I see him being a real favorite of Green (if he is still around in a year). The guy doesn't quit, is willing to get his hands dirty on either side of the ice and play physical throughout. I have no idea how quickly he will be able to adapt to the NHL game, but having a player who can play strong 5 on 5 as well as special teams is going to make him a really versatile addition. And if we hit on Hoglander too? Two more potential top 6 contributers on ELC not only gives us an embarassment of forward talent, but should help ease the cap crunch. Pearson needs to watch his back. I feel he is the odd man out as we move forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komodo0921 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 This kid is going to be a beast for us. Boeser Podkolzin Virtanen Macewen This is going to be a very potent right side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This video looks at sample of his penalty killing. Something you will notice is his aggressiveness + pressure he applies on puck carriers. He had some outstanding time killing sequences. Powered by @InStatHockey https://t.co/H3vU6BrOH9 https://twitter.com/DanielGScouting/status/1292845663890345984?s=20 Just gonna repost this because the vid didn’t seem to embed. Really good video that breaks down the pros and cons of Podkolzin’ game, especially with regards to his skating. @DanielG correctly notes the inefficiencies and mechanical issues. Good thing is, these are all correctable. Better thing is, even with the issues, Podkolzin still plays with a tonne of pace, is regularly one of the fastest players on the ice, and has a relentless motor. I can only imagine this kid after he does some skating specific work and irons out some of those inefficiencies. The amount of power, agility, and acceleration he could gain is significant, and he wouldn’t have to work as hard as he does now. Thing is, Pod would keep working just as hard, only with more efficient skating, he’d become even more of a beast than he already is.

Yup. 2020-21 is the last year on his KHL deal. Guaranteed he’s coming after. He looks ready. Would love to see him start out on the 3rd line with Gaudette. Eventually he’ll work his way into the top six, but I could see him and Gauds forming an effective duo, along with whoever ends up on the other wing. Between his pace, motor, possession drive, retrieval, forecheck and backcheck, very underrated playmaking, offensive instincts, and willingness to go to the net, he just has so much game shifting ability to inject into any line. With Gaudette, there’s plenty of offensive pop, and lots of effort and drive, but the defensive reliability hasn’t been there. I could see Podkolzin changing that quickly, and making the 3rd line very trustworthy, while also a legit scoring threat. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will also bring an extra enthusiastic energy to an already young, but experienced core.. it is eXXXciting !

warrchief Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I am sure once he is in Vancouver, his skating will improve tremendously. Just imagine how much faster he will be once he corrects his skating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 BO and Podz. An Alien and a Russian tank. And this will be our second line. Oh my... We have NEVER had this much young talent. Ever... Lord Stanley may have to buy a home in Vancouver real soon. He may be staying here for awhile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I wonder if Podz is seeing any game hilites? If so, he must be drooling at the opportunity coming his way. Same with Tram - he does follow the team, so I expect he has at least viewed the abbreviated versions that are online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be one of the best in the NHL in a couple years. We just need to work the left side a little more and we are good to go... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
