SilentSam Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 3 minutes ago, MystifyNCrucify said: Yeah dont mind me. Benning knows what hes doing and im ok with his pick, because of that. Im pretty sure we will see Podkolzin in the “top ten prospects not in the nhl” in 2020. Lets just hope he gets nhl games, and sticks long enough to make his mark, instead of being a whole thread dedicated to how vancouver can “persuade him to come back to vancouver” a la tryamkin. I really appreciate how our talent pool/ farm is stacking.. time releasing your talent into the Bigs is artful, and what makes franchises strong for many years. Toronto for example has a glut of great hockey players, some they will have to discard to balance the payroll. So, theoretically we will get Podzi as a 20 year old, he is about to turn 18.. he is close to 200.. 6.0 .. could be 6.1-6.2 210-215. Strong. nothing wrong with that.

Smashian Kassian Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Was really high on Heinola at one point, but at the end of the day he's a bit of a project. Wasn't impressed with his defensive game @ U18's, & he's not the quickest guy. Very good vision with the puck, overall smart player, should be a good PP guy. If they give him some time the Jets might have a good 2nd pair guy here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still need some talent on the left wing. I would love to see them go hard after Panarin. I think he'd be a great fit on the top line with Petey and Boes. We're at the point where some smart trades and signings are the key next step. Having Madden jump up in rankings and potential along with some smart picks we're getting there.

Ghostsof1915 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 My answer is if he turns out to be a bust I will remind all the BPA gurus out there. Way too risky pick for my taste. Let's hope Benning knows things we don't. Guess we will find out in 2 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jb’s took him and they know better than i do. Hard not to be just a “bit” sketchy about podkolzin though. Oh well, welcome to vancouver in at least two years Vasiliy Podkolzin? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSacamano Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 All the pre-draft hype and it’s been pretty vanilla... I shouldn’t be surprised as this usually happens but with just about everyone reporting that the Canucks are active, and many reports that there will be a lot of action league wide, it’s been a bit of a let down. But I do love the pick - think we got a steal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
