Why would SKA limiting his minutes make Pod more likely to sign? That would piss me off and make me want to leave. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MILLER - PETTERSSON - TOFFOLI PEARSON - HORVAT - BOESER HÖGLANDER - GAUDETTE - PODKOLZIN MOTTE - BEAGLE - McEWEN HUGHES - MYERS EDLER - TANEV TRYAMKIN - FANTENBERG MARKSTROM DEMKO I think we may have a Tkachuck-type player in Podkolzin. If that is the case, I don’t think Boeser will be in Vancouver for long. Edited September 19, 2020 by Me_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toffoli can play both wings so after this year: MILLER - PETTERSSON - BOESER TOFFOLI - HORVAT - PODKOLZIN No reason to trade Boeser just because Podkolzin joins the team 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind him back if it made sense. He's played very well here for what he's worth 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he signed around 3-4M after the expansion draft I wouldn't mind him for 2-3 years(3.5-4M then 2 years). I would move on from Roussel next off-season if it meant keeping Pearson, his 3M alone would make up the majority of Pearson's cap hit. He's one of those vets that fit in the room. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podkolzin looks slighty taller than him. Ozhiganov is listed at 189cm on the SKA website, so he's 6'2.5". I would say Podkolzin is a legit 6'3" right now and could very well be 6'3.5" as he does tend to slouch alot as he skates. But in this video he raises his arms and is standing straight up and looks slightly taller than Ozhiganov once they come together for the hug. I don't believe any hockey measurements. Cliff Ronning was often listed as 5'10" when playing. I remember being at a urinal once and he came and stood beside me. Not close... maybe 5'6". In all the pictures of the era a 5'10" Bure towered over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But peteys coach tried something like this so it's not completely off the wall bat$&!# crazy. I mean he didnt limit ice time but he was like yeah I dont think he should go to the nhl hes not ready. Come over and lights it up lol. Clearly just a ploy to keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't make much sense.... If he signed with them he loses any leverage at all compared with the available threat of leaving, so making it more unpleasant for him would reduce his willingness to sign an extension there. Also, what is the point of keeping him if you don't want to play him in a significant role? No coach or ownership tanks what they perceive as their best chance of winning just to exert pressure on a teenager for a future contract... it just doesn't add up. Podkolzin isn't the 2nd coming of Gretzky for teams to go to extraordinary measures to keep. He is a good player, who should be a top 6 NHLer within a year or two of coming over. I guess you are CanucksAbbyFan2? Otherwise, reading random fan blogs that spend most of the time quoting their own tweets as evidence is probably not the best place to go for inside hockey information.https://www.nucksmisconduct.com/2020/9/18/21445444/vasily-podkolzins-much-anticipated-final-khl-expected-breakout-season-hits-a-snag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can pot a few goals and plays on the PK. He's a better option than Roussel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Torts Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Pod is playing on Russia’s best hockey team. A top team in the KHL that isn’t in the business of grooming players to leave for the NHL next year. Can’t wait till he’s here let’s gooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
