And where do you propose they start Cody?
In the press box? on the 3rd/4th line wing?

I propose he starts in Chicago.

It's unlikely to happen, and it seems the Canucks are going to give him a shot in the regular season, but based on what I've seen in the pre-season, that's what I would do.

Ya, tough one with Hodgson. Clearly he is moving (much) better, and is stronger. IMO he hasn't connected with any of his wingers, there just seems to be zero chemistry.

He looked very good early on, now he only looks good in spurts - he's fading as the competition gets better. I think a nice goal would do him a world of good.

Jensen has been impressive, but then again I impress easily.

I was more impressed with Jensen over Coho except Jensen's finish. Jensen has good puck control and positioning but lacked finishing at this elite level.

One more year of junior for Jensen and he might be ready next year?

Never mind Tyler Myers, now I'm starting to wish we drafted Jake Gardiner instead of CoHo.
