Rodin (knee) is getting close to rejoining the lineup, Jon Abbott of TSN 1040 reports.
The 25-year-old Swede was signed to a one-year deal out of the Swedish Hockey League in the offseason after being drafted by the Canucks in 2009. Rodin tallied 37 points over 33 games with Brynas IF Gavle last season and Vancouver was willing to take a shot in the dark. His role on the team remains a bit of a mystery early, but should sort itself out when he's finally healthy and ready to play.
