You mean his play after he was demoted to the ECHL?

But Rodin is still in the AHL.

Maybe we should just call you BoxscoreDude.
Pretty much tells you what I think of Rodin and our Prospect depth don't it? Here's a hint - it's fucking lame. But carry on and keep dreaming of Rodin making the grade cause in the real world it won't happen. Long term, Sauve there is still a slim chance that Sauve could make it, the guy was on his death bed, at least give him that will ya?

Where did I say I thought Rodin would "make the grade"?

I just don't think you can rank the potential of a prospect in the ECHL higher than someone in the AHL especially if they are the same age.

And when was Sauve on his death bed?

Gillis came out recently and revealed that Suave's prognosis from getting hit by the car was bad to the point of being life threatening at one point.

Do you have any source for this, I'd like to read it.

I only recall him suffering from a concussion and other minor issues, and while that is a serious injury, I don't recall ever hearing that accident being a life threatening event.

Yann Sauve hopes rehab stint with Kalamazoo Wings leads back to NHL

echl stats

Following a concussion which, Sauve suffered when he was struck by a car during training camp in the fall of 2010,
the former Saint John Sea Dog spent time in three professional leagues during the 2010-11 season (the ECHL, AHL and a three game NHL stint). That has to be difficult, and certainly it's exceedingly rare....In 2011-12, Sauve played full-time in Chicago

(Curiousity got to me) :look:
Less Canucks embarrassment please.

Leave it up to a "you-know-wot" to make a statement without any documentation! 8-)
This is the car accident I recall, and the same as SC I thought it was a serious concussion but nothing life threatening.

I did, however, find the quote I think RD misunderstood.

Vancouver Sun Article

"Yann Sauve got hit by a car, almost killed."

I don't take that as his injuries were life threatening, there's nothing that states anything like that. Rather he was lucky the incident didn't kill him. He was taken to the hospital and released right away.

MORE DETAILS ON SAUVE'S ACCIDENT RELEASED

by you telling me it was here, you would think I was smart enough to come here and hhmmmm it is about the wolves so where else would SC post stuff about the AHL and our prospects. I think it is the scotch that is affecting my brains, but I think Pot would say differently :mrgreen:

Saturday March 9

AHL

Milwaukee 3 Chicago 2
Climie 27 saves on 29 shots

Ebbett, (11) (Archibald, Joslin)
Gordon, (15) (Ebbett, Haydar) (PP)

Shootout:
Juuso Puustinen Goal
Darren Haydar Goal
Matt Halischuk Goal
Michael Davies No
Taylor Beck No
Nicklas Jensen No
Daniel Bang Goal
Bill Sweatt No

Jensen played his first AHL game this season - I didn't watch, does anybody have a report of how he did?

ECHL

Toledo 3 Kalamazoo 5
Anthony 1 goal (3rd), +1
Grenier 1 goal (4th), 2 assists, +2 (selected 1st star)
Mallet 0 points, even
Myron 0 points, even
Rai did not play
Sauve 1 goal (8th), even

NCAA

ECAC Tournament
Colgate 1 St. Lawrence 4
Price 0 points, -1

The Raiders are eliminated, and Price's college career is over. I would think he has a pretty good chance at being offered an NHL contract - his right-handed shot will help him.

Maine 4 New Hampshire 4 (OT)
Hutton 2 assists, +2 (selected 2nd star)

St. Cloud State 2 Wisconsin 3
Labate 0 points, even

OHL

Belleville 2 Barrie 3 (OT)
Gaunce 0 points, even

Drafted 4th round, I wonder how much a player's value drops (if any)when they make it know they will be attending school for 4 years?
