Kevin Hodson is headed to Carolina. Or to Florida. Or to another team in search of a goaltender. Hodson hears them all, but is not affected by them. There is not much else he can do.
Nobody likes to be expendable.
You can only go out there and play well enough and consistent enough that you won't be traded. There is no question where Hodson wants to be. But he also would like the responsibility and challenge of being a No. 1 goaltender. It is not likely he can get that with the Wings because the job is held by Chris Osgood. Wings General Manager Ken Holland reiterated Sunday he is talking with other teams, but is not in a hurray to trade Hodson or Norm Maracle.
