Hodgson deserved more ice time, we didn't need him. Kassian is a better deal and has the same skill as hodgson in my opion. He is a big guy and something the canucks were looking for. I've been observing him play and he's quite the player. I also think hodgson was traded to to Coach Vs Player reasons.

Yeah, hodgson is a type of player who should be getting 20 minutes a game, but then again that's part of why Vancouver was/is so good they had guys like him on the 3rd line. Kassian is going to be a Lucic in like 2 years, he's a big guy that knows how to play.
Oh and your last post i thought you said I think some other guys deserve more ice time, not I'm seeing guys get the icetime they deserve, so ignore the last post.
The thing is, Crosby has playoff experience and a Stanley Cup behind him. If he's healthy through-out the playoffs they have a pretty good chance, don't forget Pittsburgh just came off of a 11(?) game winning streak.
Also, yes, there are players that do deserve more ice time than Crosby and other some-what overrated players but most of those players are younger guys, they will develop and will eventually get that ice time too.
