The city of Vancouver was shocked when the Canucks traded away the team’s biggest rising star and Calder Memorial Trophy candidate Cody Hodgson for Sabres’ winger Zack Kassian. Hodgson has been one of the Canucks’ best players so far this season, with 33 points in 63 games, playing mainly between Jannik Hansen and Chris Higgins or Mason Raymond on the third line. Hodgson was selected 10th overall in the 2008 draft and had played only 20 games for Canucks before this season, 12 of which came in the playoffs last summer.
