BarnBurner Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Podkolzin played in the KHL today. 11:25 TOI. 2 SOG. 2 hits. From what I saw, he plays very disciplined and is gaining trust with his coach. Plus, the only shift I was able to see, he caused a turnover in the offensive zone, which led to a scoring chance. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Since people decided to go on a long tangent I'll ask again Is it possible for the Canucks to have Podkolzin come over to NA to train in the off season where they can control the aspects of his game they feel need addressing. Like April through Sept ish?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obligations of the Hockey Player See Article 5 - sub-section 1.35 - It is somewhat vague and I think it's really up to the team. 1.35. Fulfill all the requirements of the Club Manager, Head Coach (coaching staff) and General Manager in terms of professional training, training activities and game practice.

Fantastic.

I assume they're all more knowledgable on the topic than you seeing that they are professionals. Please tell me how you still support the Eriksson signing. I'm dying to hear lol.

Like April through Sept ish?? I think he would be able to come for prospects camp. I believe we have seen players under contract in other leagues participate (assuming their respective teams allow them to). I think when their camps start though, they are obligated to return back. So I don't see why he wouldn't be allowed to train here, but it might not be a "Canuck" specified training, instead just him coming over here and choosing to train. Burrows and others play summer Ball hockey and Boeser plays in the summer league. But they don't get paid to play those I imagine which would be another contractual thing. I think as long as they return back to camp healthy, they can do whatever they want. They have to tell the team of any injuries outside and that might affect things should they get hurt doing something beyond what's obligated to the contracted team.

But ok, I'll bite. At the time of the signing, he had just scored 30 goals, showed no signs of slowing down, was a UFA that other teams were bidding on, and had demonstrated good chemistry with the Sedins. Hence the contract. JB didn't have the benefit of hindsight, knowing that his production was going to fall off a cliff immediately. And no, I don't always agree with every action taken by every hockey professional. Many of them have demonstrated that they are idiots. However, when someone (JB) who has demonstrated a superior ability to evaluate the skills and career trajectories of young, still developing players, states his opinion about one that he has drafted, if I were going to dispute his opinion I would want some fairly compelling evidence on my side. But again, that is just me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was for only three years okay, but the six over six years hurts our cap room now. Good on LE getting a big contract. Bad on JB for giving it to him. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad on JB for giving it to him. His contract year he had 63 points in 82 games which put him 2nd on Boston for points that year. I think everybody or almost everybody was pretty excited about the signing. Like a lot of luring guys over the term was obviously not what anybody wanted but we thought we’d get 3 to 4 years of 50+ point top 6 production. The guy also came with a history with the twins and it finally felt like they spent money to bring somebody in just for their line. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alf, easy for you to say along with everyone else. None of us, including JB, knew how it would go. You yourself liked the signing: Alflives I think Erriksson said he just wants to help our team win, and will play the role needed. I like him with Bo and Baer, because he adds maturity and skill. Hansen reall has NO skill. August 16, 2016 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 30 years old, the age at which most players lose their hands. A look at the precipitous drop off of production from the Sedins as they hit 31 is instructive. Forwards that maintain high offensive production past 30 are rare. Yes, you can dig up examples, but that does not argue against it being unusual. And the Sedins, to all accounts, were fitness addicted - not something of which Eriksson has been accused. He was given a six year contract. Don’t get me wrong, he is still a smart player, even a useful player, he is just not a six million dollar player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
