defensive-minded forward for not scoring, have at it. But he’s worth every blessed penny of his salary and our team would look/perform a hell of a lot worse with not on the third line.

Tambo adds blazing speed, skill and tenacity to a third line which is in serious need of an ability to score.
Torres plays on a rough and tumble line and doesn’t mess up Money and Hansen’s defensive work. This works best for him. He can bump and grind and cause a whole world of trouble for opposing lines and maybe get a few goals the way he knows best – garbage time.

That whole third line

can actually motor. Hansen is a great skater. Torres on the 4th line is perfect because he can’t score anymore and on the 4th line he doesn’t really need to score.

by BrandenCooper on Feb 11, 2011 11:38 AM PST up reply actions  

Perspective

Money wasn’t brought in to score, he was brought in to win faceoffs and alleviate the checking duties of Kesler to allow him to increase his scoring.

Malholtra has been brought up in the Selke conversation, he is second in the league in Faceoff % and nightly matches up against the toughest opposition in his own end. Ryan Kesler has already surpassed his goal scoring totals, is top 10 in the league in +/- and is in contention for the Hart trophy.

Just because someone doesn’t score 50 point doesn’t mean they aren’t doing what we want them to and fulfilling the role they were brought in to play.

I think Malhotra on the fourth line is a terrible idea. He eats up some prime minutes and is way to valuable to bury. Torres played himself down to that level, he deserves the demotion. Like Section said, if he can’t score, then he’s the perfect fourth liner. Maybe Tambo (who’s a wildcard) and Hansen can help bump the slump there, but I love what Malhotra’s bringing, offense or no offense.

Yeah, Branden’s lineup looks more like what we had last year with the 3rd line as a poor man’s second line. Although it provides 3 lines of scoring instead of our current 2, the second line will be trying to score while trying to stop the opposition from scoring.

This isn’t a terrible idea for the regular season when teams lull into the monotony of meaningless games, but in the playoffs, I prefer the current 3rd line.

Here are some things to consider then:

- The Canucks current set up of 1)offense 2)offense 3)defense 4)size/skill has them first place in the entire league

- Last year the Canucks needed a more defensive 3rd line for the playoffs so they didn’t have to use kesler and sammy defensively

Why change the way we do things when we are first in the league and have a better system in place: use kesler and sammy for secondary scoring and the third line to shut down the other team?

Here’s why: we all want to see Cody Hodgeson play some NHL minutes because we are all rooting for him to make it in the big leagues. Well guess what – when he’s ready to contribute on the best team in the league, he’ll make the team. Until then, let him dominate in the AHL on a top line. We’re a Detroit calibre team now (bringing in our pieces when they are fully ready), not a rookie rosterbators like Edmonton.

well since we got CoHo with Hank and Kes down the middle long term anyone here think its possible we could/would be willing to part with someone like Shroeder in a deal with Atl for Bogosian? I mean, considering Shrods isn’t exactly NHL ready and Bogosian is in his 3rd year I believe it might take a little bit more to sweeten the pot, but apparently ATL isn’t so opposed to moving him and on a poll on their fan site over at nhl.com they said they needed a scoring forward. Considering Bogosian has struggled the past year and a half he may not be all too expensive either, and he has all world potential. Maybe it fits? Just a thought about a potential move that might help out.

Think we would need a bit more than Schroeder…they’d want CoHo.

They'd probably

want more than CoHo. Much more. Potential stud number 1 D men are hard to find.

I actually

would LOVE to see someone like Bogosian come in to replace Ehrhoff and or Bieksa.

Actually yeah, that would be pretty sick. I just wouldn’t want to trade one of the few good forward prospects we have

You can NEVER be too

deep at center. Just like on D. You never know what might happen. Hank could retire after we win a cup. It would be nice to have a ready made replacement.

i agree but

that sort of deal would only include one of CoHo or Shordes right? plus one of our d prospects im assuming and a potential pick. what’s the sense of having both when you can use one to go out and get a potential stud dman?

A guy like Schroeder

I would be okay with trading – I just don’t think trading possibly the best young centre prospect we might have for a while is a good idea. But like you said, I don’t know if Shredder + picks/more prospects would be enough.

You can NEVER be too deep at center. Just like on D

THIS.

If you have too many good centremen, just play one of them at wing. Knowing centre isn’t exclusive – it’s like being a winger + a bit of a defenseman.

by SteveNux on Feb 11, 2011 2:01 PM PST up reply actions  

That’s the thing. Who else do we have as a legit centre prospect besides Cody? He can always play the wing to start if we keep our current depth

Plus trading a first rounder

two years in a row is a bit of a risk. Imagine trading 2 firsts in the same deal. Would anyone be that daft?

LOL

in all seriousness though, if ATL is looking for a scoring forward, then why not do a MayRay plus d prospect for him and slot CoHo on the wing at line 3 and bump up a Hansen? K I know I’m getting carried away I just got this insane dream of Bogz in a Nucks uniform:p

I am just not sure I would make

a move for a D man at this point. When we get healthy we will have like 9 NHL tested D men. That would be more likely an off season thing with several guys UFA after this season. I would actually love to see a scoring winger come in or a couple of 4th line crashers. Would love to get more depth up front and leave guys like CoHo on the farm to play a lot and develop.

and Hansen does not deserve line 2. He is a bottom 6 forward

well I mean would we be so against doing that? Were pretty set at C as it is with Kes and Hank for many more years, meaning CoHo will be a 3rd line C for us and while we may have young depth, nothing to the extent that Bogosian could bring to the table
