That's actually a bigoted comment. You are generalizing about a nationality based on what? People are individuals guy. What does Goldobin or Shirokov or Try have to do with Podkolzin's talent and drive? nothing

I told you a couple of weeks ago that a large percentage of the fan base would go crazy if this happened....."And the usual suspects ( or idiots as I like to refer to them as ) have supported my theory” He will be a great pick.

No Vancouver Canuck fan with any sense of historical knowledge would be happy with 4 solid defensemen.  History tells us we need 10 legitimate NHLers with 6-7 that are considered very solid.  Injuries are a right of passage here when it counts.

Those are just players we drafted. We're obviously not going to build a D-core with just drafted players.

 

Benning has gotta pull the trigger on a trade at some point. When players like Trouba., Barries, and Ristolainen are potentially available you jump on it.

 

Guys like Zaitsev, Gardiner, and Meyers are not the solution.

I don't think Podkolzin was their player until he fell into their laps.

 

I'm thinking if Podkolzin and Zegras were gone then he would have made the trade. I also wonder if Broberg was big on their list.

I love pumping my own tires, I said a few weeks ago that Pod was a Benning guy if even half of what was said about him was true. Still really shocked he was around at 10. We got a good one, despite what the crybabies have to say about Russians.

As it turns out, if it was a half dozen spots down they could have still had Newhook or Krebs.  Philly got a 2nd for 3 spots, so likely a pick or so.

Kaliyev, Brink, Lavoie, Leason, Korczak, Dorofeyev all passed over on day 1.

 

All would be great picks for us @ 40 tomorrow.

 

Korczak is my personal favourite, but I didn't think Kaliyev would make it through the first round. Top 10-15 upside, must be some big concerns. 

Any of these guys play with Pod?

 

:P
