Anton Rodin was once among the Vancouver Canucks most talented prospects, but knee injuries slowed down his progress, and he never really got a chance. On Monday, the Canucks announced that they had cut ties with Rodin:

Rodin was drafted 53rd overall by the Canucks in 2009. He played three seasons for Brynäs of the SHL, and joined the Utica Comets and Canucks for brief tenures last season. But the Canucks never gave Rodin the full vote of confidence, and he wound up appearing in just three NHL games with the club.
