CoHo is doing a fine job centering the primary scoring line...
Sure, if you consider having highest percentage of even strength goals being scored against while he's on the ice of any player in the NHL fine, I agree.
I guess the Derek Roy's, Jason Pominville types in the second + rounds never counted
14th worst you mean?
Do you expect the on ice save % to hold over a season? I don't.
Do you think that Vanek hanging back (we've benefited from those counter attacks) has anything to do with it?
I don't know. Vanek has a positive +/- and a positive corsi. Hodgson is negative in both. Hodgson is truly bad in his own end statistically. Vigneault wouldn't put him on the ice in defensive spots, and it looks like he had a clue. If ROR came here for Ennis, I would put him with Vanek and Poms because they see top competition. I'd hope that Hodgson could create enough on his own to replace Ennis, but I'm not convinced.
