No he won't Russians never work in Van since Bure left.

 

Goldobin, Shirokov, Tryamkin, Zhukenov,Burmistrov.

 

Really?

Yeah so a few guys didnt work out so we should just avoid great players on purpose moving forward.

 

I trust Benning.  Chip Kelly?  Not so much.

Those players are not comparable. There's a bridge that needs guarding.

im pretty happy with the pick.

edit: Does he speak any english lol?

No. At least he used a translator during media day yesterday.

 

Which scares me. 

[Sean Monahan 5,099]

Minnesota will trade him away in two years a la Alex Tuch.

Cram it up your cram hole. 

I cant disagree with him. Its scary taking russians, especially for vancouver. 

 

However, if JB and jb took him over....sigh....krebs, boldy...etc etc.... they made the right choice. 

 

I dont think benning is under any pressure. This is a move for the future. 

[Smashian Kassian 9,651]

Great pick for Minnesota. Boldy probably woulda been my guy at #10. Love this guy.

 

 

[Edge_Case 95]

Hard to say JB is lookin’ out for his gig next year with this pick.  Great pick - nothin’ outta the ordinary for Mr Benning ‘tho.

I don’t think it happened.

Nice pick. Was ranked 3rd ova for most of the year. Dropped because of the Russian factor. Once Zegras off the board I'm excited for this pick. 

I don't think that was the reason he dropped. His performance this year (including both KHL and the International games) wasn't as good as the 2018 Hlinka. 

[N7Nucks 7,971]

Soderstrom at 11, guess I shouldn’t have been peer pressured by fans and media to not support him at 10. Was on his train all year, but Pod at 10 is too good to pass up. Arizona got a good one. 

[Smashian Kassian 9,651]

Like this guys upside alot, I'm happy with Pod but I'm jealous watching Boldy on stage.

 

Such silky mits for a big guy & a big shot too.

[SabreFan1 9,001]

I wonder if there's any chance Aquilini buys Podkolzin's contract from his KHL club.

 

*edit* Was informed that it isn't allowed.

None of those guys have the pedigree of the guy we just picked.

As my 2nd favorite team, I hope MTL gets Boldy.

Caufield -- Habs need to get even smaller.

One thing about aquaman, he loves hype. Managing to buy out pods last year to get him into the lineup now would be right up his alley 

Solid. Very good point. Thank you.
