With Kesler and Sedin ahead of Hodgson on the Center depth chart, it seems possible that Vancouver would be open to moving him if the right deal came along. Buffalo is in need of a top six center, and has assets.
Tyler Myers
I can't believe the Canucks passed on him to draft Hodgson
This is some serious revisionist history. Hodgson was seen as the #1 prospect in hockey for a while before his injury problems and there were tons of people, especially on HF, who hated Myers as a prospect.

Yup, it's always fun to go look at the thread for the Myers pick. We on the Sabres board keep that locked away for safe keeping when our heads get a little too big.

Let's wait and see. What makes you think Hodgson wont develop into one of the best two way centers in the league? Having to practice against the best team in the league will do well for his development. I love how people have written him off. Just shows how stupid people are.......
I was going to say Sekera for Hodgson straight up. I might be wrong, but won't the Canucks be in need of a top 4 dman with Erhoff (sp?) and Bieksa as UFAs? Adding Pominville for a dman that has lost a lot seems like an overpayment by a lot. Maybe throw in a mid level prospect like Brennan, possibly McNabb if we must?
Isn't Pominville's cap hit something like $5 million? He could address the scoring issue in the 2nd line, but the last thing we need is to further complicate our cap situation.

It is indeed 5.3 million, hence the reason I included Ballard's bloated contract.Pominville may be overpaid by 500,000 or so, but he brings 65 points a year, along with a great two way game and good PK'ing and leadership, he is a 1st line RW,and is definitely valuable.
Sekera will be cheap (under 2 million) and will be good for 30+ points.

Because I don't live in fantasy land,I understand the concept of giving up value in order to receiving it, we aren't getting Hodgson for our garbage.And as for Poms, he is definitely slipping in my eyes in terms of our forwards, I prefer Staff,Roy,Vanek, and Ennis over him.
